5. Memory LOCKOUT.
You can lockout a memory channel while in manual mode by first selecting the memory channel
then press LOCKOUT. Lockout is confirmed by a flashing ‘L.OUT’ on the display.
Later on (while in SCAN mode) you may no longer wish to listen to to a specific memory channel.
Press the LOCKOUT key to skip over the channel.
To reinstate the channel at a later date, unlock the channel in MANUAL made by keying in the
channel location and pressing LOCKOUT again. Lockout status is confirmed by a flashing ‘L.OUT
on the display.
6. Auxiliary (PRIORITY) Channel.
Any of the 1000 memory channels previously programmed may be used as the auxiliary (AUX).
When activated, the receiver will ‘pop over’ to the priority channel to check for activity regardiess of
the current displayed frequency or mode. The facility can be useful for keeping an eye on a distress
frequency while scanning another frequency band.
To select the desired memory location
MANUAL AUX PROG (memory bank and channel) ENTER
Example: Assume you wish to select memory bank 1 channel 25 as the auxiliary
MANUAL - AUX - PROG - 125 - ENTER
To activate the AUX function
Press MANUAL - AUX
The ‘AUX’ indicator appears on the front panel to confirm status.
To de-activate the AUX function repeat the process
Press MANUAL - AUX
Under some circumstances there may be a ‘click’ heard from the internal speaker while the priority
function is in use. This is normal and a product of the facility, it is NOT a fault.
Scan mode
Manually
changing
frequency
is
a
slow
process.
In
order
to
‘catch’
brief
bursts
of
communications
such
as
from
control
towers
to
aircraft
requires
a
faster
method
of
frequency
change.
For this reason and to increase pleasure of operation the memories may be automatically scanned
under
control
of
the
receiver's
microprocessor.
The
receiver
is
capable
of
scanning
many
memory
channels per second.
It is usually convenient to ‘group’ all similar frequencies together to enable their selection
independently from other programmed channels. For example you could store ALL VHF airband
frequencies in memory bank 1 instead of randomly throughout the 1000 memories.
