- 12 - Operation (Continued) Frequency Selection Frequency selection in the RCI-5054DX can be accomplished using any one of the following three methods: 1. The first method of frequency selection uses the SHF (Shift) key and the ▲ (UP)/ ▼ (DOWN) keys located on the front panel .
- 14 - Chapter 5 Programming Receive Scanning The receive scanning feature helps locate active frequencies within a preprogrammed band segment anywhere on the 6 Meter band (refer to SCANNING, page 16). To begin scanning, slowly turn the Squelch control clockwise until the receiver noise disappears.
- 16 - . Chapter 6 Frequency Scanning Frequency scanning can be achieved by either of two methods: the first method involves scanning of all frequencies between a pre-set upper and lower scan frequency. The second method permits the scanning of frequencies previously programmed in the memory locations 0 thru 9.
- 18 - Chapter 7 Offset (Split) Frequency Operation The split frequency function offsets the transmitter frequency either above or below the receiver frequency by a user-programmable amount. This is necessary for op erating on FM repeaters. In the following example, the programmi ng of a 1 MHz offset will be described.
