Youcanprogramtheinternaltransceivermodemwithalistofupto20frequencies,whichare
storedinnon‐volatilememory.Thislistispre‐configuredbasedonthefrequenciesthatyou
requestedwhenyouorderedtheunit.Governmentregulationsstipulatethatonlymanufacturers
orauthorizeddealerscancreatethis
frequencylistandthatallfrequenciesprogrammedintoaunit
mustcomplywiththehostcountryregulations.Ifyouneedtoadd,delete,orreplacefrequencies,
contactyourTrimbledealer,andprovidetheradiomodemserialnumberandanupdatedlistofthe
frequenciesyourequire.Onceyoureceivethe

ConfiguringaPCUSBportasavirtualserialport
ItispossibletousetheUSBinterfacefromanR10receiverwithasoftwareapplicationthatrequires
aserialport.
Forexample,theTrimbleWinFlashutilitycanberunonacomputerthathasnoserialportby
connectingtheUSBcablebetweenthecomputerandthereceiver.
Anotherexample
wouldallowtherece ivertostreamNMEAmessagesoveraUSBinterfaceintoa
computer'svirtualserialport,allowingapplicationssuchastheHYDROprosoftwaretousethe
NMEAmessagesonacomputerthathasnophysicalserialports.
