HF Radio Scan Delay Timer:

This timer determines how quickly the HF radio will scan by controlling how long it waits before

sending the next frequency step. Smaller timer values make it scan more quickly. It affects all

three scan step sizes (slow, medium and fast) equally. It also has an effect on how quickly other

changes are sent to the radio, although reasonable changes in that time won't be very noticeable.

There is a limit to how quickly the controller can send command to the radio, so if setting this timer

to a smaller value doesn't increase the scan speed past a certain point, you have probably reached

that limit.

Some radios such as the Yaesu FT-767 require an acknowledgement to be sent after every

command. This causes them to scan only half as fast as other radios given the same scan timer

setting (since the controller has to send the frequency command and the acknowledgement for each

step). When using those radios, you may wish to set the scan timer to about 1/2 the length you

would for other radios.

- This timer is programmed in 10mS Increments from 001-9999

Small DVR (DVR2) Timer - For Internal Use Only:

This timer is used to keep the DVR2 from recording past the end of tracks and to determine how

far to back up when it deletes noise at the end of a recording caused by unkeying or pressign a

DTMF digit. Its length is automatically set by the controller each time you record, so there is no

reason to set it yourself.
