LOADING AND SAVING THE CHANNEL CONFIGURATION

It is recommended that you save separate channel configs for common tasks and vehicles.

However, you do not need to save your channel configuration every time you make a change. VCM Scanner will remember all the changes you make and reload them next time you open VCM Scanner.
