     [Priority Channel Selection/Unhide Channel Data]

 For 12- or 24-channel versions, select Priority channels for
 Scanning. Digits "1" or "2" in this field indicate current
 selections. Press [1] or [2] select the current channel (and
 deselect the previous). The channel may be either displayed
 or hidden (it will become unhidden). 

 Up/Down Arrows: Choose a channel.
 [1] or [2]: Activate the chosen channel for Priority.

 NOTE! In 4-channel sets, "¥¥¥" is displayed, and a Priority
 Channel cannot be selected. Other channel data can still be
 edited after pressing the Arrow Keys.

 The Space Bar or keys 0 - 9 can be pressed to enter either a
 blank and a number, two numbers (up to 99), or two blanks.
 Press Enter to accept the displayed digit(s).

 Arrow Keys: Change field (no change in Channel Number).

:chedit_rxf
   [Edit Rx/Simplex Frequency & Hide/Unhide Channel Data]

 Use 0 - 9 to enter the desired channel frequency, and press
 Enter. This frequency will be adjusted if it does not match
 the Channel Step parameter (in Environ Data), and will also
 appear in the Tx Freq field. You do not need to enter all 8
 digits: empty digits to the right are zero-filled. Pressing
 [.] (period) after several digits forces them to MHz. Press
 period first to change only kHz.

 Pressing only the Space Bar without entering a number
 toggles the data for the entire channel between hidden and
 unhidden (except the first channel, which cannot be hidden).
 Hidden channels display "--" in place of field entries, and
 are not used for operation (although they are still stored
 in hidden form for possible recall later).
#
#

:chedit_txf
  [Enter Transmit Frequency & Enable/Disable Transmission]

Use keys 0 - 9 to enter the desired transmitting frequency,
and press the Enter key to accept. If the frequency does not
match the Channel Step parameter (in Common Data), it will be
adjusted to the nearest valid step. You do not need to enter

previously set transmitting parameters are hidden until the
transmitter is again enabled for this channel, and "Tx Inh"
is displayed).

NOTE! The Tx Freq is automatically copied from the Rx Freq,
      so any changes here will be LOST if the Rx Freq is
      changed. Therefore, the Rx Freq should be set first,
      before editing the Tx Freq.
