  Decoding 

<SHIFT><DECODE> 
 

This key sequence gives access to decoding facilities. A full explanation will be given 
in the associated handbook which will be provided with the firmware upgrade.  
A data slicer interface is provided in the receiver which converts the audio into a bi-
polar square wave output on the din connector. (pin 3) this output is suitable for 
Hamcom and Jvfax type PC programs which use DSR for data transfer. COMMS has 
to be enabled by pressing <SHIFT><COMMS> to activate the output, and a special 
lead will be necessary to connect to a PC. Pin 3 on the receiver can be connected to 
DSR within the RS232 lead but this can cause problems with database use and should 
be connected via a switch if this method is to be used.

  Bands (Scanning between frequency limits) 

<BANDS> 
 

In band mode 99 band set ups can be stored which allows the user to scan defined 
frequency ranges with individual mode, scan type and any step size.  
A band can be selected by pressing 

<BAND>

 and using the 

<UP>

 and 

<DOWN>

 

keys or the tune wheel. 

<SHIFT><TEXT>

 can be used to find a band by its name 

when in band mode. 
Pressing 

<BAND>

 again gives the start frequency and another key press gives the end 

frequency, a  final key press displays the step size. At each stage a frequency can be 
entered from the keypad, and mode and the scan type can be set by pressing 

<SHIFT><SCAN>

. Having set up a band pressing 

<SCAN>

 will scan through the 

specified frequency range, 

<UP>

 and <

DN>

 reverses the scan direction, and the band 

can also be manually tuned within the specified range.  
Automem (see section 4.12) can be used in band mode to add active frequencies to a 
group. 
 
 

4.18

 Skip frequencies 

<SHIFT><SKIP>  
 

When SKIP is selected in the scan setup menu, (option 2, shown highlighted with 
square brackets), a bank of  user definable frequencies are checked by the scanner 
each time a signal is encountered, if the frequency corresponds with a frequency 
within the skip bank the scan will continue. This means that a band can be searched 
for new frequencies whilst ignoring spurii or signals that are already known about. 
Skip frequencies are added to the skip list by first tuning to the required frequency and 
then pressing <

SHIFT><SKIP>

 and selecting 1. Add to skip list. The skip list can be 

viewed by pressing key 2 and pressing <UP> and <DOWN> to scroll through the 
entries. Entries are deleted by pressing option 1. Delete entry. Remember to switch 
skip off if not required, by pressing <SHIFT><SCAN>  option 2.
