This controller makes your radios close to reality. It offers the following features:
- Watch Mode (including priority channel)
- Scan Mode
- Backlight

-= Please do not reupload this controller =-

Channels:
You can change the channels with two pushbuttons, the active channel will be shown in the center of the screen. A distress and priority channel can be defined in the properties.

Frequencies:

The frequencies the controller shows up are just for show and have no meaning. The channel number is the communication number. You can find a more accurate version which use the frequencies and has duplex support also in my workshop.

Signal Strength:
The signal strength of broadcasts will be shown in the top right corner (1 to 4 bars) If you don't connect the signal strength input (small antenna) scanmode isn't working as intended.

Watch mode:
This mode monitors priority channels and the currently selected channel. There are two types of watchmode:
• Dual watch - This mode monitors distress channel and the currently selected channel.
• Triple watch - This mode monitors distress channel, the second priority channel and the currently selected one.
You can enter/leave the watch mode by pressing the mode-pushbutton.

Scan mode:
Scan mode enables automatic searching for channels that are currently broadcasting. Scan mode will search through available channels and stop when it finds a channel that is currently broadcasting. If the broadcast stops or is lost for more than 5 seconds then the scan will resume. When the scan reaches the last channel in the band the scan cycle is repeated. The following scans options are available:
• All - All channels are scanned in sequence.
• All+Distress - All channels are scanned, after each channel is scanned the distress channel is scanned.
You can enter the scan mode by pressing the mode-pushbutton for 3 seconds.

Controls:
composite inputs #1 and #2 change the channel
composite input #3 enables the watch mode (short press) and the scan mode (long press)
composite input #4 enables the controller.
composite input #5 turns on the backlight (tints the background in the color defined in the properties as RRGGBB-value).
