NOTE: GRE provides Memory File Format, CCDump Protocol, PC/IF Clone Protocol and Remote Control

Protocol Specifications (the "Specifications") AS IS for the convenience of scanning hobbyists and

programmers who wish to develop software applications for use with the PSR-410. Use of the

Specifications shall be AT YOUR OWN RISK. GRE does not provide Memory File Format, CCDump

Protocol, PC/IF Clone Protocol and Remote Control Protocol technical support. Should you require

on the Internet. By using the Specifications, you agree to these terms.

The PSR-410 includes a simple remote control interface protocol (RCIP) that is suitable for use with a PC

application designed to provide a remote control and display capability. The ideal PC application should

provide a means by which a user can interact with a visual representation of the scanner's keypad and

display.

Remote Control Mode is active at all times, and does not require that the radio be placed in any special

remote mode in order for it to be used.

The basic remote control command/response format is as follows:

where:

<STX> is an ASCII “Start of Text” symbol (0x02)

<msgCode> is the code that represents the command or response message type

<msgData> is the data that accompanies a command or a response

<ETX> is an ASCII “End of Text” symbol (0x03)

<sum> is the sum of all bytes before sum but not including <STX>, and is sent with every command and

response for error checking.

The following commands are supported in the RCIP:
