PROGRAM SEARCH BANKS
You may wish to specify your own frequency limits or
modes for program search banks. There are 20 program
search banks in total 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08,
09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 & 19.
Example of reprogramming a search bank - “

Let’s assume that you wish to reprogram the data contents
of search bank “

”: 433.000 to 433.6000 MHz, mode to
NFM, 15kHz I.F. bandwidth, 25 kHz tuning steps,
step-adjust off and comment to 70CM.
Note: The attenuator and aerial selection is made while
program search is in operation and is not programmed
into the stored data, this greatly increases the versatility
when in live use !
To make things easier for this example, first delete the
existing data.
Press
to place the receiver in a known state of
operation.
Press
then press the
key for more than one
second to access the DELETE menu. Press the
key three times to access the “

Rotate the
SUB DIAL
until “BANK

” is displayed on the
right of the LCD.
If data is already programmed into this bank the legend “*
*” will be displayed, if no data is present the legend “- -”
will be displayed.
Assuming that data is present, press the
key
to delete the contents, after about one or two seconds
delay the legend will change to “- -” to confirm deletion.
Press
to complete the sequence and return to VFO
mode.
To start programming select the data input menu by
pressing
Select the required bank by rotating the
SUB DIAL
, until
“BANK

be displayed, if data was present the upper (“

”) and
lower (“
