 PACKET CLUSTER TUNE
PACKET CLUSTER TUNE FUNCTION
DX Packet Cluster is a packet network consisting of
nodes and stations who are interested in DXing and
contesting.  If one station finds a DX station on the air,
he or she sends a notice to his or her node.   This node
then passes the information to all its local stations as
well as to another node.  This transceiver can display
received DX information and hold the latest information
on up to 10 DX stations.

busy.  You will see up to 21 segments, for each channel,
that represent 7 S-meter levels (3 segments per level).
You can determine the scan range by selecting the
center frequency and the number of channels.  The
default number of channels is 61.

configurations.  Later you can quickly recall one of these
memories, depending on the operations you have in
mind or the operating environment.
PROGRAMMABLE INFORMATION
The following settings can be separately stored for the
main transceiver and sub-receiver:The following settings are shared by both the main...
