| cies to the SMP. The 1st column of 10 |
| rows in Excel can be base TX frequen- |
| cies and the 2nd column of 10 rows can |
| be the RX frequencies. This 2 x 10 array |
| of numbers is then selected and copied to |
| the clip board. Now "Paste Frequencies" |
| may be used to paste the 2 x 10 array of |
| frequencies to the SMP. The frequencies |
| of the base stations read from the file |
| must be within the bands set for the |
| bases in the SMP. |
