| - | ====== Model 2591 Transceiver Basic Operation ====== | ||
| - | **From the Ten-Tec Reflector October 10, 2001** | ||
| - | Here is the basic operation for the 2591 HT. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ***Clear the display:** It is best to start with the display showing all zeros. Push C a few times to get to a 0000 readout and stop any scans. | ||
| - | ***Frequency selection:** Simply key in the last four digits. My local repeater is 146.775, so I just enter 4775. 146.52 would be 6520. | ||
| - | ***Offset selection:** The little +/S/- switch on the top does the trick. | ||
| - | ***Memorize a frequency and offset:** Enter a frequency, set the offset switch, then push F(function), MR(Memory Recall) and the memory(1-9) you want to put it in . Pushing F accesses the secondary of the MR button, which is MW (Memory Write). This works for memories 1 thru 9. The offsets ARE memorized. Memory 0 can do an odd split but I can't remember how to do it right now. | ||
| - | ***Recall a frequency and offset:** Push MR (memory recall) then the desired memory number. | ||
| - | ***Display Toggle:** Push F then C (clear) to access the secondary function CH (Channel) This switches the display between memorized frequency and memorized channel. | ||
| - | ***Memory Scan:** Push MS (memory scan) and off you go. | ||
| - | ***Memory Scan Cancel:** Push C to cancel. | ||
| - | ***Memory Lockout:** Push F then F again to get the secondary function of ML (memory lockout), then the channel number of the memory you want to lock out. Scanning will now skip that channel. | ||
| - | ***Memory Lockout Cancel:** Push F, then 9 to access the secondary function LC (lockout cancel) | ||
| - | ***Scanning a frequency range, AKA Program Scan:** | ||
| - | *Set lower scan limit: Key in desired limit, then push F then the down arrow key. The F key selects the LWR (lower limit) secondary function. | ||
| - | *Set upper scan limit: Key in desired limit, then push F then the up arrow key. The F key selects the UPR (upper limit) secondary function. | ||
| - | *Set scan step: Push F, then 0 to access the secondary function STEP. Then use the up arrow key to step through the available settings (5/10/15/25/30.) I'm not sure, but I think you then push F 0 again to memorize the scan step. | ||
| - | *Start a program scan: After you have a freq range and step set up, push F then MS to access the secondary function PS (program scan) | ||
| - | *Stop a scan: Keying the HT stops any scan. | ||
| - | *You can also run the frequency up or down by using the up or down arrow keys.** | ||
| - | *The Hold/Skip (Tone) switch works when you scan. Hold pauses the scan until the carrier drops. Skip lets the scan continue after a few seconds. Tone was intended to be used to turn an internal PL on and off, but that never happened. | ||
| - | |||
| - | When you compare this to the convoluted programming procedures of the other HTs of this era, this one is very intuitive once you figure out what the key legends mean. | ||
