Program Radio - Read

# Read

Allows the user to read the data stored in a radio.

If the radio is successfully read, all the fields read from the radio are loaded into the CPS screen.

To read from a radio:

1. Make sure that the target radio is powered off before attaching a programming cable.
2. Connect the target radio to the USB port of the PC using a programming cable.
3. Power up the target radio using Power On/Off knob.
4. Wait a few seconds after connecting the radio to allow time for the PC to detect the radio.
5. Select Program>Read on the menu bar or click on the tool bar. If the reading fails during the first try, please repeat this step as the radio may not have been detected yet.
6. A progress bar appears as the radio is read. Upon a successful read, the progress bar disappears and a window appears to indicate that the read is successful. When the radio's CPS profile appears on the CPS screen, click (+) next to the root folder in the Tree view to expand the view.
