Configuration Menu

Upon  purchase  of  your  transceiver  some
settings  may  have  already  been  factory
installed  and  set  into  the  Eagle.    Optional
accessories  such  as  an  auto  tuner,  a  specific
additional  roofing  filter,  noise  blanker,  or
your favorite front display  color combination
will need to be programmed into the Eagle.

To begin configuring the Eagle, start with the
Eagle powered off, press the FNC button, and
hold  the  FNC  button  continuously  while
powering  up  the  Eagle.  When  the  Eagle  is
first shipped from the factory, the front panel
display  will  show  “F1  2.4”  which  indicates
the  factory  filter  has  been  installed.      Now
release  the  FNC  button.  To  select  a  different
value  for  a  given  Configuration  Menu  item,
use  the  MULTI  knob  to  scroll  through  the
choices. To advance to the next Configuration
Menu item,  press  the  FNC  button.    Once  the
settings in the Configuration Menu have been
set to the desired values, press any key on the
front panel except the FNC button to exit the
Configuration Menu.

The  items  contained  in  the  Configuration
Menu  and  their  options  are  shown  in  the
following table.
