Selecting a region

The factory pre-programmed regions enable users to scroll through the channels in their respective region. This means both analogue (in RF level mode) and digital transmissions (in BER mode) can be detected. Each region has more than one transmission channel. Each channel is designated as a MUX (multiplexer). Each MUX transmits multiple stations.
