  <title>The Graphical User Interface</title>
</info>
  
<para>
  This chapter describes the graphical user interface (<acronym>GUI</acronym>) in some detail. 
</para>

<note>
  <para>
    <application>qdmr</application> aims at being a device and manufacturer independent CPS. To this 
    end, the GUI reflects a device independent code plug. This means, that not all of the shown 
    features are present in all radios. For example, not all supported devices implement APRS or 
    roaming. These settings are then ignored when generating the device specific binary code plug.
  </para>  

  <para>
    Some radios provide settings, that are important but also specific to a single model or family
    of models. <application>qdmr</application> aims at supporting these settings through so-called 
    extensions. These extensions can be attached to all elements of a codeplug. For example to 
    channels, contacts, zones, etc.
