As far as I know, this is not an option.

I will try to get a 100% definite answer though.

Did you get it yet?

I will do them ASAP. I will start with how to program as a 3p switch if that is what most of you are going to be looking for.

I hate to be the one to ask and yes I read the entire post, but Im totally retarded when it comes to radios:

This will work for winchs right? The third channel end points can be "endless", or is that what the 100 steps in both directions is for?

Sweet! About time!!

I was hoping for at least 2-aux (up to 4) On/off Channels for lights and winches, but hay, it's a start!

4PK or 6EX

Harley · 09-02-2009, 07:00 PM

OK video is shot on how to program the radio. I will get it edited and uploaded soon. I am working on the text instructions now as well.

Harley · 09-02-2009, 07:07 PM

Programming the 3PM-MX for a 3 Position switch.

Hold the SEL button while switching the radio on.
Use the SEL button to scroll to DT1 with FNC in the top right corner (not STP)
If you want to use the DT1 skip to the next step. If you want to use DT2,3 or 4 than use the CH button to switch to these buttons.
Use the +/- to change the value to 3C (so it will read DT1-3C)
Now use the SEL button to scroll to DT1 with STP in the top right corner
If you want to use the DT1 skip to the next step. If you want to use DT2,3 or 4 than use the CH button to switch to these buttons.
Use the +/- to change the numerical value until is says 3p (standing for 3 position).

THATS IT!!!

Any questions just ask. I will also have the video posted ASAP.
