Frequency Selection
Frequency selection in the RCI-5054DX can be accomplished using any
three of the following methods :
1. The first method of frequency selection uses the SHF (Shift ) key and the
UP and DOWN arrows. To accomplish this, press the SHF button until the
cursor arrow is positioned under the digit of the frequency that is to be
changed. Then use the UP arrow to Increase the number. If a decrease in
frequency is desired, press the DOWN arrow. Perform the steps
described above for each digit of the frequency is displayed in the LCD
display window.
2. The second method of frequency selection is performed using the SHF
button and the frequency select knob located above the microphone jack.
Use the SHF button in the manner described above to select the digit to
be changed. Then rotate the frequency select knob clockwise to increase
the frequency and counterclockwise to decrease the frequency.
3. The third method of frequency selection is through the use of the SHF
button and the channel UP and DOWN button located on the microphone.
Frequency selection by this method is accomplished in the same manner
as with the UP and DOWN arrows on the key pad. The only difference is
that the channel UP and DOWN buttons on the microphone are used.
Once a signal has been detected on a particular frequency while in receive
mode, it may be necessary to slightly change the frequency to provide the
best audio. This is accomplished by rotating the clarifier control, varying the
frequency by + 0.5 KHz. After fine tuning, press the LOCK button to lock in
the frequency at the point of best reception.
