Is it possible to program the soft key P1 to revert to a home channel. I have the radio set on power up to default to my home channel. I would like to be able to just hit soft key instead of having to scroll thru the channels to get back to home channel.

@K2NEC Thank You I will keep trying to get it figured out.

I don't have my programming laptop with CPS in front of me, but from what I can find online and with AI help, this sounds about right:

1. Go to the button map
   • Radio Configuration → Buttons
   • Under Buttons, choose Front Panel Buttons (not Accessory or Control Head, unless you’re using a remote head).
2. Set P1 actions
   • You’ll see entries for:
     • P1 – Short Press
     • P1 – Long Press
     • (Sometimes) P1 – Double Press (depends on model/firmware)
   • Click the action you want and pick one of the following from the dropdown (wording varies slightly by CPS build/firmware, but the functions are the same):
     • Home Channel
     • Zone Home Channel
     • Revert Channel (a.k.a. Home Revert)
     • One‑Touch Call (can also force a specific Home/Revert behavior if the contact is tied to a particular channel)
3. Define the “Home” target (if needed)
   • Channels → Zones → Your Zone → set Home Channel for that zone.
     If no Home Channel is defined, the Home/Zone Home options won’t behave as expected.

OK so my above post is part correct.

I'm using CPS 2 138.245 so not much newer than yours.

Go to Configuration -> General -> Control Buttons
Assign your P1 button (either short or long) to One Touch Access 1.



Scroll down a bit to One Touch Access settings.
For One Touch Access 1, click in the field for Mode and change to Home Revert.
Then click in the field for Channel Zone and choose your preferred zone.
Then click in the field for Channel and choose your preferred channel.

Thank You. That done the trick.
