Aurora User’s Manual
CHANNEL DISPLAY MODE
If you have an Aurora radio with a display, you can select how the
radio displays the current channel information:
• Priority channel/deleted channel specifier
(first display character position)
P = Group priority channel
Select in scanlist
p = Group priority channel
Delete from scanlist
“ ” = Not group priority channel
Select in scanlist
d = Not group priority channel
Delete from scanlist
• Current Group Number
GXX = display character position 2–4
XX = group number 1 through 15
• Current Channel Number
CHYY = display character position 6–9
YY = channel number 1 through 16
• Channel Spacing
n = narrow band
w = wide band
• Variable Guard reassignment
ZZ = display character position 13–14
ZZ = reassigned Code Guard channel,
between 1 and 16
For example, the display to the left shows
group 8 is tuned to channel 12 (which
happens to be the group’s priority channel,
which is currently deleted from the scan list).
The Code Guard has been reassigned to the
Code Guard on channel 2, and the radio is
tuned using wide band channel spacings.
