6-12 Entering a frequency via the keypad
Where exact frequencies are known, you may wish to enter a frequency directly
through the keypad. The numeric keypad is located on the front panel
underneath and to the right of the LCD. The keypad is laid out in a logical
manner and is split into numeric and command areas.
The numeric keys are used for entering a frequency with the decimal key [.]
acting as a separator. It is possible to enter frequencies as MHz, kHz or by
metre band.
Entry as MHz:
For example, to select 14.10000 MHz follow the key sequence:
[1] [4] [.] [1] [MHz] (MHz frequency entry)
You will note that the trailing zeros are not required as the AR3030 completes
the entry at the time the [MHz] key is pressed.
Entry as kHz:
For example, to select 4722 kHz (4.722
MHz) follow the key sequence:
[4] [7] [2] [2] [kHz] (kHz frequency
Entry as mtr:
Should you wish to start listening to a
Broadcast or Amateur band but not a
specific frequency, the [mtr] key
provides immediate access with minimal
key presses. The information will update
as you recall [mtr] band and tune the
receiver.
At default the following [mtr] key defaults
apply:
Attenuator is always OFF
VFO is always [A]
Filter is always [NORM]
AGC is always [SLOW].
