Install the Sharpfin base to enable shell access to your radio, follow this tutorial:
http://www.sharpfin.org/sharpfin/images/7/7b/PatchingTheRecivaRadio.pdf

Identify the Hardware ID of your radio by navigating through the radio's menu as follows: '''Configure > Version > Hardware ID'''

Ensure you have a relatively recent version of firmware installed on your radio. This procedure has been tested with v257-a-865-a-476 firmware:

Now complete the following steps to change the configuration file:

If you are using Windows, log into the radio (Start / Run / then type '''CMD''' / type '''TELNET''') :

Now type in:
'''open 192.168.x.x''' (this is your radio's IP address)

Enter user & password = “admin” when prompted.

Now move into the folder /root/hwconfig by entering:
'''cd hwconfig'''

Make a backup of your radio's configuration file (The XXXX is the Hardware Id, which you can find in 'Configure / Version / Hardware ID') :
'''cp configXXXX.TXT configXXXX_backup.TXT'''

Issue this command to unprotect the partition:
'''mount / -orw,remount'''

Now use vi editor to open the configXXXX.txt file:
'''vi configXXXX.txt'''

To enter Insert mode, press:
'''i'''

Add these lines to the end of the file, if they aren't present:

# Infrared Remote related modules
LIRC Module: /root/lirc_dev.o
LIRC Module: lirc_barracuda

/!\ /!\ /!\ Double Check your edits /!\ /!\ /!\

Hit <ESC> to leave Insert Mode and enter Command mode

To write current file (if you are sure and wish to save it), type in:
''':w<ENTER>'''

To exit '''vi''' editor:
''':q!<ENTER>'''

Now move into the folder where the lircd files are stored by typing:
'''cd /etc/config'''

Create a new lircd_config file for your radio, where XXXX is the Hardware ID of your radio:
'''cp lircd_config825.conf lircd_configXXXX.conf'''

Finally, Write protect the drive
'''sync;mount / -oro,remount'''

Reboot the radio
