7 SCOPE FUNCTIONS

Touchscreen Tuning

This function enables signals to be received by touching the
desired point in the spectrum scope display area or waterfall
display area.
• When in the Auto Scroll mode and Fixed mode, touching a point
moves the marker to the corresponding frequency.
• When in the Center mode, touching a point sets the
corresponding frequency as the center frequency.

TX/RX Frequency Marker Display

The positions of the TX and RX frequencies are indicated as
markers on the bandscope screen.
During split operation, the TX frequency can be changed easily by
moving the TX frequency marker to the desired frequency while
monitoring the bandscope screen.
The markers are color coded as follows.
White: RX Frequency
Red: TX Frequency
The RX frequency before TF-SET is performed appears
●
as purple line while [TF-SET] is pressed.

Registering Frequency Marker

When a preferred frequency (up to 50 entries) is registered to the
frequency marker list, the registered frequency is indicated by a
marker on the bandscope (white dotted line). Registering the edge
frequency of the frequency band used in a band plan or during
contesting makes it easier to check the edge frequency on the
bandscope.
