I was able to load the frequencies in, but I only had 8 spaces for channels and I couldn't step to the second mode. All I could do was enter 8 frequencies and that was it. Am I doing something wrong? I'm not very well versed in this older software. Does anyone have a better software version for conventional M-PA, or any advise for what I'm doing wrong?
