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, this is used
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.
