1.2.3 Radio Programming Cable
A radio programming cable is required to configure the Control Station radio.
Note:
A programming cable connected to the front microphone connector on the Control Station radio may
prevent communications to a RadioPro IP Gateway from the Rear Accessory Connector.
Therefore, when a cable
is connected to the Rear Accessory Connector to connect a RadioPro IP Gateway or a PC (during
programming), ensure that the programming cable has been disconnected from the front microphone
connector.
