Channel Name: The name of the selected channel is shown in the Channel Name window. The channel
name can be changed by overwriting the existing name in the window. The name is limited to 8 characters
in length.
Channel Number: The channel number is displayed in the Channel Number window. When a channel is
created with the Add command, a sequential default channel number appears here and may be edited. The
channel number of established channels may not be edited.
Channel Type

used to transmit and receive voice messages. A Scan Channel holds a list of Fixed Channels through
which the radio will scan in receive mode. The channel type is selected by clicking the “Fixed” or “Scan”
radio button in the “Channel Type” box.
