SM06 Rev. 4.10 Tac/Com Control Head Manual
3.6 Status Line Editing
The status lines for each radio contain all the extra functions supported by the radio.
Because this is largely defined in software, it also provides a very cost-effective method
of upgrading the system performance or features through simple software (EPROM)
changes, rather than radical panel re-design. Some radios may have little or no
function support (such as the FliteFone 40), others may have many features (such as
NT-series RT's) including power level shift, scan, tones, and priority.
Like editing other data, only allowable options are presented, guided by the control
head’s reading of the interface card's capability and the stored software installation set
up routines. This mode can also be used to display the status of the radio quickly,
without editing any data.
To edit status line data, press the RADIO button until the triangular cursor appears to
the left of the radio whose status is to be edited or displayed. Once the radio is
selected, ST(status) EDIT mode may be entered to change the information.

In this mode, each of the available functions for the radio can be set, or reviewed. Only
valid functions and choices will be presented. Note that for this radio, the TX mode
function is set for DUPLEX operation. Pressing NEXT will advance to the next function,
while pressing SELECT will select what choice is wanted for this function.
