4. In the Channel block start box, enter the channel number of the first
channel you want to create.
5. In the Channel block end box, enter the channel number of the last
channel in the block.
6. In the Receive frequency increment box, enter a number of kHz. This
determines how much the receive frequency of a channel differs from the
previous channel. For example, if you enter 15 kHz and the previous
channel's receive frequency is 10 MHz, the next channel's receive
frequency will be 10.015 MHz.
Do not assign a prohibited frequency to the transmitter.
Important:
For example, 406.0-406.100 MHz is reserved internationally for
distress beacons.
The Service Kit does not check whether the base station can

operate on these frequencies.
7. In the Transmit frequency increment box, specify the number of kHz
that the transmit frequency will increment for each channel you add.
8. Click OK to create the block of channels and close the dialog box. The
channels appear in the Channel Table form.
You can import a file containing channels that have been exported from
another base station. Importing overwrites any channels with the same number
as the imported channel. Imported channels always have the default signalling
and channel profiles.
To import channels
1. In the Channel Table form (Configure > Base Station > Channel Table),
click Import.
2. Navigate to the folder containing the TB8100 channel file (*.t8h), select it,
and click Open.
You can export channel configurations. This provides an exported channel file
that you can import into other base station channel tables. It also generates a
text file for your records.
To export channels
1. In the Channel Table form (Configure > Base Station > Channel Table),
select the channels you want to export by holding down the Control key
and clicking the row selector at the left of the table.
2. Click Export.
3. Specify the path and file name for the file you want to create.
4. Click Save.
The Service Kit saves the file, giving it the extension .t8h. It also saves an
equivalent text file with the same name and with the extension .txt. The text
file gives you a readable view of the exported channel. Editing this file has
no effect on the exported channels.
