Enabled Features

The Enabled Features section of Radio Setup allows you to configure the Global settings for which tabs are visible in the Radio Setup and Model Settings area of EdgeTX. The configuration setting for the active model will show to the right of the checkbox. The model configuration will override the global configuration (which will be indicated by the "Off" and "On" shown next to any model level overrides).

Note: Turning off a tab only hides the tab and does not change the items already configured in that tab.

EXCEPTION: Turning off the Global / Special Functions tab will disable configured global / special functions for that model.

Pressing the [PAGE>] button will take you to the Global Functions screen.

Note: In order for the variometer to function, it must be turned on via the Vario special or global function. See for more information on how to configure this.
