• Moving from menu item to menu item and from screen to screen may take from
1 to 7 or 8 seconds. Some commands require that the entire contents of the
radio’s memory be accessed. An hourglass symbol may or may not be present
for some or all of that time.
• If the Configuration Software acts as if it is accepting commands, but the radio
does not appear to be responding, exit the Configuration Software and start
over. A power glitch on the radio during the middle of a Configuration Software
session can cause a serial communications conflict.
• The adjustments on the alignment menu are somewhat slower than changes in
settings on the settings menu. More computations and radio memory
communications are required on the alignment items.
