Operation

3.1

Main Screen

When the user initially starts the program, the main user screen is displayed. This screen is
used to control the client (transceiver) databases. The following section describes each
menu option.

This will create a new Barrett 900 series transceiver database with no clients in it. Use the
Clients Menu to add, edit and delete clients (transceivers) to and from this database.

This will open an existing Barrett 900 series transceiver database. If a Barrett 550 / DOS
RadCfg database is selected you will be prompted to convert it. The new database created
will be of the same name, but with the .MDB file extension.

This will close the currently opened Barrett 900 series transceiver database. All edit features
will be disabled until another Barrett 900 transceiver database is opened.
