4.2 Get started

[4 Help]-[4.2 Get started]

1)	Welcome to the CE47 programming software for the Vertex VX-2500/3200/420A Transceiver.

The VX-2500/3200/420A radio has numerous features and the FVP-25 option unit is available. Please take a few minutes to read all of the Help - Get Started files to gain a basic understanding of these features and options.

(2)	Review the software configuration settings under Files - Configure. Select this item as appropriate for your COM port which connect the VPL-1 programming cable connection.

(3)	Before you attempt to write any programming data, it is usually necessary to upload (read) the programming file from the radio. This upload will pre-set necessary configuration items, such as frequency band and optional keypad settings, correctly for this radio, and it will allow the programmer access into the necessary areas of the software to program option-specific items. To upload from the radio:

-	Connect the VPL-1 programming cable between your 9-pin COM port and the Microphone jack on the VX-2500/3200/420A.

-	Open "Radio" from the pull-down menus and select "Read from Radio".

-	Follow the instructions given on the screen. When the "read" is in progress, the radio's display will read "PC-PROG", and the computer screen will display a count-up bar graph during the "read" function.

-	Wait a few seconds until the software completes the upload process.
