**Channel Settings** (as described on this page) should not be confused with [Modem Preset Settings](/docs/settings/config/lora#modem-preset)
[LoRa Radio Settings](/docs/settings/config/lora) contain the modem configuration (frequency settings, spreading factor, bandwidth, etc.) used for the radio. These settings are identical for all channels and can *not* be unique per channel. Radio settings are directly applied to the Primary channel from which all Secondary channels derive their radio settings.

**Channel Settings** contain information for segregating message groups, configuring optional encryption, and enabling or disabling messaging over internet gateways. These settings *are* unique and configurable per channel.
