Menu options explained
This option will allow some default functions to be preset for the selected model.
When set to ON the screensaver won't be de-activated while tuning
Here you can change the communication speed with the display, can be useful if a distortion caused by the data to the display occurs
This will allow you to set the default volume level. Useful for DIY radios without volume knob. On portable devices, leave it at 0dB
When switched ON, you will here a beep when band edge is reached. You will also hear a beep when the edge of a shortwave band is reached.
The radio is capable of having full MPX output on the audio jack. Useful for analyzing stereo and RDS signals. Note, that the left channel is mono and only the right channel is full MPX.
For normal use, leave it on STEREO.
When High cut threshold is triggered a soft reduction of high tones will be applied. You can set the corner frequency here.
Here you can set the threshold for the soft reduction of high tones. It will be activated if the signal level drops below the set value.
Here you can select the menu language.
Set the preferred display brightness from 0 to 100%.
When ON, the squelch settings are showed in the main screen. When your radio doesn't have a squelch knob, you can set this to OFF.
With this option you can enable/disable the modulation meter. You can switch it off when you're receiving noise from the display hardware on weak signals. Switching off will reduce data to the display.
Here you can set your favorite color theme.
Select a value to set when the screensaver will start.
Select the option what to do when screensaver is triggered.
With this option you can set how to show the battery status. Switched off will show you a battery icon with a green fill, when battery goes lower, the green fill will reduce, you can also choose to show the voltage or percentage.
Here you can setup the units used for the signal meter. You can choose between dBµV, dBf or dBm.
Set the time when the radio will go to stand-by. This option is to reduce battery live when you leave the radio on unattended. The timer will be reset after every button press.
Set the threshold for RDS error processing. The higher value, the higher change RDS parsing contains errors. Can be useful on disturbed FM signals
Set the RDS region. When switched to America the PTY will be changed to RBDS and also a call-sign will be shown under the PI code.
This will replace with underscores in PS and RT texts.
This will enable or disable the RDS buffer filter in the TEF chip. Disable this to have a quicker RDS decoding, but this can cause some errors direct after tuning.
When enabled the PI code will also be shown, even when there are errors in the RDS data. Can be useful on weak FM signals. If the PI code decoding has errors, a question mark is shown next to the PI code.
Useful when you are on the road. When a certain threshold is reached, the radio will quickly scan for another transmitter with the same program, but with a better signal.
This will buffer the Radiotext and show it when the A/B flag changes. It will give you a more smooth display of Radiotext.
Enable this to automatically sort the AF list from lowest to highest frequency.
This will show the PS direct after tuning, even when all bytes are not received. This can cause missing characters direct after tuning, but gives you a faster PS.
Only useful when you have an external RF converter connected to the antenna input. Local oscillator value can be set between 200 and 2400MHz. For normal FM radio reception, leave it at 0MHz.
Set the low edge for the FM band
Set the high edge for the FM band
Here you can set the RF level offset. You can use this to compensate cable losses or antenna amplifier gain, so the signal meter gives you the right value
When the value is triggered, RDS will be disabled and data to the display slows down. Can be useful to prevent low signal stations disturbed by interference from the display.
When you switch this ON, the audio volume is reduced when static is received
Can (in some cases) be helpful to reduce interference from noise sources.
Set the default step size to 50 kHz, 100 kHz or 200 kHz.
Set the FM bands which should be available when toggling the bands with the band button
Select the right de-emphasis, set to 75 µS when you are receiving signals in South and North America.
Reduces audio volume when receiving static
Can (in some cases) be helpful to reduce interference from noise sources.
Adjust this to your needs. When using an active antenna the value should be negative. You can play with this value to get the best DSP performance on AM bands
Select the AM bands which should be available with the band selector
This will show the SW band next to the frequency, for example "49m".
Set the sensitivity for the AM CoChannel detector. When CoChannelling is detected it will be shown on the screen. It's only a detector, not a filter.
Set the threshold for the CoChannel detector
Antenna attenuator setting for AM
Set if you want to connect to XDRGTK or RDS Spy when using USB. When switched to XDRGTK, the baudrate is set to 115200 bps. When switched to RDS Spy, the baudrate is 19200 bps.
Enable or disable the WiFi connection. When the connection has established, your IP address is shown on this line.
Remark: If not configured so far, please use the next menu item.
Set the radio in Wi-Fi configuration. Follow the instructions by connect your smartphone or your PC to the temporary WiFi starting with ESP... Then you need to chose the preferred WiFi and type in the password.
You can also set the password for XDRGTK connection over IP.
Note: only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is supported.
When you use Stationlist (or Stationlist for Android), set the IP address of the device which runs Stationlist (for example, the IP address of your PC or Android phone)
When you have more radios connected to Stationlist (or Stationlist for Android), you can set the ID here. With this you can detect which radio is controlling Stationlist
