SELECTING THE PROGRAM MENU
To enter the program mode
press
The display will show “PROGRAM”, followed
by the first program option. Every time the
key is pressed, the radio will step to the next programming menu
option. The options available for programming are “STORE”, “ERASE”,
“ALPHA” and “EXIT”.
“
STORE
” will allow saving either the displayed information or entering a new
transmit / receive frequency pair and operating mode. If a name tag other than
the suggested is used (other than “NEW”), a new scan cell will be created.
“ ERASE ” deletes the bin number entered. Erasing a bin will split a scan cell.
“
ALPHA
” is the name tag edit routine. This routine is also used when storing a
display or new frequency pair.
“ EXIT ” will exit the program menu. No channel or frequency information will
be stored when EXIT is selected.
NOTE
:
Care should be given to the bin number used when programming frequencies.
The bin number and name tag will affect how channels are browsed and scanned.
Consecutive bin numbers that have the same first three characters in their name
tag, are known as “scan cells”. SEA has programmed 170 of the 200 possible
bins into 23 different scan cells. Scan cells may be as short as one bin or as long
as 200 bins but should be kept to a reasonable length for scanning efficiency.
Each scan cell is organized with frequency pairs that are related to one another.
For example, bins 13 through 30 have been programmed with frequencies
assigned to the coast station KMI. Since the name tag’s first three characters are
“KMI”, and the bins are consecutively numbered, the bins may be scanned as a
group. If the bins do not have the same first three characters, the scan cell will
be split into two different cells. For instance, if bin 20 is renamed to “SEA 1”,
the KMI scan cell will be split into two cells. One cell will contain bins 13
through 19, while the other cell will contain bins 21 through 30. Bin 20 will be a
single channel scan cell called “SEA”. Scanning “KMI” could be done by
scanning bins 13 through 19
OR
bins 21 through 30 but not both at the same
time.
Care should be given that a scan cell is not split unintentionally. Bins that will
not be scanned can be given any descriptive name tag.
