USING THE PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
Note: Power up the radio and connect it, via the programming cable, to the host computer
before opening the programmer.
Upon starting the programming software, a screen will appear with two buttons at the upper right,
Program Radio and Programmer Configuration. Program radio reads the configuration of the
radio and moves the user to the program radio menus which are described below. Programmer
configuration is used to select the appropriate serial port and password (if desired).
Note: Changes made to the radio via the programmer will be accepted by the radio, but
will not be permanent i.e. if the radio is powered down, the changes will be lost. The pages
of the radio menu will have a button, Update Radio, which will make changes permanent.

PROGRAMMER MENUS
The DTXM Programmer has five menus or pages, selectable via tabs at the top of each page,
which are always visible. These pages are:
1. Frequency-Used to program the channel frequencies of the radio.
2. Settings-Used to set programmable features/functions of the radio.
3. Alignment-Used to align and set the internal digital potentiometers in the radio. Information
on the use of this page is found in the Maintenance section of the manual.
4. Summary-Used to summarize on one page the model, settings, and alignment information.
5. Restore Data-Used to program the unit with a set of previously saved frequency and setting
values.
The programmer also has radio buttons on the top right of each page. These are:
1. Receiving-This button is the software equivalent to the hardware PTT input. Clicking on this
button forces the radio into transmit mode where the button will change to Transmitting.
Clicking it again will put the radio back into receive.
2. Monitor-This button is the software equivalent to the hardware RX MON input. Clicking on
this button will override any squelch operation.
3. Clone Radio-This button is used to update the radio with the changes that have been made
via the programmer as shown on the programming screens with the exception of the
deviation and balance settings. Since the deviation and balance settings are unique to each
radio, even though the actual deviation may be the same, this button allows the personality of
one radio to be shown on the programming screens and then loaded into another radio. Also,
if the programmer is disconnected and then reconnected, this button will still function. If the
deviation and balance settings have not been changed which is normal, this button is
performs the same as the update radio button below.
