skipped), even if they are strong signals� Therefore,
we recommend that you set the tuning step to 20 kHz

manual Section 3 for details on how to set the tuning
step�

frequency’s audio during a sweep� When “AF Output

momentarily output during a sweep, and you will know

the AF Output (DUAL/AIR Band) function� In that case,
