Function Bypass - Acom 03AT Operating Manual

DEF (Default) – above the button Esc – if you press it together with the Ent and release both buttons after that, the
letter "d" will appear to the right of the memory-cell number. This mark denotes a default cell that will be used by
default at a power on.
RCL (Recall) – above the button < – if you press it together with the Ent and release both buttons after that, the
contents of the current memory cell will be sent to the remote unit and it will become an active cell. Respectively, an
asterisk will appear to the left of the cell number.
STO (Store) – above the button < – if you press it together with the Ent and release both buttons after that, the
current relay settings and the tuning frequency of the remote unit will be memorized in the currently displayed
memory cell. Respectively, an asterisk will appear to the left of the cell number (the cell content is equalized with the
remote unit status i.e. it has become active). In addition, on the bottom row appears the new frequency segment for
which the stored tuning will be valid.
You will see that after a command has been given, its inscription disappears from the screen – this will be a notice
that the command has been accepted and done. You can give an arbitrary commands queue while you are holding
the button Ent, as well as you can release it for each command.
c) Using the memory.
You can prepare AATU tunings for the frequencies that you use frequently and store them in different memory cells
(with numbers 1 to 99) using the command Ent+STO (Store). The button AUTO TUNE is active also while using the
memory and is to be used in the same manner as it was in the OPERATE function (see S.4-1). The button is not
accessible only when a command selection is being expected (DEF, RCL or STO combined with Ent).
Once you have memorized the tunings for all the frequencies of interest, you can retrieve them in an arbitrary order
from the memory using the command Ent+RCL (Recall), i.e. to get them active. The tunings do not disappear even
after you switch off the power supply, i.e. the tunings memory is nonvolatile.
After you have activated a memory tuning via an Ent+RCL (Recall) command, you may write its content in another
memory cell using the command Ent+STO (Store)
them in new cells (without a retune) and then using the "vacated" cells to store new tunings there.
Using too old tunings can exhibit high SWR (if the conditions at the antenna have
changed significantly since the day the tunings have been stored). Should this
happen, we recommend that you refresh these tunings using the AUTO TUNE
procedure and then store new tunings via the Ent+STO (Store) command.
Once a memory cell gets activate, you can abandon the Memory sub-function temporarily by pressing the button Esc
until you reach the main menu. Then, the remote unit tuning is not being changed since the current tuning status is
being considered being operative. In this situation, you can use either function BYPASS, STATUS or SWR-CHK (for
instance checking the ATU resource in use or the present SWR of an old tuning). If you have not made any AUTO
TUNE meanwhile, at returning to the Memory sub-function you will have the same tuning status as it has been before
you left it (even if you have used the BYPASS function).
Should you need changing the default power-on memory cell, select the new cell via the buttons < or > and then use
the Ent+DEF (Default) command. You can do this at any time while using the Memory sub-function, as well as
immediately before switching the power off.

4-3. Function BYPASS

Before giving a BYPASS command, you have to stop any transmission.
When you select the function BYPASS between the square brackets in the main menu and then press Enter, you
will see the function inscription:
