3.3.8Program the Radio-Wide Features First

After the MTX8000 radio's codeplug data is read, and the TCMS file is merged, the RSS allows us to access the CHANGE/VIEW menu. From here we can program the features that are unique to each system or personality and the ones that are common to all. 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.
