Spectrum scanning with the receiver itself is the best
way to find clear operating frequencies, since it will
reveal all RF signals present in the receiver, including
thosegeneratedbyIM(intermodulation).
Navigate to the Setup Scan screen and press the Sel
button to start the scanner. The display will switch to the
SCANWINDOWandstartscanningimmediately.Allow
the receiver to scan.
Scroll through the screen and find a frequency where
no RF signals (or in the worst case, only very weak RF
signals) are present. With the cursor on this frequency,
simultaneously press the Sel Up, Down and Sel buttons
to leave the scan mode.
Data gathered during a scan is stored until it is inten-
tionally erased or the power is turned off. Previous
data will remain and subsequent scans can be made
to search for additional signals or to accumulate higher
peaks.
To stop scanning, press the Sel button once. The scan-
ning will stop immediately, and the display will switch to
theVIEWwindow.PressingtheUPorDOWNbuttons
will scroll the cursor coarsely across the tuning range.
The transmitter switch settings matching the frequency
indicated by the cursor are shown in the upper right
corner of the screen.
