Option
Timed Transmission Option
The
TIMED TRANSMIT
parameter, together with the
TX PERIOD
and
STANDBY PERIOD
parameters, controls the radar’s timed transmission
power-saving mode.
When
TIMED TRANSMIT
is set to
ON
, the scanner performs the number of
scans specified by
TX PERIOD
and then shuts down for the number of min-
utes specified by
STANDBY PERIOD
. While it is shut down, the scanner does
not rotate, and the display is in stand-by.
Set the
TIMED TX
parameter to
OFF
for normal operation. In this case, the
TX PERIOD
and
STANDBY PERIOD
values are ignored.
Note:
Timed Transmission is not available on a Repeater Display.
Marks Options
You can select the mark symbol that will be used when you place a mark
(see
Section 4.3
).
If you turn the
MARK DISPLAY
option
OFF
, any marks you have placed are
hidden on the display, but retained in the marks database. You can turn the
option on again to display them at any time.
To clear all stored marks from the marks database, press the
CLEAR MARKS
soft key, and the
YES
soft key to confirm the deletion.
Custom Scale
You can set up your own range scale. When switched
ON
, this is used
instead of the Pathfinder Plus Radar default range scale (see
Section 3.2
).
To set up a scale, press the
SET RANGES
soft key. The Custom Range Setup
Menu is displayed, which allows you to change the maximum range for
each range selection.
The following table lists the ranges, shows the factory default setting, and
provides a space for you to make a note of your new setting.
