:chedit_prich
       [Priority Channel Selection/Unhide Channel Data]

 Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight a Priority
 Channel for scanning, and press the Space Bar.  

 If the channel was hidden, it will be unhidden. Unless it
 was already selected, it will be selected as the Priority 
 Channel ("[]" around it). If it was already selected, it 
 will be deselected and there will be NO Priority Channel.
 A new selection supercedes any previous selection.

 Select another field with the arrow keys when done.

 NOTE: Dual Watch and Priority selection cannot both be
 enabled (select in Common Data).
#
#
#
:chedit_name
                     [Naming a Channel]

 Use the up and down arrows to highlight a channel to name.
 Then use up to 4 characters: "0 - 9", "A - Z", "< = > * - \
 / _" and space(s) to enter a Name for the highlighted
 channel. While entering, the highlighting is replaced by a
 blinking cursor. Backspace deletes one character.

 Press Enter to accept, or Esc to cancel.

 NOTE: DTMF SelCall and Channel Names cannot both be enabled
 (select in Common Data).
#
#
#
:chedit_dtmf
                 [Setting DTMF SelCall Codes]

 Use the up and down arrows to highlight a channel in which 
 to program a 3-digit DTMF SelCall. Then press 0 - 9 to
 enter (exactly 3) digits. Backspace deletes, Esc cancels. 

 After entering the digits, you can press the Space Bar to
 toggle the Transpond function on ("T" suffix displayed),
 and again to disable the DMTF SelCall on this channel.

#
: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
 copy Rx Freq + Default Split(in Environ Data) to 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 channels 1-01, 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).

 NOTE! Any entries or changes to this field will also occur
       in the Tx Freq. field, so you may need to edit that
       field after making any changes here.

 Arrow Keys: Change field (before or after editing 
                Frequency).
 Space Bar:  Hide/Unhide entire channel (exc. 1-01 & 2-01).

:chedit_save
                [Power Saver on/off toggle]

Press the Space Bar to toggle the automatic Power Saver
feature on and off. When on, the transceiver draws less
current from the battery by turning itself off periodically
during squelched monitoring on this channel, to prolong
battery charge life. The Saving Interval (off time) can be
set in the Common Data.

Arrow Keys: Change fields after setting on/off.
Space Bar:  Toggle on/off.

match the Channel Step parameter (in Common Data), it will be
adjusted to the nearest valid step. 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, while pressing [.] first allows entering only kHz.

Pressing only the Space Bar without entering a number toggles
the this channel's transmit capability on and off (when off,
previously set transmitting parameters are hidden until the
transmitter is again enabled for this channel, and "Tx Inh"
is displayed).
#
#
#
:page
#

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. 

Arrow Keys: Change field (before or after Editing Freq.)
Space Bar:  Enable/Disable Transmission on this channel.
0 - 9:      Input a digit.
