Scroll/Select Switch and LCD

The Scroll/Select switch is used in conjunction with the LCD to select most of the transmitter's
operational settings. Use of the switch and LCD is fully detailed in the section of this user guide
applicable to the particular operating mode. During normal operation, the LCD shows the operating
frequency, the channel number (if the channel store facility is used), the carrier offset (if used), and
displays a graphical representation of instantaneous peak power.

The example LCD screen below shows the transmitter operating on 123.000 MHz; the frequency has
been preset as channel 8; and no offset is used.
