Configuration Files

NOTE: It is recommended that users periodically export their config-
uration file so that it can be loaded back into the radio if their
old one requires replacement.
The transceiver provides a Dump/Load Configuration File utility to ease
programming of operating parameters. This is especially useful if you
have a large number of radios to configure, and want to ensure that each
radio is uniformly configured.
