Good evening everyone, I have an ht1250 ls+ and under the option board tab I see simple decoder, simple option interface, advanced option interface. My question is, what exactly are the function of these option boards? And how would I know which ones are in my radio? I'm pretty good with waris cps but I guess I overlooked that item in cps. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't take this the wrong way, and I mean this in the nicest way possible. If you have to ask, you don't need to know it. But to answer part of your question, the option board interface allows the radio to function in different ways. The option board has a 9-pin D shell connector to control the radio, e.g. transmit/receive, channel - change and feedback about channel status e.g. the radio is receiving a valid
signal. The option board is connected to the radio via the internal 40 pin ZIF connector and a custom made flat cable.
The functionality and programming of these boards are not controlled in the CPS (unless modified) but through the board itself (but not having done this myself, this is a guess.) What i do know, is i haven't needed to go that deep into an HT. My HT1550 has the same selection available.
