mode has been selected.

8. Meter Band Identifier

Identifies the meter band of the selected SW frequen- cy. If the channel is an FM broadcast band frequency, “STEREO” or “MONO” appears in this location.

9. Band Identifier

Indicates whether the memory channel is in the LW, MW, SW, or FM bands.

10. MHz / kHz

Identifies whether the frequency is displayed in mega- hertz or kilohertz.

STORING A MEMORY CHANNEL

There are two ways to store a channel. The first is from VFO mode, and the other is from MEMORY mode.

To store a channel from VFO mode proceed as follows:

(A.) First select the mode and frequency that you wish to store, as you normally would do in VFO mode.

key. Then proceed as follows:

(A.) Select an empty MEMORY channel number using the ‘TUNING’ knob, or the ‘< SELECT >’ keys.

(B.) Press the Mode softkey for the frequency range that contains the frequency you wish to store, for example, ‘FM’, ‘MW / LW’, or ‘SW’. This will cause the ‘MEMORY’ softkey indicator to return to nor- mal video, and the pressed Mode softkey indica- tor will appear in reverse video.

(C.) Use the ‘TUNING’ knob to tune in the desired fre- quency, and use the Function softkeys (except for FM mode) to set the parameters as desired.

(D.) Press the ‘STORE’ key. This will take you back to the MEMORY screen with the curser on the previ- ously selected MEMORY location. Then press the ‘STORE’ key again. You will see a white curser flashing within the reverse video curser.

(E.) Within 5 seconds, you must either begin to pro- gram a name for the desired channel, or press the ‘STORE’ key again to store the channel with- out a name.

want to receive, you can go to it directly by entering the number on the ‘Direct- Key-Input’ keypad. If less than a four digit number is entered, there may be a slight delay between the time you enter the number and the time the channel change actually takes place. However, if you enter a four digit number, the channel change will occur immediately upon entry of the fourth number.

Example:

To enter MEMORY channel 475, press ‘0', ‘4', ‘7', ‘5'. If you want to temporarily change a parameter of a received MEMORY channel, or simply want to “tune around” the stored frequency, there are two ways to do this.

The first is to simply press any of the Function softkeys below the display which are labeled in reverse video, or the ‘FM’, ‘SW BAND’, or ‘MW/LW’ softkeys as appropriate. This will cause the ‘MEMORY’ softkey to be displayed in normal video, the ‘VFO’ label will be

shown in reverse video, and will allow you to tune the frequency, change parameters, or change bands. To return to scrolling through MEMORY channels with the ‘TUNING’ knob, simply press the ‘MEMORY’ softkey again.

The other method is to press the ‘TUNE’ softkey. This will return the receiver to the VFO mode and will trans- fer the MEMORY channel frequency and all associated parameters to the VFO for further tuning.

DELETING A MEMORY CHANNEL

Select the MEMORY channel to be deleted as described in “RECALLING A MEMORY CHANNEL”. Press and hold the ‘DELETE’ key for 3 seconds. A high pitched beep will be heard to indicate that the con- tents stored in the selected MEMORY channel number have been deleted, and you will see the name and fre- quency disappear from the selected MEMORY channel location.

Make sure you have set all the function parame- ters to your preference.

(B.) Then press the ‘STORE’ key, followed by the ‘MEMORY’ softkey. This will take you to the MEMORY screen similar to that shown above

(C.) Use the ‘TUNING’ knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ key to select the desired blank MEMORY number.

(D.) Press the ‘STORE’ key again. The selected fre- quency will appear at the selected MEMORY channel in reverse video, and a flashing white curser will appear in front of the selected channel number.

(E.) Within 10 seconds, you must either begin to pro- gram a name for the desired channel, or press the ‘STORE’ key again to store the channel with- out a name or to use the previously stored name.

(F.) To name the channel, while the white curser is flashing, use the ‘TUNING’ knob to scroll through the alphanumeric characters until you find the one you want. Then press the right hand ‘<SELECT >’ key to advance the curser to the next position. Repeat this process until you have entered all the characters you need.

(G.) When you have finished entering the channel name, press the ‘STORE’ key again. You will hear a confirming beep. The ‘MEMORY’ softkey indica- tor will return to reverse video, and you will be able to scroll through all MEMORY channels using the ‘TUNING’ knob and the ‘< SELECT >’ keys.

(F.) To name the channel, while the white curser is flashing, use the ‘TUNING’ knob to scroll through the alphanumeric characters until you find the one you want. Then press the right hand ‘< SELECT >’ key to advance the curser to the next position. Repeat this process until you have entered all the characters you need. Previously named channels can be revised in a similar man- ner.

(G.) When you have finished entering the channel name, press the ‘STORE’ key again. You will hear a confirming beep and will be returned to the VFO mode.

To store a memory channel from MEMORY mode, first enter MEMORY mode by pressing the ‘MEMORY’ soft-

To select a specific memory channel, press the ‘MEMO- RY’ softkey to enter memory mode. This will cause ‘MEMORY’ softkey label to appear in reverse video. Then use the ‘TUNING’ knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ key to scroll through the MEMORY numbers. Note that pressing the ‘FAST / TUNING LOCK’ key will cause the ‘TUNING’ knob to advance through the channels ten at a time instead of one at a time. For this to occur, you must start moving the ‘TUNING’ knob within 3 seconds of pressing the ‘FAST / TUNING LOCK’ key. Pressing the ‘FAST / TUNING LOCK’ key will NOT, how- ever cause the ‘< SELECT >’ key tuning rate to change. It will continue to scroll through MEMORY channels ten channel numbers at a time.

COUNTRetón Y DESCRIPTION

The E1 receiver contains 1200 memory channels grouped in a category named “COUNTRY”. These are in addition to the 500 MEMORY channels described in the previous section. These 1200 COUNTRY memory channels are divided among 111 countries from Afghanistan to Yugoslavia with 10 memory channels assigned per country and with 90 memory channels remaining with no country assigned. These COUNTRY memory channels are numbered from 501 to 1700.

They are displayed in groups of ten, and can be used to store and recall commonly monitored frequencies. Unlike the MEMORY channels described previously, COUNTRY channels cannot have names assigned to each channel.

While the intention here was to make it easier for the user to group interesting frequencies by country, any frequency can be stored in any COUNTRY channel.
