Priority Mode
Priority mode allows faster access to frequently used channels. Up to 15 of the channel
frequencies that are available in Normal mode can be programmed into the priority list.
Scan Mode
If scan mode is selected, the radio scans a number of predefined channels searching
for a ‘busy’ one. When a busy channel is found, and depending on the programmed
options, the radio remains tuned to that channel. Up to 15 scan groups can be set up,
each group containing up to 15 channel frequencies.
Programming the Transceiver's Personality
The radio's ‘personality’ is programmed into its internal memory and defines up to
760 channel frequencies, the required operating modes, and various secondary
options. When a T6M is received from PAE, the personality is either:
q
A personality programmed to the user's specific requirements.
or,
q
A default personality that covers the 760 channels (25 kHz spaced) available in
the VHF aeronautical frequency band. No frequencies are allocated to the
Priority list, and no scan groups are set.
A programming kit is available from PAE. This allows a new personality to be
programmed into the radio at any time.
The kit comprises software loaded on a CD-ROM or floppy disk, and a programming
lead. An IBM™ compatible laptop, or Personal Computer (PC) running Microsoft
Windows™ 95 or 98 must be available to reprogramme the radio.
To order the programming kit, contact PAE quoting part number 70-T6MPMKIT.
