The SAVE ARCHIVE function is used to create (or update) an archive
copy of the codeplug information onto a diskette or hard disk.
Note: You are strongly encouraged to make an archive copy of
every radio installed or serviced in order to be able to quickly
restore customer information in case of a codeplug failure.
Function Key Descriptions

Programming the
Radio Codeplug
(Requires RIB)From the MAIN MENU, press F3 and then F8 to bring up this screen.
This screen allows you to program the radio. A radio interface box
(RIB) is required to perform this operation. To program this radio, you
must first read the radio using the F2 READ RADIO function or read an
archived codeplug using the F3 Get Archive function.
The serial number of the connected radio must be identical to the one in the
serial number field on the RSS and the PROGRAMMING HISTORY screen
(F3/F9). If the serial numbers are different, programming will be
aborted.
Note: The time required to PROGRAM a codeplug will depend
directly on your computer type and the size of the codeplug
being programmed.
The status of the programming operation will be displayed on the
screen.
Field Definition
Programming Codeplug BlockThis is the number of blocks that have been programmed. The status
bar shows the relative value of the number of blocks programmed so
far compared to the total number of blocks to be read.

Change/View MenuPress F4 at the MAIN MENU to access the CHANGE/VIEW MENU.
The CHANGE/VIEW MENU is a multi-level menu. Its sub-menus are
used to change or view codeplug features and option configurations.
All codeplug parameters are classified as Radio Wide, Conventional or
Trunking. The CHANGE/VIEW MENU functions allow you to access
each category.
A codeplug must be loaded into your computer’s memory (using GET/SAVE/
PROGRAM MENU functions) before you can access the CHANGE/VIEW
screens. You may change or view an archive file without having a radio
connected. CHANGE/VIEW functions do NOT actually modify the
radio’s codeplug data. Instead, they modify a copy of the data retrieved
from the codeplug or archive file.
Note: If a specific feature was not purchased with the current radio
model, you will NOT be able to access the corresponding data field or
screen for that feature. Refer to your Radio Catalog Sheets or Radio
Service Manual for radio model descriptions and features.
Note: If the radio being programmed is “ASTRO READY” (that is,
supports analog operation only), you will NOT be able to access
ASTRO-related screens and options.
After all change/view modifications are completed, you MUST return
to the GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU and program the changes back
into the radio or save them to a new archive file. Otherwise, the
modifications will be lost when you turn off your computer or load
another codeplug into memory.
