Page 9: Channel And Bank Selection
General Information C H a n n E l an d B an k SEl EC tI on Four channel select lines, CSEL 0 – CSEL 3, from the motherboard are brought into the receiver and transmitter modules by the 48-pin rear connector, allowing selection of 16 different channels. These signals are normally pulled low in the receiver and transmitter, but are typically set by jumpers on the motherboard to select Channel 1 by default. - Page 10 This Page Intentionally Left Blank MT-4E VHF & UHF Receiver & Transmitter Instruction Manual IM08-MT-4E-TXRX-P1162...

For current RSS versions and instructions, refer to up-to-date help files on the Daniels Electronics website (www.danelec.com > Products > Software > Radio Service Software (RSS) > RSS Download Page). Once RSS is downloaded with either the full or demo version, click Help to access the help files. - Page 12 Radio Service Software Programming Installation The RSS should install automatically once the CD is inserted. If not, run SETUP.EXE, located on the CD. NOTE: The receiver and transmitter must be programmed separately. Once the connections are made, the RSS may be run on the computer and the radio switched on. The first time a receiver or transmitter is connected, the USB drivers will need to be installed from the CD using the Hardware Update Wizard.
