Changing a
Frequency
You can change a displayed frequency by pressing F and using the up arrow
button to increase the frequency and the down arrow button to decrease the
frequency. Press E to store the new frequency in channel memory.
Note: The default frequency increment is 100 Hz for scrolling. To change this
increment, access ALPHA 25.
Using the Manual
Channel
The manual channel allows you to create frequencies without worrying about
overwriting a frequency on another channel. This channel is defined as
channel 000. Frequency settings on the manual channel can be copied to a
fixed channel.
To copy the channel 000 data to another channel:
1. Press C and enter the 3-digit channel number to indicate where data is
stored.
2. Press C and E. This copies data from the manual channel to the new
channel. Data is retained in the manual channel.
Scanning (for TA/TC only)
Scan groups are arranged in the RT7000 according to number. You can have
up to 32 different scan groups in the transceiver at one time, each one having a
different scan group number. Each scan group can have up to 64 channels.
Because the RT7000 scans channels not frequencies, you must give all desired
frequencies in a particular scan group a channel number. Channel numbers are
not exclusive to a particular scan group; the same channel can be used in
different scan groups.
Selecting a Scan
Group
1. Do one of the following:
• If ALE is ON, press STATUS when the SCAN GROUP icon is
flashing or select (2) SCAN GRP from the ALE submenu.
• If ALE is OFF, press STATUS when the SCAN GROUP icon is
flashing or select ALPHA 15.
Display: SCAN GRP xxx
2. Use the arrows to scroll to the desired scan group number, or use the
keypad to enter the scan group number.
3. Press E. The display briefly indicates the new scan group. That group is
automatically saved in memory.
Display: SCAN GRP xxx
(where xxx is the new scan group)
This becomes the specified scan group when using menu functions.
