Instructions for common menu tasks are provided below. The use of
Virtual Radio Channels (VRCs) may require additional explanation
for new users. VRCs allow over-the-air data to be directed to specific
interface ports (IP or Serial). Conceptually, this can be pictured as cre-
ating "pipes" for delivery of data to the desired radio interfaces.
VRC works by associating data from a specific port (IP and Serial) with
a VRC channel number (1, 2, or 3). Each port at the receiving end then
filters incoming data based on the associated VRC number.
NOTE: The Virtual Radio Channel (VRC) feature only works on
radios configured to operate in Packet Mode.
To create the "pipes" that direct data to the desired ports, a route must
be established using the IP Payload Configuration Menu (or the
COM1/COM2 Settings Menu for serial data). The default menu setting
is to listen to all channels.) The
