Menu  items  that  can  be  

edited  will  ‘blink’  at  a  

rapid   rate   when   you  

push the knob.   Don’t 

confuse ‘blinking’ menu 

callouts, such as the one 

illustrated here, with the 

‘flashing’ alarm discussed above.  
To recap: in setup menus, any parameter that can be edited 

will begin blinking as soon as the knob is pushed.  Blinking 

indicates that a different option or value may be selected.  

Turn the knob to make your choice, and then push it once 

again to accept the selection. 
Each SiteStreamer™ menu screen will be discussed separate-

ly and in order, except that the last menu is discussed first, 

as it could constitute a show-stopper! 

Locked Menus

  (Menu Screen 13)

 

To guard against inadvertent menu editing or casual tam-

pering, the very last menu in the sequence lets the user lock 

the knob out of the editing mode.  If you find that when you 

push the knob you can’t enter a setup menu to change a pa-

rameter,  scroll  all  the  way  to  the  very  last  menu  screen.    

Push the knob and the 

word 

Menus

 will start to 

blink.    Turn  the  knob  to  

select 

Menus:Unlocked

Push the knob again to 

set  this  selection,  and 

then  navigate  back  to  whichever  screen  you  were  trying  to  

edit.  You can re-lock the menu when you’re finished.  

Setting the Frequency and Mode

 (Menu Screen 1)

 

When  power is applied 

to the SiteStreamer™, a 

‘splash screen’ with the 

product ID pops up im-

mediately  on  the  LCD.  

Within  a  few  seconds 

this will revert to Menu Screen 1, shown here. 
The top line of Menu Screen 1 shows the frequency of the 

station and whether it is broadcasting in FM/stereo: 

FM:S

,

 a 

— 10 — 

blended, noise-reducing mode for FM: 

FM:B

, FM/monaural: 

FM:M

, or HD Radio: 

HD:1

 through 

HD:8

The

 second line in this menu always shows which, if any, 

HD Radio channels are being broadcast at this particular 

frequency.  If none is broadcast, 

HD:None

 will be indicated.  

HD:Sync...

 is displayed as the receiver acquires lock.  

Once locked, all HD Radio channels received will be listed as 

shown in the example. 
When receiving FM, the 

RF

 bargraph is a rough measure-

ment of incoming signal level.   

DQ

 (Digital Quality) is an in-

dication of digital reception integrity in the HD Radio recep-

tion mode.  
Push the knob once and 

FREQ

  will start to blink.  Turn the 

knob to set the receive frequency.  Push the knob a second 

time and 

FM

 will begin blinking.  At this point you can turn 

the knob to switch to HD Radio reception (if available), se-

lecting 

HD:1

  through 

HD:8

.  The SiteStreamer™  does not 

blend between reception modes, nor does it default to FM 

when the digital HD Radio signal cannot be acquired or 

simply is not there.   What you select is what you get. 

Carrier Strength and Alarm

  (Menu Screen 2)

 

The upper line of this 

screen displays incom-

ing signal strength.  The 

RF

  numerical  value  is 

the level at the antenna 

input in dBuV, and de-

fines  a  range  between  0dBuV  (1  microvolt)  and  75dBuV  

(about 5 millivolts).  The bargraph readout gives an analog 

display  of  levels  from  12dBuV  to  70dBuV  at  2dB  per  seg-

ment.  The signal strength display does not refer to the dB 

scaling above the display, which is used only for audio level 

measurements in Menu Screen 5.  
The lower LCD scale is labeled 

LOSIG:

 and has a pair of tic 

marks off to the right.  Push the knob and 

LO

, will begin to 

blink, along with the left-

hand tic mark.  Turn the 

knob to position the left 

tic mark anywhere be-

neath  the 

RF

  bargraph.
