4 BASIC OPERATIONS STORING THE ANTENNA NAME You can store an antenna name for the connected antenna. If multiple antennas are used, band by band, displaying the antenna name allows you to distinguish which antenna you want to select.

A maximum of 5 alphanumeric characters and symbols can be entered. [SPACE] (F1): Press to enter one space. [-] (F2) or [+] (F3): Press to display the previous or next character. [ ] (F4) and [ the left or right. ] (F5): Press to move the cursor to [SAVE] (F6): Stores the selected characters. [BACK SPACE] (F): Press to delete the character to the left of the cursor. [DEL] (F): Press to delete the character to the right of the cursor. [CHAR] (F): Changes the character type. Each time you press [CHAR] (F), the character type cycles through the following sequence: ABC (upper case) > abc (lower case) > ÀÁÂ (upper case) > àáâ (lower case) > !"# (symbols) > ABC (upper case) CHANGING THE ANTENNA You can change the antenna connected to the rear panel according to your operating band. ANT1 to ANT4, RX ANT, and DRV settings will automatically be saved in the antenna band memory. If you select the same band next time, the same antenna will automatically be selected. The antenna band memory is set independently for the sub band and the main band. 1 Press [ANT] (F) to select the antenna. Each key press cycles the operating mode through the following sequence. ANT1 > ANT2 > ANT3 > ANT4> ANT1 Frequency Range for the Selected Antenna (MHz) 0.03 to 0.522 10.5 to 14.5 0.522 to 2.5 14.5 to 18.5 2.5 to 4.1 18.5 to 21.5 4.1 to 6.9 21.5 to 25.5 6.9 to 7.5 25.5 to 30.0 7.5 to 10.5 30.0 to 60.0 If the same antenna is set for the main band and the sub band, the signal from the antenna will pass the divider circuit, and will be distributed equally to the main band receiver and the sub band receiver. This will result in a sensitivity reduction of approximately 3 dB with a noise level rise by 3 dB. To prevent the sensitivity reduction, turn OFF the sub band receiver or connect an antenna different from that for the main band. 4-22 Index Contents
