Upgrading Radio Firmware
The download dialog (from the programming application, click
Tools >
Download
) contains a column called NTID. This shows the
network ID for each device. When reporting a radio system’s
configuration, the table will list the various types of firmware for all
devices in the system.
Notice
Reporting the configuration will also show SCT (System
Configuration Table) files for each device, which must exist for a radio
system. These files are the result of downloading network IDs (see
“Downloading Network IDs” on page 19
). Do not attempt to delete
these files.
When you download firmware to hardware of a particular type (for
example, the target hardware shows as a radio body), it will be sent to all
devices in the system of the same hardware type. The firmware will be
downloaded to each device in sequence.
For more information, click the Help [?] button from the programming
application’s Download dialog (Tools > Download).

Programmable I/O
Programmable I/O form
Programmable I/O pins will only be activated on
the radio body where the input or output is
connected to.
Some I/O functions and pins may not operate as
expected in a dual body configuration (for
example: “output F1 to F6 key status”, or any
actions assigned to the CH_GPIO1 control head
output).
