Dual head conversion

Post by GlennD »

I remember someone telling the group about a hidden command to set the address of an XTL control head for dual head use.

I can not find the instructions through search. Does anyone remember the steps?

Thanks, Glenn

From the CPS help file:

The Front Panel Programming (FPP) mode allows you to define which control head in a Multi Control Head setup becomes Control Head Number 1, Control Head Number 2, Control Head Number 3, and Control Head Number 4.

To Enter FPP mode do the following:

With the radio powered-off, press and hold the left menu button and the orange button simultaneously, while continuing to depress these two buttons press the power button to power-on the radio and the control head. The radio and the control head will power-on into the FPP mode.

ETA: Who said you couldn't FPP an XTL? jk. :lol:
