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.
