The
TUNE
switch works the same way as the
DIGIT
switch. When you press
up on the
TUNE
switch, the SLEWUP line is grounded through the
TUNE
switch center conductor. This signal in normally pulled high (+5V) on the
Processor board. The processor reads the low line level at U14 on the
Processor board and increments the display on the Display board to the next
frequency digit, channel number, or option menu item. When you press down
on the
DIGIT
switch, the SLEWDN line is grounded, the processor reads the
change and decrements the display to the next frequency digit, channel
number, or option menu item.
