NOTE
The ACT annunciator continuing to
flash after the frequency has been
selected
indicates
that
the
transceiver is not tuned to the
frequency displayed in the active
display.
To return to the preset frequency selection
mode, push the ACT switch again for about 2 seconds.
As a safety feature, the transceiver control unit switches
to the active frequency selection mode when a
frequency select knob is operated while the STO, TEST,
or XFR/MEM switches are actuated.
(4)
Frequency storage. To program
the memory, select the frequency in the preset
frequency display using the frequency select knobs and
push the STO switch once. One of the channel numbers
(CH 1 through CH 6) will appear in the active display for
approximately 5 seconds. During this time the channel
number can be changed without changing the preset
frequency by momentarily positioning the XFR/MEM
switch to the MEM position. After the desired channel
number has been selected, push the STO switch again
to store the frequency.
NOTE
When
storing
a
frequency,
the
second actuation of the STO switch
must be done within 5 seconds after
selecting the channel number or the
first actuation of the STO switch. If
more than 5 seconds elapse, the
control will revert to the normal
modes of operation and the second
store command will be interpreted as
the first store command.
After a frequency has been stored in memory, it
will remain there until changed by using the STO switch.
Memory is retained even when the unit is turned off for
an extended period of time.
(5)
Stuck microphone switch. Each
time
the
push-to-talk
switch
is
depressed,
the
microprocessor in the transceiver starts a 2-minute
timer. (The TX annunciator on the transceiver control
unit will be illuminated when-ever the transmitter is
transmitting.) If the transmitter is still transmitting at the
end of 2 minutes, the microprocessor turns it off. Most
intentional transmissions last much less than 1 minute; a
2-minute transmission is most likely the result of a stuck
microphone switch. This timing feature protects the ATC
channel from long-term interference.
When
it
turns
off
the
transmitter,
the
microprocessor switches the transceiver to receive
operation. A stuck microphone switch will prevent you
from hearing received
