13 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES

The table below is an example of how to add the frequency border of 1.62 MHz/ AM into memory. With this set up, the transceiver selects AM mode below

1.62MHz, LSB mode from 1.62 MHz to 9.5 MHz and USB mode from 9.5 MHz to 60.0 MHz.

The next table is an example of adding 4 frequency points into memory. With this setup, the transceiver selects AM mode below 1.62 MHz, CW mode from

1.62MHz to 2.0 MHz, LSB mode from 2.0 MHz to

9.5MHz, FM mode from 9.5 MHz to 53.0 MHz and USB mode from 53.0 MHz to 60.0 MHz. If multiple data contains the same frequency but a different mode is entered into memory, the lowest numbered memory channel is reflected as the Auto Mode.

To activate the Auto Mode function,

1press [MENU/ F.LOCK].

2Turn the MULTI control to select Menu No. 02.

3Press [] to select ÒonÓ.

4Press [MENU/ F.LOCK] to store the setting and exit Menu mode.

BEEP FUNCTION

The Beep function provides you confirmation of entry, error status, and malfunctions of the transceiver. Although you can turn the beep function OFF by

accessing Menu No. 12, we recommend you leave it ON in order to detect unexpected errors and malfunctions.

You can also change the output level of the beeps by accessing Menu No. 12 and selecting Ò1Ó to Ò9Ó or ÒoFFÓ.

The transceiver generates Morse code to tell you which mode is selected when you change operating modes.

When you change operating modes, the following Morse code sounds:

The transceiver also generates the following warning, confirmation, and malfunction beeps.

Beeps

What it means

 

 

A high pitched short beep

A valid key is pressed.

 

 

A high pitched double

When a secondary

beep

function is selected.

 

 

 

A key entry is accepted,

A high pitched long beep

Scan starts, or AT tune

 

has completed.

A regular short beep

A function is turned OFF.

 

 

A low pitched short beep

An invalid key is pressed.

 

 

ÒULÓ in Morse code

The internal PLL circuit

unlock status is detected.

 

 

CW Auto Tune cannot be

ÒSÓ in Morse code

completed, or an invalid

 

frequency is entered.

 

 

 

AT Tune cannot be

Ò5Ó in Morse code

completed within the

 

specified time.

 

The antennaÕs SWR is

ÒSWRÓ in Morse code

too high (over 10:1) to

 

perform AT Tune.

 

 

 

1 minute before the APO

 

(Auto Power Off) function

ÒCHECKÓ in Morse code

switches the transceiver

OFF. A protection circuit

 

 

is ON. Invalid voltage is

 

detected.

ÒBTÓ in Morse code

Waiting for a CW

message to be recorded.

 

ÒARÓ in Morse code

The current message

memory is full.
