DESCRIPTIONetón

The E1 incorporates a SEEK function which allows the user to search for signals in VFO, MEMORY or COUNTRY mode which have signal strengths that exceed a predetermined level which the user deter- mines by the setting of the SQUELCH knob.

VFO MODE

To use SEEK in VFO mode, proceed as follows:

(1)Select the frequency range you would like to scan. This can be FM, MW, LW, or SW.

(2)Set the SQUELCH control so that the Squelch Level Indicator (located below the signal strength indicator) is set at the desired level.

(3)Press the ‘SEEK’ key. The receiver will scan through the selected band in 5 kHz steps on LW band, 9 or 10 kHz steps on MW band, 5 kHz steps on SW band, and 200 kHz steps on FM band. Signals that are strong enough to cause the signal strength indicator display bars to extend further to the right

than the Squelch Level indicator will cause SEEK to stop on that signal, and the signal will be heard.

(4)The receiver will remain on that signal until the ‘SEEK’ key is pressed again.

(5)If the receiver continues to SEEK but cannot find a signal, you may press ‘SEEK’ again to stop the SEEK.

MEMORY & COUNTRY MODE

To use SEEK in MEMORY and COUNTRY modes, select- ed frequencies must be programmed into several of the MEMORY and/or COUNTRY channels. Programming of MEMORY channels is covered on page 26 and pro- gramming of COUNTRY channels is covered on page

28.Once MEMORY and/or COUNTRY channels are pro- grammed as desired, proceed as follows:

(1) Press the ‘MEMORY’ or ‘COUNTRY’ softkey to enter the desired mode.

(2) Set the ‘SQUELCH’ knob to the desired level. (HINT: Set the ‘SQUELCH’ control high enough (clockwise)
