[6] [F] [S PROG] Numeric 6 / Bank F / Search program
This key acts as a numeric 6 when entering frequencies via the keypad.
In search, scan and memory modes this key is used to identify bank F/f.
If the sequence [FUNC] [6] is keyed, the SEARCH PROGRAM menu will be
activated. The legend "SRCH PROG" appears on the top line of the LCD to
indicate activation. The data programming or reprogramming of search banks
may be input through this menu.
While in VFO and search program (menu step size input), the [PASS] key
adds the legend "+" indicating STEP OFFSET which is a useful facility for
following unusual offsets such as a 25 kHz bandplan with 12.5 kHz offset.
[7] [G] [B SCP] Numeric 7 / Bank G / Band scope
This key acts as a numeric 7 when entering frequencies via the keypad.
In search, scan and memory modes this key is used to identify bank G/g.
If the sequence [FUNC] [7] is keyed while in single VFO frequency display or
two VFO frequency display, the BAND SCOPE will be activated to check for
adjacent channel occupancy. This bar graph spectrum display uses the whole
eleven horizontal positions of the third line of the LCD (five channels either side
of the centre frequency). The stronger the signal then the higher the bar graph.
The band scope channel spacing is determined by the receive mode (NFM,
USB etc).
When the [DIAL] is turned or every five seconds the display will be updated.
This can be a useful feature if the "exact" frequency of a specific service is not
known. There will be a brief interruption to the receive station (centre
frequency) every five seconds as the display is updated.
To deactivate the bandscope, repeat the key sequence [FUNC] [7] or press the
[2VFO], [SRCH] or [SCAN] keys.
[8] [H] [EDT CH] Numeric 8 / Bank H / Edit memory channel
This key acts as a numeric 8 when entering frequencies via the keypad.
In search, scan and memory modes this key is used to identify bank H/h.
If the sequence [FUNC] [8] is keyed the edit options menu and sub menus
may be accessed. Initially the legend "SET EDIT-CH" is displayed on the first
line of the LCD.
Edit mode enables memory data to be changed (edited) & data of two memory
channels to be swapped (exchanged).
