Do you also have a RIB and the proper RIB to radio cable, and an appropriately slow computer to run the software on?

When you are in the conventional mode viewing mode, you go to the mode you want to delete. At the
bottom of the screen, you should have an F8 mode selection. At the top of the screen is a line that says
"UTILITY". Arrow up or down till you get to the "delete mode" selection. Hit return and you get to the bottom
line that says "mode to deleate". Enter in the mode number you want to get rid of. Then at the bottom of
the screen is the F8 "execute" selection. Press F8 to make that mode go away.

Repeat this for as many modes (channels) that you want to remove from the radio.
