6.Press the [ ] key to advance the cursor to Mode. Select the communication mode, AUTO, ARQ or FEC.

7.Press the [ ] key to advance the cursor to Auto Search. Turn Auto Search ON or OFF;

Auto Search ON: Radio stops scanning when it finds the stron- gest (S/N ratio) free-signal frequency. Use it where signal propa- gation in poor.

Auto Search OFF: Scanning starts and stops with the first- received free-signal frequency. Normally, use this position.

8.Press [ ] to place the cursor on the No. 1 line. Enter channel or user channel. See the table on the next page for MARITEX radio channel information. Then, press the [ ] key to select "Scan".

9.Press [ ] to advance the cursor to the No. 2 line. Enter channel number. Repeat this procedure for other channels, up to 20.
