Reception of VOR Signals
When the
FTA-750L/FTA-550
receive a VOR (VHF
omnidirectional range) signal, the display will automati-
cally switch to the NAV band screen which shows a
CDI (course deviation indicator) based on the received
signal, and “
VOR
”, which indicates that the
FTA-750L/
FTA-550
are receiving the VOR signal, appears on the
display.

The OBS is set to 0 degree when you use the
FTA-
750L/FTA-550
for the first time.
The last value you have set as the OBS will be dis-
played next time the NAV band screen appears.
The upside of the compass rose always indicates the
direction set as the OBS.
When the OBS is set to a degree within the “TO”
range relative to the VOR signal, the
FTA-750L/
FTA-550
displays a degree adding (or subtracting)
180° to (or from) the VOR signal as the VOR value.
The SOG is displayed only when the internal GPS
unit is activated and receives a fix in the
FTA-750L
.
Note
:
You may change the COM band receive frequency while
receiving a VOR signal. If the [
ENT
] key is pressed
during the tag name of the VOR station is selected, the
recall screen listing the frequencies you have used will
temporarily appear on the display, so that you may se-
lect a frequency from the list with the [
◄
] or [
►
] key or
change the frequency with the
DIAL
selector knob.
