TUNING Setup Screen
The TUNING setup screen allows
selection of one of four factory set
frequency groups (Groups A through
D), two user programmable frequency groups (Groups
U and V) or the choice to not use groups at all.
Note: User Group Tuning available in units with
firmware version 3.0 and above.
In the four factory set frequency groups, eight frequen-
cies per group are preselected. These frequencies are
chosen to be free of intermodulation products. (See
Frequency Coordination.)
In the two user programmable frequency groups, up to
16 frequencies can be programmed per group.
Note: The Tuning setup screen only selects the
tuning mode (NORMAL or Group Tuning) and
not the operating frequency. Actual operating
frequencies are chosen through the Frequency
Window.
Frequency Window Behavior
If NORMAL tuning mode is selected, the SEL Up and
Down buttons select the operating frequency in single
channel (100 kHz) increments and the MENU+Up and
MENU+Down shortcuts tune in 16 channel (1.6 MHz)
increments.
There are two types of group tuning modes: factory pre-
set groups (Grp A through D) and user programmable
frequency groups (Grp U and V).
When using Group Tuning, a lower case “a, b, c, d, u” or
“v” will be displayed to the immediate left of the trans-
mitter switch settings in the Frequency Window, indicat-
ing which group is selected. If currently tuned frequency
is not in the current tuning group, the indicator will blink.
If a factory tuning group has been selected, pressing
either the SEL Up or Down button will select the nearest
factory selected frequency in that group above or below
the current frequency.
User Programmable Frequency Group Behavior
The user programmable frequency groups work very
similarly to the factory groups with a few exceptions.
The most obvious difference is the ability to add or
remove frequencies from the group. Less obvious is the
behavior of a user programmable frequency group with
only one, or no, entries.
A user programmable frequency group with only one
entry will only display that one frequency regardless
of how many times the SEL Up or Down buttons are
pressed (providing the MENU button is not pressed at
the same time).
A user programmable frequency group with no entries
reverts to non-group-mode behavior, i.e., access is
allowed to all 256 available frequencies in the selected
receiver module’s frequency block. However, once a
frequency has been added to the tuning group, this
behavior changes to group-mode behavior where the
MENU button must be pressed and held while either
the SEL Up or Down buttons are pressed to access
frequencies that are not part of the current tuning group.
Adding/Deleting User Programmable
Frequency Group Entries
Note: Each user programmable frequency group
(“u” or “v”) has separate contents. It is suggested
to review the section titled Frequency Coordination
prior to adding frequencies in order to minimize
potential intermodulation problems.
1. Start from the Frequency Window and verify
that a lower case “u” or “v” is present next to
the transmitter switch settings.
2. While pressing and holding the MENU button
press either the SEL Up or Down button to
move to one of the 256 available frequencies
in the block. Whenever the selection comes
to rest on a frequency that is in the current
group, the group tuning mode indicator (letter
“u” or “v”) will give a steady indication. On
frequencies that are not in the group, the
indicator will blink.
3. To add or remove the displayed frequency
from the group, hold down the MENU button
while pressing and holding the SEL Up button
for about a second. The group tuning mode
indicator will stop blinking to show that the
frequency has been added to the group, or
begin blinking to indicate that the frequency
has been removed from the group.
