Chapter 5 Programming
Receive Scanning
The receive scanning feature allows you to locate active frequencies in
the entire band segment. To begin scanning, slowly turn the Squelch
control clockwise until the receiver noise disappears. Next, press the
scan button. The unit should start scanning from the lower to the higher
frequencies. Pressing the Scan button again will change the direction of
scanning. Each time the Scan button is pressed, "SCAN+" or "SCAN-"
will be displayed on the LCD display. The scan will stop on any active
frequency for the duration of the transmission. After the on frequency
activity stops, the RCI-2950DX/2970DX-150 will resume scanning after
about a 2 second pause. To deactivate the Scan mode, press the MAN
(manual) button or turn the Squelch control counterclockwise until you
hear receiver noise. The MAN button will disable the Scan function. (See
FREQUENCY SCANNING, pg. 15 for more information.)
Split Function4
This function enables you to split the transmit and receive frequencies for
by a pre-programmed amount. This feature is necessary for operation
with FM repeaters. (See OFFSET FREQUENCY OPERATION, pg. 17 for
more information). To split frequencies, press the MAN button and the
SPLIT button to select + split frequency (transmitter higher than
receiver). For - split frequency, press the SPLIT button again (transmitter
lower than receiver).
Memory Function
The RCI-2950DX/2970DX-150 can store up to 10 frequencies in memory
locations 0 to 9. To program a frequency into memory, follow the
procedure described below:
1. Press the MAN button.
2. Press the PRG button.
3. Press the MEM button. ("MEMORY" and "0" should appear on the left-
hand side of the LCD display). Each press of the MEM button will
advance the memory location one step at a time from "0" to "9".
