The SM-5000 Spectrum Scope provides a visual display of an amateur band segment tuned by the VFO-A receiver. The default
bandwidth allows you to see both strong and weak signals clearly depicted on the monitor screen. During transmission, the
transmitter's waveform will be displayed, except when the frequency span is set to 2500 kHz in the CTR (Center) display
mode or set to 1000/2500 kHz in the FIX (Fixed) display mode.
The LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) function provides very high-speed signal detection over a limited segment of the
currently displayed spectrum. The CTR (Center) display mode will let you monitor signals close to your current frequency (your
frequency is located at the center of the screen). When the FIX (fixed) mode is engaged, the left band edge frequency is fixed, and
your operating frequency may be indicated within the displayed bandwidth. These features have been carefully considered for
their utility in actual Amateur Radio operation.
Note: The vertical axis of the Spectrum Scope display is approximately 10 dB per division.
In the CTR mode, the operating frequency is shown at the center of the monitor screen. The selected Spectrum Scope frequency
bandwidth is displayed across the monitor screen. Signals received on the VFO-A band are shown. (To show signals more clearly
and easily, the LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) function lets you perform a high-speed, high-resolution sweep of a limited
band segment (See page 4 for details).
