[DFTB-Plus-User] How to run a organic radical cation

Dear DFTB+ members,

I'm interested in doing some SCC calculations on an organic molecule in a
radical cation state. In pure QM software, I'd set the charge to 1 and
multiplicity to 2. What options should I set to model this since there is
no multiplicity keyword? I found this answer
<https://mailman.zfn.uni-bremen.de/pipermail/dftb-plus-user/2012/000913.html>
referring to the SpinPolarisation option, which also needs SpinConstants,
but I don't know what values to use.

Additionally, is there a way to constrain the charge to a specified
molecular fragment?, as I note that other programs support this.

Best regards,
Francisco.
