Frequency (FREQ):

Displays the current converter frequency in MHz, and allows the selection of a
new frequency channel between RF

Low

to RF

High

MHz (e.g.; 7900.000 to

8400.000 MHz) in 125 KHz steps through keypad inputs.

Attenuation (ATTN):

Input and displays the converter attenuation setting which is selected between
0.00 to 25.00 in 0.25 dB steps. The default setting is 10.00 dB.
