first. The table can be sorted by frequency, instead of amplitude. In this mode the lowest
frequency peak is listed first, with the others listed in order of increasing frequency. Press
PK SORT FRq AMP to underline FRQ and list the signals by frequency.

table can be limited to list only the signals above a certain power level. Change the peak
table from the normal mode to the display line mode by pressing PK MODE <>DL NRM to
underline >DL. The knob can then be used to move the display line to identify only the
desired peaks above the display line.
5. Press PK MODE <>DL MRM again to underline < DL and move the display line to identify
only the peaks that fall below the display line.
