d. Enter Tilt Channels (yes)
3. Edit Channel Parameters
Enable or disable channels appropriately
Enter tilt channels, sweep channels and/or scrambled channels
Enter the type of channel
(CW = Single, TV, Dual, Digital, Sweep Insertion Point)
TIP: When making labels, the up and down diamond keys
can be used to access special symbols.
To get to a certain channel quicker than scrolling, go to the
"Level" mode, type in the channel number, than go back to
"Edit Channel Plan."
NOTE: Do not delete unused channels until sweep points
are made. If all disabled channels are deleted, there will be
no sweep points made.
Build Sweep Points (Configure; Channel Plan; Build Sweep Points)
This is an option on the Tx only. Sweep insertion points are for vacant
bandwidth and channels which are disabled to allow sweeping of the entire
spectrum. The default is ch. 2 to 1 GHz for the sweep, but sweep points can
be inserted anywhere between 5 MHz and 1 GHz. Sweep insertion points
are not automatically inserted in the FM band. You must do this manually if
required.
Build insertion points for disabled channels; 2 is the default, 1 is sufficient in
most cases. Sweep points are approximately 2.8 ms in duration and
approximately 100 kHz wide.
NOTE: Ensure that no sweep insertion points are built
within 6 MHz of either side of the ALC frequency. This
could cause problems with the ALC circuitry in certain
amplifiers.
Sweep Transceiver (Configure; Sweep Transceiver)
Forward Telemetry Frequency must be in the vacant spectrum and at least
500 kHz from any other carrier; must also be within the bandwidth of the
