7.2.  Serial Port Channel Change 
 
 

The RF channel can be changed by sending an ATX instruction to the serial port when the Address Mode has 
been selected 

 

   

 

 

ATXn 

 

where n is the Hex Channel Number shown in the table above. 

 
 

If the menu letter is set to A, then the RF frequency would be set to 458.525MHz when the modem is switched 
on. This can be modified to say 458.650MHz by sending the following four hexadecimal characters to the serial 
port: 
 
  

 

0C 

 

 

41  

54  

58 

0C 

 
No more data must be sent to the port for 20mSec while the radio sets the new frequency. CTS will be brought 
low and then high to indicate the modem is busy.
