8.6 SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL SELECTION
In the following description of SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL SELECTION, the term group is used
for both group and channel.
The M7300 SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob and the
ramp control are programmable for
maximum flexibility. If the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob is assigned to select groups, then the
ramp control is assigned to select systems. If the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob is assigned
to select systems, then the
ramp control is assigned to select groups. System, group, and channel
selection is the primary function for these controls.
Either systems or groups can also be selected by entering the select mode and following the selection
mode rules described earlier. The system select or group select modes are entered by pressing SYS or
GRP, respectively, from the standard receive mode. Using the
ramp control after entering a
particular selection mode in this manner is the secondary function of these keys.
8.6.1 System Selection
Several methods, some of which depend on programming, can be used to select a new system. These
procedures are presumed to be starting from the normal receive display.
METHOD 1:
If system selection is programmed to the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, select a
system by turning the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob to the desired system
position. The display registers the new system name on line 1. If the wrap option is OFF
and the knob is moved to a position greater than the number of programmed systems, the
highest programmed system will remain selected.
METHOD 2:
If system selection is programmed as the primary function of the
ramp control,
select a system by pressing up or down to scroll through the system list. The display
registers the new system name on line 1.
METHOD 3: Press SYS to enter the system select mode and follow the selection mode rules detailed
earlier. Use the
ramp control to scroll through the systems.
8.6.2 Group and Channel Selection
Several methods, some of which depend on programming, can be used to select a new group or channel.
These procedures assume starting from the normal receive display.
METHOD 1:
If group selection is programmed to the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, select a
group by turning the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob to the desired group. The
display registers the new group name on line 2. If the wrap option is OFF and the knob
is moved to a position greater than the number of programmed groups, the highest
programmed group will remain selected.
