Manual tuning can be done in several ways. Let’s start with the tuning knob:
Place the mouse cursor onto the upper half of the tuning knob, at which point
you will see the cursor change to a curved double ended arrow.
Hold down the right or left mouse buttons to increase or decrease the
frequency, and the knob will rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise, respectively.
If you place your cursor onto the bottom half of the tuning knob, the direction of
the rotation will reverse. (You don’t need to move the cursor up or down to
change the rotation of the knob, simply press either the left or right mouse
button.)
The rotation increment of the tuning knob is 1 kHz. This can be changed easily
using the Alt, Shift or Ctrl keys: If you press the Alt key while tuning, the
increment will decrease ten times (to 100 Hz). Pressing Shift will decrease the
increment a hundred times (10 Hz). And if you use the Ctrl key, the increment
becomes a thousand times smaller: 1 Hz.
Another way of tuning is to use the up and down arrow keys on the PC
keyboard. The Alt, Shift and Ctrl keys can be used to a similar effect as with
the tuning knob, to modify the frequency increment step.
If your mouse has a wheel (as we would recommend), you can also use this;
you might find it somewhat similar to using the tuning knob of a conventional
receiver. And again, the Alt, Shift and Ctrl keys, when used together with the
mouse wheel, modify the tuning step accordingly.
If you press the Shift key while hovering with your mouse cursor over the
individual digits of the main frequency display, the display enters a different
mode and you can change the digits using the mouse wheel – another
convenient way of quickly tuning to the frequency you want.
