197: Set/Recall Transmit/Scan Band Edges

This command allows you to set and recall the edges of the frequency ranges that you are allowed

to transmit in and within which the scanning function will loop. These two features are completely

separate: they are stored separately and they operate independently, although the frequency ranges

for both are set with this command.

Transmit Edges: The controller will let you receive on any frequency, but only transmit within the

transmit edges that you set up with this command. This protects you from accidently transmitting

on a frequency you shouldn't.

Scan Edges: The controller will let you start scanning from any frequency. Since you will often

want to focus on a small frequency range, it will also allow you set a more limited range to scan

within. This is the purpose of the scan band edges. Even if you started scanning from a frequency

that was not within any of the scan bands, if you are scanning up and reach the top edge of a scan

band, it will automatically loop to the bottom edge and continue scanning. If it reaches the bottom

edge of a scan band, it will automatically loop to the top edge. It will speak the current frequency

immediately before and after looping.

197 e Recall Edges for all Bands

197 e c Set Edges for all Bands for a Class (novice..amateur extra)

197 e bb Recall Edges for one Band

197 e bb c Set Edges for one Band for a Class

197 e bb u f..f*f..f Set Upper or Lower Edge for one Band to a Specific

Frequency

Parameters:

e = 0 to set a transmit band edge(s), 1 for a scan band edge(s)

c = Class to set edge(s) to. You can find out what the edges are for each class by setting

them then recalling them with this command.
