Factory reset question

I'm going to sell one of my two 6300s and want to reset it to factory. It is currently standing alone. Can I just add power, press the button until the blinking white light appears and let it do it's thing, or do I have to attach it back to a computer and set it back up again in order to do this right?  TNX.  Dave W6OVP.

    No need to connect to a computer. Your first described approach will reset the radio to factory defaults with whatever version of the firmware you installed last. Good luck with the sale.

    I find this very vague. Do you first bring up SmartSDR using the computer, and, then, initiate the reset with the power button?

    No to bringing up SmartSDR.

    This "Can I just add power, press the button until the blinking white light appears and let it do it's thing" will suffice.

    When you are ready to sell it, I might be interested depending on price and options.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
