Aurora User’s Manual
RECEIVE MODE
Groups
A channel group can have up to 16 tunable
channels (both receive and transmit
frequencies). The basic Aurora radio has one
group, and the advanced Aurora (with
keyboard and display) has from 1 to 15
groups, depending on the computer
programming. Although the maximum
allowable channels per group is 16, any
number less than that, down to one channel,
can be programmable in a group.
For advanced model radios, you enter group-
change mode by following these three steps:
1. Put the radio into receive mode by not
transmitting.
2. Press the [H]ome key while in receive
mode. The display will show “Group
XX” where XX is the current channel
group.
Note: If the radio is scanning when you
enter group-change mode, the radio will
be temporarily disabled until you exit
group-change mode.
3. Once the radio is in group change mode,
the only active front keypad keys are:
•[ ] Changes the radio to the next
highest group, or if the radio is
already at the highest group, it
wraps around to Group 1
•[ ] Changes the radio to the next
lowest group, or if the radio is
already at group 1, the group
wraps around to the highest
channel group
