ICOM F2100D Programming

[KO4NCC]

I'm searching for help understanding the programming of my F2100D Icom NXDN radio. I'm totally new to the LMR world and have significant challenges understanding the structure of the settings file.

I don't have the F2100D, but I do have an F3400DT and I would assume the programming software is somewhat similar.

What I found is you may need to setup a zone first (if they exist for the 2100D), then program a channel(s). To enter a channel or change anything else on the line, you need to double click on the RX frequency and enter one in. THEN, you can modify anything else on that line.

To copy a line, you right click on the RX frequency cell, and select copy, then right click on the next line's RX cell, and select paste. Then modify the new line as needed.

Not sure if this is your issue, but once I figured out the "secret" to entering channels, everything went smooth.

Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, the interface was challenging me somewhat. You're hints really helped and I found others to add entries in the tables and then move them up in the table. That helped with me being able to get things in an order that made sense to me.

I totally new to NXDN and the digital portion is a challenge. Currently, the local repeater is not operational yet so that doesn't help matters.

The other puzzling thing is there are many options available to program to the P0 - P3 keys. But in the real time there is no way to access the options easily from the keypad.

I'll get it sooner or later.
