MAP
)
This key switches the TFT between the Great Circle
Map and the regular Rotator Control compass dis-
play.
Advice
: If the Great Circle display is utilized, you
probably already know the approximate location
of the other station on the map; so even if the
country name and the city name are not entered
into the radio, the Great Circle map provides a
convenient tool for rotating the antenna to the op-
timum heading.
If your own location is not indicated at the center
of the Great Circle Map, please set the local time
(which registers the location where the radio is
operated). If this is not done, the various func-
tions of the World clock and Great Circle map will
not function correctly. Regarding the setting of the
Local time, please see the “PLEASE READ THIS
FIRST” document.
