hDisplays

iDME channel selection buttons Press one of these buttons, turning it on, to delegate a DME channel to the keyer. The number of valid DME channel selection buttons depends on the number of channels installed in the DME processor.

A maximum of four consecutively numbered DME channels from the two sets, DME 1 to 4 and DME 5 to 8, can be assigned to one keyer. A DME channel assigned to a keyer cannot be selected on another keyer. However, using the override function it is possible to allocate a channel already allocated to another keyer to the currently selected keyer. If DME channel allocations have been made in a Setup menu, these buttons cannot be used to make DME channel allocations. Using the trace function, it is possible to check which keyer a DME channel is allocated to.
