USER-CUSTOMIZED OPERATING MODE

OVERVIEW

This mode recalls a pre-configured operating “en- vironment” (mode, filter selections, offsets, etc.) by pressing and hold in the [PKT] key on the front panel.

This can be useful for storing your favorite combi- nation of operational settings for a mode you often use. Digital operators who go through the various proce- dures of combining filter selections, carrier and dis- play offsets, etc., for a custom environment optimized for FAX or SSTV (as an example) can store these set- tings for easy recall. For special modes that require unique configuration of transceiver settings that are not used elsewhere, the “USER” mode comes in handy for storing these parameters while keeping other trans- ceiver settings default for general operation.

The following parameters are user-customized by recalling menu selection 8-6. Operating parameters are chosen by turning the SUB VFO-B tuning knob, while parameter settings are changed with the MAIN VFO-A knob (see below).

ø1: the tables on pages 106, 107, and 110 list vari- ous menu selected receive and display offsets for each mode.

ø2: Settings are factory preset & non-adjustable.

Mode - Select from LSB, USB, CW (upper or lower), RTTY (upper or lower), or Packet (lower sideband only).

Display Offset - Choose a custom offset ±5.000 kHz (in 5-Hz steps) to be displayed when the “USER” mode is active.

Tx and Tx PLL Offset - Choose a custom PLL off- set ±5.000 kHz (in 5-Hz steps) to take effect when the “USER” mode is active.

Tx and Tx Carrier - Changes the carrier injection frequency between 450-460 kHz.

RTTY Custom Shift - Choose a custom (non-stan- dard) RTTY shift of ±5.000 kHz (in 5-Hz steps) when the “User” mode is active.

“Easy Setting” - this allows choosing one of two factory-configured settings optimized for either SSTV (slow scan television) or FAX (facsimile) operation.

With the user settings customized as desired, press and hold in the [PKT] key (its red LED blinks for three seconds when activated) to recall the “User” mode. The custom settings will take effect, and the display changes to reflect the new operating mode. To exit the “User” Mode, simply press any band, mode or function key so the red LED in the [PKT] key turns off.

Note: see pages 106 and 107 for a complete listing of default settings according to operating mode.

Important!

While the “USER” Mode allows customizing op- eration for various operating environments, chang- ing some settings (especially the PLL offset and carrier injection) can adversely affect transceiver operation. Before making any “USER” Mode ad- justments, ensure you have a firm understanding on how changing these affect transceiver opera- tion and frequency display. If you are not sure, we recommend leaving them as set (to their default values shown in the table).

You can return all transceiver settings (menu se- lections) to their default values at any time by per- forming a CPU reset. Simply hold the [SUB(CE)], [29(0)], & [ENT] keys together while turning the transceiver on.
