After the MT2000 radio's codeplug data is read, the RSS allows us to access the CHANGE/VIEW menu. From here we can program the features we want on each channel, and the ones we want common to all channels. First we'll program the common (radio-wide) features. Note that some screens are not accessed, leaving many parameters at factory default values, which are suitable in most cases.
