Those seem to all be the defaults. (Except I show 180 LQA Timeout,
and the 0 is half cut off.)
I also have lots of other options on that window. Do you have
something like "Current Group" "_A _B _C....." and
"Enable/Disable" "_Sounding _Polling _LQA _Allcalls _Anycalls....."?


Also, it doesn't have my receiver type, but I don't think
that should matter much, especially if I am not transmitting.

I doubt that the "Current Group" area is the problem. Any frequency
you plug in is going to be placed in some group or other, and when the
receiver is scanning it will scan all of the groups.


I have the following "enabled":


Allcalls
Anycalls
Display Sounds
Listen Calls
Freq display
Voice detect


These may have been defaults...I can't recall now.


I'm surprised that there's no place where it says "Radio Type". On
mine, this appears in the upper right hand corner of the configuration/
options screen. When you click on it, there's a drop down menu that
includes a bunch of receivers.


Mine does have "Radio Type". But under that it doesn't
have TS-440. It has TS-850 but I think the protocol for
the TS-850 is different.

Mine didn't default to Allcalls, Anycalls, Listen Calls,
or Voice Detect. I clicked them. That didn't change
things. Then I turned everything on. It crashed.
I unclicked "Sounding". Then I got something.

Cool. But what does it mean?

I think that this page is useful, as it says a few things about how to
interpret this info:

ALE is a world unto itself, though. Not sure it's my cup of tea, but
I'm trying to feel it out.
