    FCC ID :DY7RT8059 (2) Reception of Weather Channel Broadcasts Press “3 WX” Weather Channels are pre-programmed at the factory. Press UP or DWN to scroll through the saved channel and select the desired frequency. (Under such a condition, Weater Channel Broadcast can be heard.) Press the CLR key at any time to exit the memory recall function.

    FCC ID :DY7RT8059 (5) Manual Frequency Search (COMM & NAV) Press the UP or DWN key to change the frequency manually by 8.33kHz (COMM.) or 50kHz (NAV) steps. (6) Frequency Memory Enter the desired frequency either by direct selection or using the search mode. Press the MEM key.

  • Page 12: Memory Scan

    FCC ID :DY7RT8059 (8) Memory Scan Press the RCL key. Hold the UP or DWN key for more than 1 second and the receiver will search through the frequencies in the selected direction. The message area of the screen will now display SCAN. When a broadcasting signal is found in one of the stored frequencies, the scan will stop temporarily and the unit will remain on that frequency.

  • Page 13: Transmitting

    FCC ID :DY7RT8059 (10) Transmitting If the unit is receiving a COMM frequency, 122.700 MHz for example, the screen will display “122.700”. Press the PTT key and the unit will broadcast over the selected frequency. The screen will display “122.700” and “TX”. Release the PTT key and the unit will return to receiving the selected frequency.
  • Page 14 FCC ID :DY7RT8059 Unless otherwise changed the bearing to or radial from will not change. The CDI needle will move to indicate the deviation from the selected bearing or radial as the aircraft moves. Each division is a two-degree deviation beginning with the side of the circle being two degrees.

  • Page 15: Localizer

    FCC ID :DY7RT8059 (12) Localizer Enter the desired Localizer frequency, 110.700 MHz for example. The CDI needle will now indicate the deviation from the localizer. Each division is deviating of every one time that starts from the centerline. This gives the display the ability to show a five-degree deviation to the right or to the left.
