py diskette, by use of the F4 command. You
will be prompted to define a file name to be
used. Standard DOS file name specifications
should be used (e.g. no more than eight
characters in the file name).
If you wish to create a separate sub-directo-
ry (so as to store files for different custom-
ers in different sub-directories, for example),
press [Tab], then press [F3], to activate the
[Mk Dir] (Make Directory) function. You can
then type in the name you wish to use for
this sub-directory, then continue with the
file storage process.

2-4: Printing Hard Copy

To print a copy of the currently-displayed
channel data file, press [F7] when all pro-
gramming steps have been completed. This
allows you to attach a copy of the program-
ming information to the programming work
order, for the convenience of the customer.
3. Programming Navigation/
When CE-22 is initially started with a new
VXR-1000, only CHANNEL 1 will be show-
ing.
Use the UP and DOWN keys to navigate to
different channel numbers. Use the LEFT
and RIGHT keys to navigate between the
various columns of a particular channel pro-
gramming line. Beginning in Section 4 of this
manual, we will only discuss a single line
of channel programming data, as each line
of channel programming data is identical
(except for the fact that CHANNEL 1's data
cannot be hidden).
3-1: Hiding/Un-hiding Channel Data using
SPACE Bar
The SPACE bar is used in many program-
ming steps to activate or de-activate a par-
ticular function.
If the cursor is on the channel number col-
umn, however, pressing the SPACE bar will
toggle between hiding of that channel num-
ber's data and re-activating that channel
number's data. CHANNEL 1's data, how-
ever, cannot be hidden.
Use of SPACE Key
CE-22 Program Software
A channel number on which data has been
hidden will display "-- --" in place of the field
entries. On the VXR-1000, if you select a
"hidden" channel, three indicators will blink
to alert you to this fact.
If you make a change to the programming
of a "hidden" channel at a later time, the
channel will automatically be re-activated
(removed from "hidden" status). You will
need to return to the Rx Freq field in order
to re-hide it.

3-2: Primary Use for SPACE Bar

In many programming steps, such as CTC-
SS or DCS tone/code entry, an initial press
of the SPACE bar will activate the parame-
ter (turn it on) or de-activate the parameter
(turn it off). In each such step, you will be
prompted in the upper-right-hand window
as to additional steps to be taken to secure
the final value for the parameter you are
currently setting.
In programming steps where a numerical
value is required, press the [Space] bar to
increase the value, or [Back Space] to de-
crease the value.

4. Channel Frequency Programming

4-1: Rx Freq.
(Edit Receive (or Simplex) Frequency)
Use the 0 - 9 keys to enter the desired chan-
nel frequency directly, and press [ENTER].
The frequency entered will be adjusted au-
tomatically if it does not conform to the
"CHANNEL STEP" parameter, and will be
adjusted to the nearest "valid" step; the fre-
quency will also appear in the Tx Freq. field
(next step) automatically, to simplify entry
if the current channel is to be used on Sim-
plex. You do not need to enter all eight dig-
its of the frequency; empty digits to the right
will be set to "0" when you press [ENTER].
Pressing [.] ("period") after several digits
forces those digits to be "MHz" digits. If you
press [.] before entering any digits, only the
"kHz" digits will be changed.
Pressing only the SPACE bar, without en-
tering any frequency digits, toggles the data
for the entire channel between "hidden" and
