To insert a new frequency on an empty channel for the Barrett 930 transceiver, use one of the following methods:

1. Internal Programmer: Use the built-in programmer within the 930 transceiver.
2. Barrett 900 Series Programming Software: Connect the transceiver to a PC with the programming software installed.
3. Cloning Cable: Use the cloning cable (Barrett P/N BCA90024) to copy settings from another 930 transceiver.

These methods allow programming of frequencies and other settings onto empty channels.
