General Transceiver Instructions
Front panel buttons & Controls
| Button Marking | Meaning | Button Function | Other relevant button actions |
| RIT Off | Receive Incremental Tuning Off | Returns the Receive and Transmit frequencies to the Main Tune frequency. The Incremental frequency remains the same. | Clear resets the Incremental to zero |
| IRT | Incremental Receive Transmit | This adds or subtracts the selected Incremental frequency displayed from the Received Frequency on the main tuning. | |
| ITT | Incremental Transmit Transmit | This adds or subtracts the selected Incremental frequency displayed from the Transmit Frequency on the main tuning. | |
| IRTT | Incremental Receive & Transmit Transmit | This adds or subtracts the selected Incremental frequency displayed from BOTH Receive and Transmit Frequency on the main tuning. | |
| PreAtt | Pre-amplifier / Attenuator / Through Selection | By pressing selects either the Pre-amplifier or Attenuator or Through functionality | |
| Mode | Transceiver operating mode | By pressing selects either USB, LSB, CW-Wide (SSB filter) or CW-Narrow (Narrow CW filter) | |
| < Band & Band > | Band selection down or up | Move up or down bands. Note: A function exists in the Function menu to select theway this ‘hops’ bands in either CW or SSB or both CW and SSB segments. | See Functions elsewhere |
| < Mem & Mem > | Memory selection down or up | Move up or down in memory. Currently there are 100 + 100 different memories. (Many more are possible) | |
| VFO > Mem | Program Memory | Programs the VFO frequency on the main tuning to the to Memory selected / displayed. | Set button to confirm |
| Mem > VFO | Memory Recall | Recalls the Memory selected / displayed to the main tuning frequency | Set button to confirm |
| Mem T/P | Select Temporary or Permanent Memory banks | There are two types of memory banks, Temporary and Permanent each with 100 memories. Temporary memories are useful for scanning bands for DX and saving them to come back to later, say when there is less QRM or QSB. temporary memories are lost when the set is powered down. Permanent memories are favourites and saved over power down. | Set / Clear |
| Set | Set / Commit a function or memory etc. | ||
| Clear | Clear a function or memory etc. | ||
| Keyer / Linear | CW Keyer and Linear Delay | The Keyer Function selects the CW keyer speed from 0 upwards. The Linear Function selects the Linear Amplifier relay delay: ) (off), 100 to 1000mS steps | Set / Clear |
| SPOT | Net on CW | By pressing this button OnAir (Actual power from the transmitter) is disabled, allowing the tuned frequency to be ‘netted’ to the received CW station’s actual frequency without interfering with the any station. | |
| Power | Output Power | Output Power adjustment. There is also a maximum power allowed ‘Per Band’ function. See notes elsewhere | |
| Func | Function | This Function button cycles through a menue of ‘other’ functions. There is also a another normally hidden menu of ‘Cal Features’ used when setting up the HamPiRadio that once used should not need to be accessed again except for recalibration or maintenance. | See text |
| Tune / Lock | Re-enable tuning or Lock Dial | Whenever the Func button is pressed the main tuning dial becomes the Function dial. To return at any time to tuning, or to Lock the tuning dial from accidental movement in tuning mode this button is pressed. |
