Channel or Band Selection:
You can change channels or bands on the
Default Screen by underscoring the channel
and pressing ENT to select it. Use the up or
down arrows to select the new channel, then
Press ENT to have the new channel take
affect. The unit will go to standby as the
synthesizer changes frequency.
Transmission will resume when the new
frequency is reached.
Frequency Direct:
If Frequency Direct Mode is enabled, the
frequency may be changed without
limitation to channels. Move the cursor to
underline the frequency, and press the ENT
key. Use the left and right arrows to select
the digit(s) to edit, and the up and down
arrows to change the value(s). Continue this
procedure until the entire frequency has
been set. When complete, press ENT to
have the new frequency take effect.
If the frequency entered is outside the band
of operation, the entry will be discarded, and
an error message showing the valid range of
operation will be displayed. In this mode,
the channel number is replaced with
asterisks " ". To return to "Channel
Mode", use the cursor to select a standard
channel number.
Power Adjustment:
The power mode of the NewsCaster VT2 is
set automatically to ANALOG or DIGITAL,
based on the Modulation (14) selected on
the front panel. This should not be confused
with the power output.
The user can select HI or LOW power
output (changes the output level 3 to 6 dBm)
by pressing the HI/LO button (13). The
power will change when the arrow button is
released. The new value displayed is the
current power.
