Options | Band Map: Customizable band edge boundaries used to drive the band data output. BCD codes can
be customized for driving antenna switches or bandpass filter control.
Options | Digital Band Map: Customizable band boundaries for the digital mode operation. These settings are
used for the (optional) automatic selection of audio switching and PTT mode based on operating
frequency. Careful selection of the "Digital band" is neccessary for transceivers which do not have a
special mode for AFSK operation or do not report the mode in the computer command set. This
primarily effects Kenwood and TenTec transceivers although it applies to some older Icom and Yaesu
radios.

Don't use audio devices: when checked, Router does not use audio devices and the settings on the
Audio Mixer and DVK tabs have no effect.

(sound card) in the appropriate fields at Audio Mixer tab and will actively control the audio devices
Automatically assign microHAM audio devices: when checked, Router will automatically assign
proper audio device of the same name if multiple microHAM interfaces of the same kind are
connected to the one computer. This setting does not apply to MK2R or MK2R+, it applies only to
DIGI Keyer.
Options | DVK:
Voice message time limit: maximum time for each voice message up to 120 seconds.
Sample rate: sampling frequency used during recording and playback of voice messages.
Sample size: sampling size used during recording of voice messages. Sampling size primarily effects
audio quality of the messages. 16bit samples provide higher quality than 8bit.

Options | USB:
Noise immunity: selects how many times an undelivered USB packet will be repeated before the USB
device is disconnected from the operating system.
Response time: selects how long the USB interface will wait for additional data before sending data to
the operating system.
