I am hoping some of you with the experience will give me any helpful tips on modifying the programming of a 20-channel VHF M1225.
I recently bought the radio from someone on eBay. He "threw in" the programming. I now find I'd like to modify it a little here and there. I purchased the RSS version 4 software (same version the seller used), and I ordered a ribless serial-to-RJ45 cable (which should arrive next week).
After installing the software and checking out the programming options, I think all I have to do is first 'READ' the radio, and then create a file with the data. Is that right? (The required codeplug including the radio's serial number is a new concept for me.)
Once I have the data file, I plan to copy it, rename the copy, and then change and manipulate the settings in that file. Then program the radio with that file ... is that all there is to it?
Are there any common pitfalls, mistakes, things to avoid, etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
