DM-1701 Two Zones On Main Screen ?

Post by MM6NRK » Fri May 26, 2023 1:09 am

Thanks very much for the fw to make this radio work alot better . I was one of the 1st in the uk to have a DM-1701 when there was noting online about how to set it up and write code plugs .
One thing thing i cant work out is how to have two zones on main screen ? Like a A & B zone .

If you mean Dual Watch , i.e 2 channels on the same screen. This is not currently supported for channels.
It is however supported on the VFO screen, i.e 2 Rx frequencies

I've never heard of a radio with 2 Zones on the main screen, i.e as a Zone contains multiple channels.

Yes. You can make a zone with 2 or more channels, which will give similar functionality, but not quite the same
