SDP650 – USER MANUAL 5 TNM-U-E-0115 MENU SYSTEM This section details the operation of the menu system for the SDP650 Portable Radio. The SDP650 radio software uses a programmed menu structure to enable the operator to access the radio options. The structure of the menu can be configured using the FPP to meet a customer’s specific needs. In simple configurations, no menu can be programmed. An example menu structure for a radio is illustrated overleaf in Figure 8.
