First there are two different software packages. The CE52 does the VX2500U/VX3200. The CE47 does
the 2500U(A), (C), (D), (F) models. Assuming you have the correct software the next step is to
determine whether you need the radio on before you try to read from it, or the radio needs to be off and
then turned on for reading. I don't recall which method works with the VX-2500U. Start up the software and
select "Radio".On the drop down menu select "Read". If you get a "time out" or other error message during
the read process, try the other method. Which ever one works you should see some sort of progress bar as
the radio is read.After reading its basically a matter of clicking on the column you want to change and using the
space bar to run thru the selections for that column. You can select or deselect a channel by
clicking on the channel number and hitting the space bar. Grey-out means radio skips this channel,
hit space bar again and channel is in active list.
Note if you have just one channel programmed and you want to add a channel(s), select "Group"
from the main menu and select "Channel allocations..." You can then type in the number of channels
you want in Group 1 (or 2 etc.). The drop down "Help" menu will give you more information on each
selection. When finished, select "Radio" and click "Send to Radio." Hope this helps to get you
started.
