• Press the SCAN button - the channel scan is now done among the 5 stored
memory positions.
Dual Watch
The transceiver can also observe two channels. This feature is useful when You like
to stay on Your preferred “house” channel, but observe another channel at the same
time.
• Select Your house channel with rotary knob or Up/ Down.
• Press DW briefly.
DW
will appear in the display.
• Select the other channel with channel knob or Up or Down.
You will now hear the selected last channel (see number in display). Your receiver
switches now automatically again and again for a short moment to Your preferred
house channel. If a signal should be detected there, Dual Watch will stop switching
and You will hear the signal, otherwise it will go back to the other channel.
Emergency Channel CH 9
In the beginning of the CB radio the canal 9 (AM / FM) as an international emergency
call channel was fixed. Today truck drivers use the channel 9 AM mainly as a call
channel. Your AE 5090 XL has got a CH 9-key. When You push this button, only on
this channel transmitting and receiving is possible. When You push the key second
time, all the CB-channels are usable again.
Transmitting and correct use of microphone
With the transmission button (Push To Talk) on the side of the microphone You can
switch between receiving and transmitting:
•
Press PTT button to transmit.
The display shows TX .
• Release
PTT
button again to switch back to receiving.
Before transmitting the first time, make sure that the MIC gain potentiometer above
the mic socket is in the full clockwise position. When the transmission PTT button is
pressed, You can speak from a distance of about 5-10 cm into the microphone. The
modulation amplifier of Your AE 5090 XL is sensitive enough and enables You in
most cases to speak with even more distance, depending on how loud your voice is.
An automatic regulator ensures that your partner always hears your signal at the
same volume.
It is best to test the best distance from the microphone for Yourself with the help of
another station.
Bar graph switching between POWER and MOD
During transmitting, You will normally see the bar graph of the S-meter in the display
as indicator for Your transmitter output power.
•
Alternatively You may now switch with the
MOD-PWR
button to Modulation
display instead of Power display. The display shows MOD now.
• This will show Your modulation volume in the display and will help to check and
adjust the microphone.
• You can toggle with the switch between
MOD
and
POWER
display
