TDFM-136B Operating Instructions
In addition to editing the memory parameters individually, the user can
create
new
memories (for the main channel only) or
edit
all the parameters of an existing memory (for
Main or Guard channels).
All edit commands are interactive commands (they expect input from the user), as such, the
line on the display that does not have the parameter to be edited, becomes a prompt line to
guide the user as to the valid keys for that edit.
Example:
The edit frequency command, figure 2-1 shows the edit frequency screen if the
active memory is 001 on Main. Note that a cursor flashes on the second character in the
frequency field , on the Main display (top row) and that the Guard Display (bottom row)
has been changed to a prompt line . This prompt provides the user with information such
as what command is running, and what keys are valid.

frequency
When the Guard Channel is active, the situation is reversed: the cursor is placed on the
second digit in the frequency field on the Guard line, and the top line becomes the
prompt line.

frequency
Calling Key.
Some editors simply allow the user to select a set value from a list; in these cases, the key
used to 'call' the editor will also step
up
through the available choices. This allows the user
to make a selection without having to further navigate the keypad.
Simplex and duplex parameters.
Some of the transceiver parameters are simplex only: they are the same for both transmit
and receive operation. Other parameters are duplex: these may be (but do not have to be)
different for transmit than they are for receive.
Accept and Continue / Accept and Exit
For many edit functions (example Operating Mode), once the user has selected a value,
pressing the
key will accept the entry and exit the editor. However, some edit functions
require that the user accept a value before advancing (example Squelch Mode), in these
cases pressing the
key will advance to the next point in the editor.
Abandon Edit
In all cases, the
key will abandon the edit with no changes made.
