E1 DISPLAY DESCRIPTION continued

E1 MANUAL

10. MHz / kHz

Indicates whether the frequency displayed is shown in

megahertz or kilohertz.

11. MENU

Labels the ‘MENU’ softkey which is used to bring up a

series of menus. Repeatedly pressing this key will

advance through additional menu pages.

12. AGC

Labels the ‘AGC’ (Automatic Gain Control) softkey and

shows its release time status (Slow, Fast, or Auto).

Auto mode selects SLOW release time but automatical-

ly switches to fast release only while tuning.

13. BW

Labels the Bandwidth softkey and shows its status

(2.3, 4.0, or 7.0 kHz).

14. PBT

Labels the ‘PBT’ softkey. The ‘PBT’ softkey enables and

disables the ‘PBT’ (Passband Tuning) knob.W hen the

softkey is enabled, its frequency displacement relative

to nominal is shown above “PBT”. The reading will be

between +2.0 and - 2.0 kHz.

15. AM

Labels the ‘AM’ softkey, and shows its status. The ‘AM’

softkey enables AM mode. When AM is enabled,“AM”

appears over the “AM” softkey label. If the softkey is

pressed a second time, “AM SYNC” appears over the

“AM” label to indicate that the synchronous detector

is operating.

16. SSB

This labels the ‘SSB’ softkey and shows its status.

Pressing the ‘SSB’ softkey enables single sideband

reception, causing either “USB” or “LSB” to appear

above the “SSB” label. Pressing the ‘SSB’ softkey again

after SSB is selected will toggle the display between

“USB” and “LSB”. When AM SYNC has been selected,

pressing the ’SSB’ softkey will toggle through the

modes of the AM synchronous detector: USB, LSB and

DSB.

17. COUNTRY

This labels the ‘COUNTRY’ softkey. When this softkey is

pressed, Country mode is selected and the label

appears as “COUNTRY”.

18. TUN LOCK

This indicator appears when the ‘FAST / TUNING LOCK’

softkey has been pressed for 2 seconds. It indicates

that the ‘TUNING’ knob has been locked out and will

have no affect.

19. MEMORY

This labels the ‘MEMORY’ softkey. W hen this softkey is

pressed, MEMORY mode is selected and the label

appears as “MEMORY”.

20. VFO

This labels the ‘VFO’ softkey. W hen this softkey is

pressed, the receiver returns to the VFO mode from

COUNTRY or MEMORY modes, but the frequency being

received from the MEMORY or COUNTRY modes is not

transferred. The frequency displayed will be the same

as was last being received when last in VFO mode. The

indicator will appear as “VFO” when VFO mode is

active.

21. MW / LW

This indicator labels the ‘MW / LW’ select softkey.

Pressing this softkey will select either MW (AM

Broadcast) or LW (Long Wave) frequency ranges.

Repeatedly pressing this softkey will toggle between

these two modes. Depending upon the mode selected,

this indicator will appear either as “MW / LW” or

“MW / LW”.

22. SW BAND

This indicator labels the ‘SW BAND’ softkey. Pressing

this softkey once selects the SW (Short Wave) band

(1.8 - 30.0 MHz). This gives an indication of “SW

BAND” on the display. Pressing this softkey a second

time causes the display to appear as “SW BAND”, and

permits the tuning knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ key to

scroll through the available meter bands as shown on

the “Shortwave Band Designator” table on page 16. If

no movement of the ‘TUNING’ knob or input to the ‘<

SELECT >’ key occurs for 3 seconds, the display will

revert back to “SW BAND” and normal tuning will

resume.

23. FM / AUX

This labels the ‘FM / AUX’ select softkey. Pressing this

softkey once selects the FM Broadcast band (76 - 90

MHz or 87 - 108 MHz) and causes the indicator to

appear as “FM / AUX“. The second press of this soft-

key activates the AUX mode and causes the indicator

to appear as “FM / AUX“. Selecting this mode enables

audio fed in the LINE IN jack on the side panel to be

fed through to the E1 receiver’s audio system.

24. XM

This indicator labels the ‘XM’ softkey. Pressing this key

activates the optional XM Satellite Radio mode. When

XM is activated, the basic XM radio display will appear.

If XM is not installed, an error beep will be heard, and

“CHECK ANTENNA” will appear on the display.

The following section describes the main display which

will be seen when operating in the VFO mode, This is

the display which the user will see most of the time.

There are several other screens which may appear on

this display under various conditions. These additional

conditions will be covered later.

1. SIGNAL

The signal meter indicates the signal strength of the

incoming signal. The stronger the signal, the more ver-

tical bars appear from left to right across the display.

From 100 through 30,000 kHz, the signal meter is cali-

brated in S units from 1 thru 9 and in decibels (dB)

above S9 up to +60 dB. On the FM band, the signal

strength is just relative.

2. SQUELCH LEVEL INDICATOR

This bar advances as the ‘SQUELCH’ knob is turned

clockwise. It indicates the level at which the incoming

signal is strong enough to overcome the SQUELCH set-

ting. If the SQUELCH muting is enabled (which is done

by menu) a signal level that is higher than the

SQUELCH setting will be audible, while one that is

below the SQUELCH setting will not. A signal stronger

than the SQUELCH setting will cause scanning to stop

on that frequency if the “CARRIER” stop mode is

selected in the “RADIO SETTINGS” menu (item 2).

3. INTERNAL/EXTERNAL ANTENNA INDICATOR

EXT ANT or INT ANT will be displayed depending upon

whether or not the mode in use (FM or HF) has its

respective antenna switch on the side panel in the

internal or external position.

E1 DISPLAY DESCRIPTION

4. DX

This indicator appears when the DX key is pressed,

indicating that an RF preamplifier has been enabled to

improve performance on weak signals. The DX setting

will slightly reduce battery life when operating on bat-

tery power.

5. SEEK

This indicator is visible when the SEEK mode is enabled

by pressing the SEEK key.

6. VFO STORED

This indicator appears when the ‘TUNE’ softkey is

pressed. The ‘TUNE’ softkey is active in the COUNTRY

and MEMORY modes.

7. FREQUENCY DISPLAY

This is the main frequency readout of the receiver.

8. SW -- M

Indicates the meter band to which the receiver is tuned

when in SW mode. See the “Shortwave Band

Designators” table on page 22 for a listing of meter

bands. LW, MW or FM also appear here when those

bands are selected.

9. STEREO

STEREO or MONO appear here when on the FM band.

STEREO will appear if stereo is enabled from the

“AUDIO SETTINGS” menu, and a stereo signal is being

received.
