This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of the ATR833 VHF Communications Transceiver including operating procedures. Information relative to the installation can be found in the ATR833 Installation Manual. (Document Number 01.140.010.12) Information relative to the maintenance, alignment , and procurement of replacement parts may be found in the ATR833 Maintenance Manual (Document Number 01.140.010.13).
The data base is an add on feature and not a basic function of the ATR833. If it is not installed or it has been erased by a special setup the ATR833 operates like any standard COM radio using an active and stand by display pattern.

To set a new frequency just turn the knob (4) for MHz and (3) for kHz as indicated in the lower stand by line. The kHz stepping for the 8.33 kHz/25 kHz mode is described in chapter 5, ATR833 Frequency- Channel Plan. While entering a new frequency the previous related name will be automatically erased.
With the knob (3) a cursor can be set in the name line and with (4) a letter can be selected. The memory selector (1) is disabled in this mode. 2.6.2.1 SAVE , use of Index Before saving any information into the user memory you should pay attention to the previous contents represented by the index [nn]...
If the frequency in use has an intolerable frequency drift a "Er" will appear at left side of the active frequency. The transmitter will then be inoperable. In this case the ATR833 is malfunctioning and must be returned to the manufacturer. Page: 12...
With this unit any frequency can be set direct into the active area. Also the Volume, Squelch and VOX can be changed. All the previous setups in the ATR833 will be unchanged. It is also not possible to lock out the operation of the ATR833 by any fault of the remote unit.
