CPDR: Reads the power in Watts after the compander. If it is not enabled, it reads the same as
Comp.
ALC: Reads the power in Watts after the ALC.
ALC Comp: Reads the gain in dB applied by the ALC algorithm. The gain is always <=0 in dB.
The minus sign is implicit.
Off: Used for debugging purposes or to save CPU cycles on slower machines.
(5) Band Selection & Band Stacking Memories
Figure 30: Band Selection
The Band Selection controls perform multiple roles on this radio. First, when tuning the VFO to a specific
frequency the band indicator will move to the appropriate band (GEN if not in one of the specific bands
listed). This is used to quickly identify which band you are in, or when you are stepping over a band edge
boundary.
The second role is a feature called Band Stacking Memories. A single memory is defined as a frequency,
mode, and filter combination. Each band has several memories associated with it. Clicking on a band button
repeatedly will cycle through the available memories repeating from the beginning after the last memory
(hence the stacking memories). This is useful to quickly tune to various frequencies within a band. To
replace one of the memories with the frequency, mode, and filter of your choice, first click the band button
for the band memory you would like to modify. Then change the frequency, mode, and filter to the desired
settings (the frequency must be in the band selected). Finally click the band button again to save the values.
Note that some band memory frequencies (such as 60m and WWV) are fixed in software and cannot be
changed. The modified memories will be saved to the database upon graceful exit of the console. A crash
will prevent changed memories from being saved in order to keep faulty data from making it into the
database.
Note that the VHF+ button will swap between the typical HF bands and any configured transverters (see the
XVTRs Form in chapter 10). The VHF band buttons work in the same way, but for the frequencies within
the transverter frequency range.
