will do the same thing. There! You just entered the frequency for
your first CONV object.
By default, your new CONV object will be tagged “Channel”. If
youd like to change this, just scroll the screen down one click
until the flashing cursor highlights the Tag: field, then press
SEL
to edit the tag. You can move the cursor around using the
keys on the 5-way pushbutton pad, use the
CLR key to clear the
old text, or press
FUNC CLR to erase the entire field. To enter
text, find the letter you want to enter on the front panel of the
radio, press the numeric key beneath it, then press 1, 2, 3, or 4
depending on the position of the letter in the group for that
number. For example, to enter FIRE, press:
3 3 F
4 3 I
7 3 R
3 2 E
Press the ENT key or DONE softkey to store the new tag
information for your CONV object.
Now you are ready to store your first CONV object. There are
other parameters that you can change, and we invite you to
scroll through the CONV menu to see the other settings that are
available. You can experiment with the different settings. If you
make a change that you arent certain about, press the Dflt
softkey to restore the setting to its original values.
When youre ready, simply press the Save softkey to save your
new conventional object. Once the object is saved, you can
continue to enter other new objects, or press
MAN to listen to the
CONV object you just entered, or
SCAN to start scanning!
NOTE: Your scanner uses Scan Lists as a way to group objects together
according to your preferences for scanning. By default, all new
objects are mapped to Scan List 01. There are a total of twenty
regular Scan Lists in your radio, a special Favorites Scan List, and a
Scan List to hold Skywarn objects. Scan List membership for an
object is assigned in the individual object menus. For now, just let
your new objects go to the default Scan List 01. Later in this section
we will show you how you can group your objects into Scan Lists.
NOTE: When entering data into a numerical field, you can start typing as
soon as you have scrolled to the desired field, which will replace the
