Configuration of IF spectrum
REF sets the maximal level value that can be
displayed.
RNG sets the range that can be displayed on the y-
axis.
SPAN sets the width that can be displayed in the IF
panorama in 17 steps. In the COUPLED mode the
displayed width equals the width of the cut-in IF filter.
MTIME sets the measuring time

Softkeys
MIN starts the MIN-Hold process.
MAX starts the MAX-Hold process.
AVG starts averaging according to selection. Each
time this key is pressed the averaging function AVG
is started anew. The measured level values are
averaged over the measuring time.
CLRWRITE activates the display of the currently
measured level values.
_|__ TO ^ centers the spectrum to the next relative
level maximum left of the marker when the squelch
is off. When it is on the center frequency is set to the
next level maximum to the left which is above the
squelch line.
__|_ TO ^ centers the spectrum to the next relative
level maximum right of the marker when the squelch
is off. When it is on the center frequency is set to the
next level maximum to the right which is above the
squelch line.
Configuration of of control elements and interfaces
KEYS configuration of spinwheel functions and key
characteristics
MESSAGE configuration of acoustic and optical
messages
