Current Channel
Channel tables are lists of radio settings comprising:
• Channel numbers ( from 1 through 32)
• Frequencies at which the radio receives data on each channel
• Frequencies at which the radio transmits data on each channel (this may be
different from the receive frequencies)
• One channel bandwidth (25 kHz or 12.5 kHz) for all channels in the table
• An optional list of radio serial numbers that can read the channel table

using the ADLCONF software.

Note – Government regulations may require you to possess a valid license to transmit data
on certain radio frequencies. This version of the ADLCONF software does not let you create
channel tables. You must check with your dealer about obtaining frequency channel tables,
which meet your licensed authorized frequencies or other government regulations.

AUTOROVER1 option when you want the radio to automatically scan the entire channel
table and select the one with the strongest decodable signal. The AUTOROVER 1
option will perform one scan when the radio is turned on and will then reset the radio
