Timed Transmission
Option
Timed Transmission Option
The TIMED TRANSMIT parameter, together with the TX PERIOD and
STANDBY PERIOD parameters, controls the radar’s timed transmission
power-saving mode.
When TIMED TRANSMIT is set to ON, the scanner performs the number of
scans specified by TX PERIOD and then shuts down for the number of min-
utes specified by STANDBY PERIOD. While it is shut down, the scanner does
not rotate, and the display is in stand-by.
Set the TIMED TX parameter to OFF for normal operation. In this case, the
TX PERIOD and STANDBY PERIOD values are ignored.
Note: Timed Transmission is not available on a Repeater Display.
Marks Options
You can select the mark symbol that will be used when you place a mark
(see Section 4.3).
If you turn the MARK DISPLAY option OFF, any marks you have placed are
hidden on the display, but retained in the marks database. You can turn the
option on again to display them at any time.
To clear all stored marks from the marks database, press the CLEAR MARKS
soft key, and the YES soft key to confirm the deletion.
Custom Scale
You can set up your own range scale. When switched ON,thisisused
instead of the Pathfinder Plus Radar default range scale (see Section 3.2).
To set up a scale, press the SET RANGES soft key. The Custom Range Setup
Menu is displayed, which allows you to change the maximum range for
each range selection.
The following table lists the ranges, shows the factory default setting, and
provides a space for you to make a note of your new setting.
