Reception of VOR Signals
When the FTA-750/FTA-550 receive a VOR (VHF
omnidirectional range) signal, the display will automati-
cally switch to the NAV band screen which shows a
CDI (course deviation indicator) based on the received
signal, and " VOR ", which indicates that the FTA-750/
FTA-550 are receiving the VOR signal, appears on the
display.

The OBS is set to 0 degree when you use the FTA-
750/FTA-550 for the first time.
The last value you have set as the OBS will be dis-
played next time the NAV band screen appears.
The upside of the compass rose always indicates the
direction set as the OBS.
When the OBS is set to a degree within the "TO"
range relative to the VOR signal, the FTA-750/
FTA-550 displays a degree adding (or subtracting)
180° to (or from) the VOR signal as the VOR value.
The SOG is displayed only when the internal GPS
unit is activated and receives a fix in the FTA-750.
Note:
You may change the COM band receive frequency while
receiving a VOR signal. If the [ ENT ] key is pressed
during the tag name of the VOR station is selected,
the recall screen listing the frequencies you have used
will temporarily appear on the display, so that you may
select a frequency from the list with the [ ◄ ] or [ ► ] key
or change the frequency with the DIAL selector knob.
