ATR833S / P/N 833S-(Cxxx)-(Cxxx) Operation and Installation 2.4 Frequency Setting Frequency setting is always done by in two steps, as follows: 1. entering a new standby frequency to the desired value, and then 2. interchanging the new standby frequency and the previous active frequency by using the swap button .
ATR833S / P/N 833S-(Cxxx)-(Cxxx) Operation and Installation In order to speed up the entering of new frequencies, it is possible to configure the radio to allow entering only those frequencies that are used with 25 kHz channel width. Please refer to chapter 3.1 for information on this configuration.
ATR833S / P/N 833S-(Cxxx)-(Cxxx) Operation and Installation Respectively A push on the swap button interchanges the newly set standby frequency and the former active frequency and leaves the memory list menu. If no input is done for 10 seconds the device returns to the standard view.
ATR833S / P/N 833S-(Cxxx)-(Cxxx) Operation and Installation List entry „1“ contains the last standby frequency from the MEM menu If no input is done for 10 seconds, the device returns to the standard view. 2.4.5 Editing of the user-defined frequency list The standby frequency can be stored into any entry of the user memory.
ATR833S / P/N 833S-(Cxxx)-(Cxxx) Operation and Installation Every memory position can also store an identifier with up to 8 digits next to the frequency. To add a name go to the selected memory entry. To add the name, follow the next steps as for step 3 or step 4, above 5.
ATR833S / P/N 833S-(Cxxx)-(Cxxx) Operation and Installation Range 0 - 9 The setting for the squelch depends on different factors. For motor aircraft an initial higher setting is typically appropriate, gliders may use a lower value. A lower number means higher input sensitivity. This allows reception of weaker signals (radio stations at greater distance), but can also result in pickup of own-aircraft radio interference sources (engine, strobe lights etc.).
ATR833S / P/N 833S-(Cxxx)-(Cxxx) Operation and Installation In the case of very noisy backgrounds, or use of uncompensated microphones, the automatic VOX functionality may not work adequately.
