KEY6
(
FAST
)]
Key
Use this key when you want to increase the antenna
rotation speed. Normally, you will use the “100 %”
value; once 100 % is selected, you typically will not
need to use this key.
[
KEY7
(
MAP
)]
Key
This key switches the Display between the Great Circle
Map and the regular Rotator Control compass display.
Advice: If the Great Circle display is utilized, you prob-
ably already know the approximate location of the
other station on the map; so even if the country name
and the city name are not entered into the radio, the
Great Circle Map provides a convenient tool for rotat-
ing the antenna to the optimum heading.
If your own location is not indicated at the center of
the Great Circle Map, please set the local time (which
registers the location where the radio is operated). If
this is not done, the various functions of the World
clock and Great Circle Map will not function correctly.
Regarding the setting of the Local time, please see the
“PLEASE READ THIS FIRST” section.

Key

key.

The following Menu Item must be set to match the starting point of your rotator control indicator needle. The
default setting is zero (north). If your controller starting point is south, then the menu must be set to 180 degrees. If
not set properly the DMU-2000 display will not show the correct direction.
