Programming notes:
NEVER program in XXXXXXX for TX or RX frequency (VCO goes unlocked no matter
what)
NEVER program in 000.000 for TX or RX frequency (TX will be very spurious
matter what)
IF you want to create a channel as RX only, program in a TX frequency
that you are licensed for or a UHF CB channel if in U, W1 or W2 band.
BE VERY CAREFUL when programming in frequencies - there
should only be 4 digits after the decimal point and no spaces to pad out
the last position, and no leading zeros in the digits before the decimal
point in the case of E band VHF.
Incorrect programming will have one of three effects:
radio will not power up (most common)
radio will have unlocked VCO on TX or RX or both (radio inoperable)
radio will cause severe interference due to the transmission of spurii.
3 scan groups available for FM91, FM97
2 scan groups available for FM92, FM93 and all waterproof radios
10 channels per scan group, with one of these only available as a
priority channel
Channel number range for FM91, FM97 is 1-120; FM92 is 1-99;
FM93 is 1-10
Power selection entry is by the letters H, M, L & S (for high, medium,
low and selectable) and must be consistent with the type of radio.

Notes on FPP Version 3.0 (altered)
Normally,

transmission and reception was fixed within the one band ie. If you had a U band
radio 450 to 470 MHz, you could not program in any frequency for outside this
band.
In this altered version of FPP however, this restriction is lifted.
in mind that the VCO has its limits, however.

This altered version of FPP does have its bugs, too.
RX only channel by programming in xxxxxx or 000.0000 as the TX frequency, the
radio will either not operate at all, go VCO unlocked on RX or transmit large
amounts of spurious signals.
Help! I get an error message saying the EPROM programmer is not initialised!
That is OK.
FPP was designed to work with an internal EPROM programming card

and then using whatever EPROM burning equipment/software you have, write this
file to the EPROM.
