(OTHER) OTHER MENU
Figure 3-6 Other Menu
The Other menu is used for ORION
functions that do not fit into one of the other
menu categories.
Remote Pod F1
,
Remote Pod F2
, and
Remote Pod F3
refer to the control of radio
functions available via the F1, F2, and F3
buttons on the accessory model 302R
remote encoder/keypad available for
ORION. If you do not have the 302R
connected, they will have no function.
To scroll through the available choices for
each of
Remote Pod F1
,
Remote Pod F2
,
and
Remote Pod F3
, turn the MULTI knob.
VFO A/B
duplicates the function of the A/B
button on the front panel (see
(60) A>B,
B>A, A/B
in Chapter 2). This flips the two
frequencies shown, copying A to B and B to
A.
Step
duplicates the function of the STEP
button on the front panel (see
(31) STEP
in
Chapter 2). Unlike the front panel STEP
button, the step sizes available are selected
via repeat pushing of the F1, F2, or F3
button depending on which is being used.
The radio will cycle through the seven
available step sizes.
Mode
duplicates the function of the MODE
button on the front panel (see
(27) MODE
in
chapter 2). Unlike the front panel MODE
button, the step sizes available are selected
via repeat pushing of the F1, F2, or F3
button depending on which is being used.
The radio will cycle through the seven
available modes.
Sweep on/off
duplicates the function of the
SWEEP button on the front panel (see
(32)
SWEEP
in Chapter 2). The real-time
spectrum sweep on the main receiver can
be turned on and off.
USER 1
and
USER 2
are duplicates of the
front panel USER 1 and USER 2 buttons
(see
(21) USER 1
and
USER 2
in Chapter
2). These allow retrieval of the profile
memories that are stored in USER 1 and
USER 2.
Send 1
,
Send 2
, and
Send 3
are duplicates
of the SEND 1, SEND 2 and SEND 3
buttons found on the front of the ORION
(see
(20) SEND 1, SEND 2, SEND 3
in
chapter 2). They are used for sending
memory information stored in either the CW
keyer or voice memories.
VFO A Ent
and
VFO B Ent
allow direct
frequency entry off the keypad for either
VFO A or VFO B.
The
Rem Pod Enter
setting determines
where a band change from the keypad is
sent (VFO A or VFO B). The ten button
keypad on the 302R accessory duplicates
the band change keypad on the ORION
unless a function button has first been
pushed for direct frequency entry. Push “9”
to change to 40m, “7” to change to 160m,
etc. Note that the 302R buttons are not
arranged in the same numerical order as the
keypad on the ORION; it is the location of
the button in the matrix rather than the
number on the button on the 302R that
determines to what band the radio is
changed.
Menu Delay
is used to set the encoder
tuning rates and button responses while
using the menus.
Contrast
is used to determine the screen
contrast for either white/black or black/white
depending on which way the screen is
toggled. Default is 50%, maximum
readability is generally in the 50 to 60%
range.
VFO-A Enc Rate
and
VFO-B Enc Rate
have settings of “fast” and “slow”. Unlike
tuning STEP as set via the STEP button, the
Rate
controls are used to determine how
many steps per revolution of the two main
tuning knobs are made. The “fast” rate is 4x
the “slow” tuning rate
Like the main tuning knob rates,
CW RIT
Rate
and
SSB RIT Rate
are used to vary
