SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL SELECTION
In the following description of SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL
SELECTION, the term group is used for both group and channel.
The ORION SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob and the RAMP control
,, . pair are programmable for maximum flexibility. If the
SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob is assigned to select groups, then the
RAMP control ,, . is assigned to select systems. If the
SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob is assigned to select systems, then the
RAMP control ,, . keys are assigned to select groups. System, group

or group select modes are entered by pressing SYS or GRP, respectively,

GROUP/CHANNEL knob, select a system by turning the
SYSTEM/ GROUP/CHANNEL knob to the desired system
position. The display registers the new system name on line

position greater than the number of programmed systems,
the highest programmed system will remain selected.
