Explanation.

*If you set ANY Static Talk Groups on Slot 1 or 2, YOU CAN not use it via Dial-a-TG.
Static Talk Group must be used via a Channel in your radio and not via Dial-a-TG.
Example:- If you set TG 2350 as Static, you can not use Dial-a-TG to talk on 2350.

TS1=235,2352;
Set Static Talk Groups you want on Slot 1.  Separate each Talk Group with a comma.
You can not have the same Talk Group set as static on Slot 1 or Slot 2.
At the end of each section, you need a Semicolon.

TS2=2350,2351;
Set Static Talk Groups you want on Slot 2.  Separate each Talk Group with a comma.
You can not have the same Talk Group set as static on Slot 1 or Slot 2.
At the end of each section, you need a Semicolon.

DIAL=2350;    *see above
0=None. Set default Enhanced Talk Groups (Dial-a-TG) TG9 Slot 2.  Only One Talk Group can be entered in this section.
You can not have the same Talk Group set as static on Slot 1 or Slot 2.
At the end of each section, you need a Semicolon.

TIMER=10;
Time a Talk Group is held active for.  Pressing your PTT on a Talk Group reset this timer.  You select any number of minutes you like here.  But the recommended time is 10 or 5 mins.
If you wanted, you could also use    TIMER=1440    that will hold it for 24hrs.
It is down to you what timer best meets your needs.
If setting more than two static to a slot, you might wish to set Timer to  1 or 2 min.
At the end of each section, you need a Semicolon.

VOICE=0;
0=OFF  1=ON.  15 minute Voice Ident can be set ON or OFF on Time Slot 2.
Radios will RX from the network, “This is CALL-SIGN FreeDMR. ”
At the end of each section, you need a Semicolon.

SINGLE=1;
Turn off Single Mode. Network default is ON.  0=OFF  1=ON.
At the end of each section, you need a Semicolon.

LANG=en_GB;
Set the Language, the VOICE comes back to you as.
At the end of each section, you need a Semicolon.

Each section is separated with a Semicolon. “Does not matter what order the above codes are in“.
