* BLOCKS *
INCLUDE
To INCLUDE a block of frequencies means the Xplorer will receive and display all frequencies within that block. All frequencies that fall
outside that block will not be received by the Xplorer even if the RF from those frequencies is present.
EXCLUDE
To EXCLUDE a block of frequencies means the Xplorer will reject all frequencies within that block. All frequencies that fall outside that
block are able to be received by the Xplorer.
OFF
To turn a block OFF means that it is disabled and all frequencies that are entered in a block that has been turned off can now be received
by the Xplorer
INCLUDE AND EXCLUDE
If a band of frequencies are excluded and included in separate blocks then the block order (0-9) takes precedence in the Xplorer’s reception
of those frequencies. For example: If 145.000 MHz - 155.000 MHz is in BLOCK 0 that is set for EXCLUDE, and is also in BLOCK 1 set
for INCLUDE then BLOCK 0 takes precedence over BLOCK 1 and 145.000 MHz - 155.000 MHz is excluded from reception.
It is recommended that this mode be used to its full potential. Using the blocks mode to EXCLUDE farfield signals not normally desired
for reception is highly recommended. This eliminates the need to lockout those unwanted frequencies individually as you lock onto them in
sweep mode. Additionally, it must be noted that excluding frequencies in BLOCKS mode does not act as a filter for the background RF.
The RF from those frequencies is still present and can have an adverse effect on the Xplorer’s ability to lock onto frequencies. Therefore,
it is recommended that external filters such as the Optoelectronics N100 FM notch filter be utilized to eliminate the background RF of
unwanted signals. Doing so will greatly improve the performance of the Xplorer.
