I would suggest you ask the seller for support.

And please don't keep opening new topics with the same question.

If using Lady Heather, check the docs.  http://www.ke5fx.com/heather/heather.pdf (http://www.ke5fx.com/heather/heather.pdf)
You can use !U to send commands to the receiver.  Or use !T to enter a built in terminal emulator direct communications.
You can also do this at startup from the heather.cfg file using the @ keyboard scripting command.

Alternatively, use another terminal program (I like PuTTY and RealTerm) to send the necessary commands ($UTC+n & $TZLCL), disconnect the serial port in that app, and then start Lady Heather.  You'll probably need to resend the commands if you restart the device, unless it remembers the settings.
