Modem Configuration tab
The Modem configuration tab has four basic functions:
 Provide a Graphical User Interface with a radio’s firmware
 Read and Write firmware to the radio’s microcontroller
 Download updated firmware files from either the web or from a
compressed file
 Saving or loading a modem profile
