   * If the radio doesn't seem to respond to the software it might be configured to use a keypad mic, or use the mic port for data. Turn the radio off, trigger the read or write within the software and immediately turn the radio on. It should then beep and reboot into programming mode. It can take a couple of attempts to get the timing right, and you will have to do it each time the radio is read or written to.
   * If you've got a radio that's already programmed, it's best to start with a fresh configuration rather than reading from the radio and making changes, to avoid buried settings causing problems later down the line. The programming application will start with a fresh factory default config each time its opened.
