(i) The configuration program supports COM1 through Serial Number This unique number is predetermined by the manufacturer. (ii) Serial Baud Rate This is the baud rate the data radio uses to talk to a PC or external device. The default is 9600 bits/second. Drop-down settings allow standard baud rates from 2400 to 57600 bps.

(ix) TX Assert The volume or amount of time the transmitting radio will collect or wait before it transmits. Default is 10 mS. (x) CD Level Carrier Detect level. Lets the scanning radio determine if there’s a valid signal to receive. This is a factory alignment setting.
