Changing a
Frequency
You can change a displayed frequency by pressing
F
and using the up arrow
button to increase the frequency and the down arrow button to decrease the
frequency. Press
E
to store the new frequency in channel memory.
Note:
The default frequency increment is 100 Hz for scrolling. To change this
increment, access
ALPHA 25
.
Using the Manual
Channel
The manual channel allows you to create frequencies without worrying about
overwriting a frequency on another channel. This channel is defined as
channel 000. Frequency settings on the manual channel can be copied to a
fixed channel.
To copy the channel 000 data to another channel:
1. Press
C
and enter the 3-digit channel number to indicate where data is
stored.
2. Press
C
and
E
. This copies data from the manual channel to the new
channel. Data is retained in the manual channel.
Scanning (for TA/TC only)
Scan groups are arranged in the RT7000 according to number. You can have
up to 32 different scan groups in the transceiver at one time, each one having a
different scan group number. Each scan group can have up to 64 channels.
Because the RT7000 scans channels not frequencies, you must give all desired
frequencies in a particular scan group a channel number. Channel numbers are
not exclusive to a particular scan group; the same channel can be used in
different scan groups.
Selecting a Scan
Group
1. Do one of the following:
•
If ALE is

flashing or select

2. Use the arrows to scroll to the desired scan group number, or use the
keypad to enter the scan group number.
3. Press
E
. The display briefly indicates the new scan group. That group is
automatically saved in memory.
Display:
SCAN GRP xxx
(where xxx is the new scan group)
This becomes the specified scan group when using menu functions.
