The CHAN menu provides the following options (see also Figure 6):

• GET GET retrieves a channel already programmed in MICOM-3. Retrieving a channel retrieves all the parameters defined for that channel. You can store these parameters as a new channel using the STOR function, and then edit the parameters as required.

• STOR Store the current set of parameters in a selected channel.

Note

GET and STOR are used to copy the channel parameters from one channel to another.

• ERAS ERAS is used to delete (erase) a channel. Actually, this action only replaces the user-modified parameters of the channel with the factory-default parameters, but marks the channel as not programmed.

• PWR Select the channel transmit power level. Four transmit power levels can be selected:

• LOW – 25 W nominal

• MED – 62.5 W nominal

• HIGH – 100 W nominal

• MAX – 125 W nominal.

• FREQ Select the channel frequency. MICOM-3 offers four frequency options:

• SMPX (Simplex Frequency): the same frequency is used for both transmission and reception.

• DPLX (Duplex Frequency): transmits on one frequency and receives on a different frequency.

• RXO (Receiving Only Frequency): defines a frequency for reception only.

Transmission on that frequency is disabled.

• TXO (Transmitting Only Frequency): defines a frequency for transmission only. You cannot receive on that frequency.

Programming the Radio Parameters

Note

The available frequency ranges are: • Reception: 100 kHz to 30 MHz.

• Transmission: 1.6 to 30 MHz.

• BAND Select the channel SSB mode:

• USB – upper sideband mode

• LSB – lower sideband mode.

• MODE Select the channel radio operating mode:

• SSB – single sideband

• AME – amplitude modulation equivalent

• PLT – single sideband with pilot signal.

• AGC Select the channel Automatic Gain Control mode. MICOM-3 offers two AGC response speeds: SLOW and FAST. You can also turn the AGC OFF completely.

• BW Select the default channel filter bandwidth:

• 2.1 K

• 2.7 K

• 3.0 K

• 3.3 K

• LSM (Low Speed Modem)

• CW (Continuous Wave). The bandwidth used in this case is selected by
