Introduction
( Page purpose - separating out the content of the Configxxxx.txt file details from Changing Firmware page. Hopefully additional data can be added to this explaining the features in the config file, which features may be of benefit to which radio types, etc.. )
Process to edit configuration file
Even with the old firmwares, there are many features of radios which are disabled. to enable these features, you may not even have to upgrade the firmware, but you will have to be familiar with Linux Command Line and the editor 'vi'.
- Apply the sharpfin patch, see Enabling Login
- Log into the radio using telnet (user & password = admin)
- Look in /root or /root/hwconfig, depending on the current firmware version of your radio
- Find your configxxxx.txt file (The xxxx is the Hardware Id, which you can find in 'Configure / Version')
- Look in it and others in the same directory to work out what modifications you wish to make (such as enabling alarms)
- Issue the command 'mount / -orw,remount' to unprotect the partition
- Edit the configxxxx.txt file with 'vi configxxxx.txt'
- Double Check your edits
- Now treble check them!
- Write protect the drive with 'sync;mount / -oro,remount'
- Reboot the radio

Further notes and observations
This thread on the Reciva website has a few clues as to what may be possible to experiment with; changing the items on the display, a "history" function (anyone know what it does yet?), etc.
"history" function adds "My History" under "My Stuff" on my ir100 - it shows the most recent streams listened to.
Here is a screen shot from a display with changes to the configXXXX.txt file http://sharpfin.zevv.nl/images/1/14/LCD-menu.jpg
