Local Operation File Upload

The File Upload option will allow the import of
an OMNI File, Frequency File or a Config file.

The Config file can be one generated with the Backup

Device option or manually via CLI.

File Naming Rules:

The file names must contain only Letter, Numbers,
Underscores, Dashes, or periods.
File Names must also end with either .omni, .config or
begin with frequency.

IMPORTANT:
Uploading of an OMNI file typically requires a Commit
be performed first. This will duplicate the Active Bank
into the Backup Bank and will erase any settings or
OMNI/Frequency File in the Backup Bank.

If you are uploading a Frequency File and an

OMNI file only select the Perform a
