SEEK FUNCTION
DESCRIPTION
The etón E1 incorporates a SEEK function which
allows the user to search for signals in VFO, MEMORY
or COUNTRY mode which have signal strengths that
exceed a predetermined level which the user deter-
mines by the setting of the SQUELCH knob.
VFO MODE
To use SEEK in VFO mode, proceed as follows:
(1)Select the frequency range you would like to scan.
This can be FM, MW, LW, or SW.
(2)Set the SQUELCH control so that the Squelch Level
Indicator (located below the signal strength
indicator) is set at the desired level.
(3)Press the ‘SEEK’ key. The receiver will scan through
the selected band in 5 kHz steps on LW band, 9 or
10 kHz steps on MW band, 5 kHz steps on SW
band, and 200 kHz steps on FM band. Signals that
are strong enough to cause the signal strength
indicator display bars to extend further to the right
than the Squelch Level indicator will cause SEEK to
stop on that signal, and the signal will be heard.
(4)The receiver will remain on that signal until the
‘SEEK’ key is pressed again.
(5)If the receiver continues to SEEK but cannot find a
signal, you may press ‘SEEK’ again to stop the
SEEK.
MEMORY & COUNTRY MODE
To use SEEK in MEMORY and COUNTRY modes, select-
ed frequencies must be programmed into several of
the MEMORY and/or COUNTRY channels. Programming
of MEMORY channels is covered on page 26 and pro-
gramming of COUNTRY channels is covered on page
28. Once MEMORY and/or COUNTRY channels are pro-
grammed as desired, proceed as follows:
(1)Press the ‘MEMORY’ or ‘COUNTRY’ softkey to enter
the desired mode.
(2)Set the ‘SQUELCH’ knob to the desired level. (HINT:
Set the ‘SQUELCH’ control high enough (clockwise)
