on the keypad and press [ENT]. 164.4375 will appear in the display
window. Rotate (DIAL) to fine tune if needed. If you make a mistake
press [CLEAR] to start over.
4. The (GAIN) knob will serve as your attenuator. Turn it to the right for
long range reception and to the left for close tracking.
STORING DATA IN THE MEMORY BANK
Store as many as 999 frequencies in the memory bank. Each memory
channel holds one frequency with an alphanumeric comment for convenient
identification. The stored data can be recalled quickly and easily.
1. Turn the receiver on and press [PROG]. PROG-MEMORY will appear
at the top of the display window.
2. The cursor will be on the top line. Press [] to bring the cursor to
(CH) channel selection. Enter the number 001 - 999 where the frequency
will be stored and press [ENT] or scroll with (DIAL) to desired channel.
3. Press [] to move the cursor to the top line and use the keyboard to
enter the frequency to be stored in that channel, then press [ENT]. The
receiver will now be active on that frequency. Once the frequency is
entered rotate (DIAL) to fine tune if needed. Push [ENT] again if no
TXT line or no change is required to TXT line after entering frequency,
to exit programming mode.
4. Press [] to move cursor to TXT line. Rotate (DIAL) until the
