Identification Tab
Connecting to the radio displays the ADLCONF Identification screen :
This screen shows the current configuration of the attached radio:
• Model Name
• Firmware Version
• Radio Type (“Transceiver” or “Receiver Only”)
• Product Serial Number (an 8-digit number where the first two digits are the year
of manufacture, the next two digits are the week of manufacture and the last four
digits are incremented from 0001)
• Frequency Range
You cannot edit these fields.
The Identification screen also enables you to enter a call sign, owner name, and
configuration ID.
For operating in the USA, the FCC requires that radio transmitters periodically broadcast
a station identifier every 15 minutes. The station identifier is the call sign assigned to
USA operators on their station license. The call sign is transmitted in Morse code. It is
not included in any data packet and so is ignored by the receiving radio. However, data
transmission is interrupted for a few seconds while the call sign is being transmitted. If
you leave the call sign field blank, a radio programmed with this configuration file will not
transmit any call sign. If you are operating outside the USA, ask your local authority if you
need to transmit a call sign.
The Configuration ID field is a user-friendly way to identify which configuration has been
loaded into the radio. It can be different from the *.dat filename used when exporting
(saving) the configuration using the File / Export function.
