2.14.9 Running the DOS Program:

Turn on the radio. The channels on the radio may start scrolling - this is normal.

Change to the \TIL directory and type PCDL30 and enter. The radio should stop

The data file is continuously updated as each change is made, so you don’t have to
save the file at any time. To have multiple data files, you will have to copy the data
file to another name and then copy it back when needed. There always has to be a
data file called “DATA30" or the program will not work.
2.14.10 Helpful Hints for the DOS program:
* NEVER plug in the radio while the power supply is
on
or damage may occur to your
printer port.
* You can only use LPT1 as the printer port. Ensure it is enabled in the computer BIOS.
* The program works best on older, slower computers but has worked on some new PCs
running DOS. A good way to try this out is to make a DOS bootable floppy with the
software on it running the software from the A: drive.
