Entering simple aerial switching data

In this example aerial 2 (“ANT 2”) will be programmed for

the frequency range of 10 kHz ~ 30 MHz so that aerial 1

(“ANT 1”) will operate by default on frequencies between

30 MHz and 2600 MHz.

1 Press

to access the CONFIG menu.

Use the

keys to locate the aerial selection

menu, the legend “ANT” flashes on the left of the LCD

(two presses of

or four presses of

2 Use the MAIN DIAL to select aerial 2 “ANT 2”. The

display will show that no data is currently present

“- - - - - - - - - -”.

Key in the lowest frequency limit (in this example this is

10 kHz)

then key in the upper frequency

limit (in this example 30 MHz)

3 To accept the data input press . The display will

return to VFO (or memory, scan or search mode,

whichever was previously in use).

If the set is not already in VFO mode press

Try keying in a few test frequencies... i.e. 5.505 MHz

(or

). The display should confirm selection of aerial 2

“ANT 2”, if it does not, ensure that AUTO aerial switching

has been selected. To review and change the selection

press

to access the aerial selection menu.

Press the

key to select “AUTO” (or use the

SUB DIAL). To accept the selection press

Key in another test frequency, this time 145.5 MHz

. The display should confirm

selection of aerial 1 “ANT 1”.

Note: Automatic aerial selection works independently of

AUTOMODE selection.

Entering complex aerial switching data

It is suggested that complex aerial switching arrangements

be written down first so that a clear picture of the required

programming can be established, for example:

Aerial selection 1 2 3 4

Channel

0 lower freq limit 190MHz 10kHz 50MHz 75.5MHz

0 upper freq limit 2600MHz 30MHz 90MHz 120MHz

1 lower freq limit 140MHz

1 upper freq limit 150MHz

2 lower freq limit 170MHz

2 upper freq limit 200MHz

3 lower freq limit

3 upper freq limit

and so on....

9 lower freq limit

9 upper freq limit

In this example all four aerials have been used as if the

optional AS5000 were in use, complex programming is

still possible using the standard two aerial inputs “ANT 1”

and “ANT 2”. Two anomalies have been used in the

above table to further promote the flexibility of

programming... can you spot them?... read on...

Note: If the AS5000 optional switching unit is not in use,

programming of ANT 3 & ANT 4 will result in ANT 1 being

used in their place. In no specific programming is made

gaps exist

, ANT 1 will be defaulted from 10 kHz to

2600 MHz.

1 Press

to access the CONFIG menu.

keys to locate the aerial selection

menu, the legend “ANT” flashes on the left of the LCD

(two presses of

or four presses of

2 Use the MAIN DIAL to select aerial 1 “ANT 1”. Delete

any data already programmed using the

key until

the legend “- - - - - - - - - -” is displayed.

Starting at AERIAL 1 channel 0

(refer to the chart)

key in

the lowest frequency limit

then key

in the upper frequency limit

3 Rotate the MAIN DIAL to select “ANT 2”. Delete any

data already programmed using the

key until the

legend “- - - - - - - - - -” is displayed.

Starting at AERIAL 2 channel 0

(refer to the chart)

key in

the lowest frequency limit

then key in the

upper frequency limit

4 Rotate the SUB DIAL to select AERIAL 2 channel 1.

Key in the lowest frequency limit

then key in the upper frequency limit

5 Rotate the SUB DIAL to select AERIAL 2 channel 2.

Key in the lowest frequency limit

then key in the upper frequency limit

6 Rotate the MAIN DIAL to select “ANT 3”. Delete any

data already programmed using the

key until the

legend “- - - - - - - - - -” is displayed.

Starting at AERIAL 3 channel 0 key in the lowest

frequency limit

then key in the upper

frequency limit
