USING THE PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
Note: Power up the radio and connect it, via the programming cable, to the host computer
before opening the programmer.
Upon starting the programming software, a screen will appear with two buttons at the upper right,
Program Radio and Programmer Configuration. Program radio reads the configuration of the
radio and moves the user to the program radio menus which are described below. Programmer
configuration is used to select the appropriate serial port and password (if desired).
Note: Changes made to the radio via the programmer will be accepted by the radio, but
will not be permanent i.e. if the radio is powered down, the changes will be lost. The pages
of the radio menu will have a button, Update Radio, which will make changes permanent.

PROGRAMMER MENUS
The DTXM Programmer has seven menus or pages, selectable via tabs at the top of each page,
which are always visible. These pages are:
1. Frequency-Used to program the channel frequencies and operating mode of the radio.
2. General-Used to set programmable features/functions of the radio.
3. NXDN-Used to program the NXDN Digital features/functions of the radio.
4. Encryption-Used to program the Key Data of the Encryption feature of the radio.
5. Audio-Used to program the TX and RX Audio features/functions of the radio.
6. Alignment-Used to align and set the
radio’s RF functions in the radio.
7. Summary-Used to summarize on one page the model, firmware, and Serial Number
information.
The programmer also has radio buttons on the top right of each page. These are:
Receiving-This button is the software equivalent to the hardware PTT input. Clicking on this
button forces the radio into transmit mode where the button will change to Transmitting. Clicking it
again will put the radio back into Receive.
Monitor-This button is the software equivalent to the hardware RX MON input. Clicking on this
button will override any squelch operation.
Update Radio-This button is used to update the radio with all of the changes that have been
made via the programmer. Although the radio accepts changes as they are made via the
programmer, the changes are volatile i.e. they are lost when the radio is powered off. Clicking on
this button makes the changes non-volatile so that they are saved and stored permanently unless
changed via the programmer.
Read Radio-Forces the programmer to do a read of the radio to update the programmer screens
with the current state of the radio. This allows a radio to be connected to the programmer and
powered up without closing and then reopening the programmer.
