4-3.1 Programming Channels
The Channel programming menu includes two groups of options:
• GET and STOR are used to copy the channel parameters from one selected channel to another,
and ERAS is used to delete the user-configured parameters of a selected channel.
• The other options are used to configure the operational parameters to be used on the channel
being configured.
To enter the Channel Programming mode:
1. Enter the Radio Programming menu.
2. Press CHAN.
The CHAN menu provides the following options (see also Figure 4-1):
Option Description
GET
GET retrieves all the parameters defined for a channel already programmed in Micom-Z
(the default is the current channel, but you can select any other channel).
You can store these parameters in a new channel using the STOR function, and then edit
the parameters as required.
STOR
Store the set of parameters in a selected channel.
ERAS
ERAS is used to delete (erase) a channel. Actually, this action only replaces the user-
modified parameters of the channel with the factory-default parameters, but marks the
channel as not programmed.
The factory-default parameter values are as follows:
• Rx Frequency 15.000.00 MHz
• Tx Frequency 15.000.00 MHz
• SSB Mode USB
• Bandwidth 2.7
• Tx Power MAX
• AGC SLOW.
PWR
Select the channel transmit power level. Four transmit power levels can be selected:
• LOW – 25 W nominal
• MED – 60 W nominal
• HIGH – 100 W nominal
• MAX – 125 W nominal.
FREQ
Select the channel frequency. Micom-Z offers four frequency options:
• SMPX
Simplex Frequency – the same frequency is used for both transmission
and reception.
• DPLX
Duplex Frequency – transmits on one frequency and receives on a
different frequency.
• RXO
Receiving Only Frequency – defines a frequency for reception only.
Transmission on that frequency is disabled. The available frequency range
is 100 kHz to 30 MHz.
• TXO
Transmitting Only Frequency – defines a frequency for transmission only.
You cannot receive on that frequency. The available frequency range is
1.6 to 30 MHz.
BAND
Select the channel operating sideband:
• USB – upper sideband mode
• LSB – lower sideband mode.
