Configuration

It is possible to change any of the settings found in the OSD configuration menu using the TBS Agent - with the

exception of the calibration of the compass and analog/digital RSSI levels, these still has to be performed with

the model and unit powered from the main flight battery.

One additional feature found in the TBS Agent is ability to change the HAM callsign to suit your own preference.

It can be 0 to 10 characters long (A-Z 0-9 ? ! . - allowed.)
