Hello all I have a question about the buttons and Memory channels on a CM300. The local rescue squad wants to have 3 channels assigned to the buttons. I have P1 set to Revert Memory Channel 1 which is their Dispatch channel. I have P2 set to Revert Channel 2 which is the Hospital channel and they would like P3 or P4 to bring up their TAC channel. I have looked all over the net and in the help. Is there any way to do what they want. I told them I was not sure but did not think so. Thanks for any help given.

Re: CM300 Memory Channel Help
We talked about doing that for our Highway Department when I set up the programming for all their new CM-300's. But, like you, I did not find any way to add a third channel to the programmable buttons.
I don't think it's doable, but would like to hear from others on the issue.

Re: CM300 Memory Channel Help
Other than adding a small external box with three buttons and some simple logic to drive the accessory connector's channel steering lines there's no way to add a third memory channel that I'm aware of.

Re: CM300 Memory Channel Help
I don't know this radio very well but is there a way to make one of the channels assigned to a home button to go to ch1 then ch2 and ch3 to the regular buttons?

Re: CM300 Memory Channel Help
I thought of that possibility too, Jeff. But there's no 'home' option available on the CM series like there is with the CDM series.

Re: CM300 Memory Channel Help
not too familiar with the CM300s, but can you have button 3 change a digital out, have a digital in set up for channel steering to 3rd channel, and bridge them?
