Programming Radios
In the Old Days…› Frequency Setting
Crystal (had to buy each channel) Thumbwheel (single frequency) Multiple Memories
› PL Support After market board with DIP switches Manufacturer supplied boards Built-in to radio

Programming Radios Today
Each Manufacturer uses different methods
Each Radio is different Lots of channels are tedious to
program and hard to edit Software makes it easier
