Basic operation

Frequency setting

There are various options for tuning the frequency.

Turning the scroll wheel when the mouse pointer is set within the spectrum or

waterfall will change the frequency of the active VFO corresponding to the scroll

direction. Tuning step can be set in the Scroll field.

By the left mouse button click onto a signal within the spectrum or waterfall the

according frequency is set. To tune on a station it is enough just to click on it and

fine-adjust with the scroll wheel.

Each digit in the frequency display can be changed individually by positioning the

mouse pointer and turning the scroll wheel, or by a click with the left mouse button

(a click above the digit increases the value, a click below the digit reduces it).

If you hold down the Ctrl key and rotate the mouse wheel in the spectrum or a

waterfall, or on one of the digits of the VFO frequency, then the change will not only

have effect on the VFO frequency, but on the center of the displayed bandwidth. If

in the Settings window the parameter "Inverse when CTRL key down" is set to Yes,

then the rotation of the mouse wheel in the spectrum, waterfall, or on one of the

digits of the VFO frequency is reversed, the VFO frequency and the center

frequency of the span will change synchronously then without pressing CTRL

A click on the active VFO button centers the actual frequency to the middle of the

spectrum.

Furthermore, the VFO frequency can be entered via the

keyboard. Therefor the VFO frequency has to be marked with

the right mouse button, the value has to be entered and the

"Enter" key has to be pressed. The frequency of the inactive

VFO in the field below may be altered in the same way.

For changing the frequency band, nine buttons with the amateur radio bands are

available. In each band the last chosen settings (the frequency within the band, the

modulation mode and the spectrum bandwidth) are stored.

With the horizontal slider at the bottom of the window the transceiver can be set

quickly to any frequency within the complete range.
