Scanner
The scanner should be able to scan about 20 frequencies per second, as it requires about 50ms to stabilize after re-tuning.
The scanner will stop into any frequency carrying a signal strong enough. You can adjust the signal power threshold with the SQUELCH.
For better scanning precision, once a frequency with a powerful enough signal is found, the scanner will analyze it for some extra milliseconds, in order to confirm that the signal is still present (and not a spurious peak).
The big numbers display will show the frequency value currently being scanned, using the following color code criteria:
- GREY scanning
- YELLOW analyzing possible signal
- GREEN found a strong enough signal
The application parses FREQMAN\SCANNER.TXT
by default. You can use the Frequency manager app (Tools -> Freq managern) to add more entries to that list.
Alternatively, you are able to manually input a scanning range "on the fly" by keying in START and END frequencies, while adjusting the STEP selector.
You can select between AM (DSB+9k, DSB+6k, USB+3k, LSB-3k, CW), NFM and WFM modulation modes.
There are six buttons at the bottom of the screen, useful for the following tasks:
- Manually Pause / Resume the scanning
- Change scanning direction
- Jump into the MIC TX RX app (2-WAY Radio)
- Jump into the RX->AUDIO app (for further analysis)
- Delete the current frequency on display from the (temporary) scanning memory
- Add the current frequency into the SCANNER.TXT file
