Figure 20 – Freewave radio detected
The desired radio channel the user gets to choose should be a value between 0 and 3824. Note that invalid
entries (smaller than 0 or larger than 3824) will be set to 0 or 3824 (respectively). When no channel is
entered, the latest valid channel is used.
NOTE: The Frequency Key on the radio is computed from the channel number. As the Frequency Key
"0x0E" may not be used in Australia, when the selected country is Australia, the software checks that the
Frequency Key matching the chosen channel number is acceptable. If the channel number is such that
Frequency Key "E" would be used, the software will reject the channel number entry and display the warning
on Figure 12. The user can only enter a channel number which will not result in using Frequency Key "E".
