Robotron Pty Ltd G5E Manuel D’Utilisation

This type of fixed-size stepping is convenient if you wish to explore a 
frequency band where the channels are equally separated. However, you 
should ensure that the stepping frequencies fall on the actual channel 
frequencies in the band. If you know the channel separation but are unsure 
about the exact frequency of the first channel, tune to an active channel using 
manual tuning first, and only then step up or down in fixed steps. 

The Auto button engages Auto-stepping, which provides a significant 
enhancement over fixed stepping.  When properly configured, auto-stepping 
will automatically set the step size according to the frequency you are tuned to. 
Auto-stepping can be also used to associate particular mode and squelch 
settings with specified frequency ranges. 

To configure the auto-stepping ranges, go to Options | Autostepping in the 
top bar menu. The following window opens: 

 

You can use the New button to add a new range. For each range, you need to 
specify the start and end of the range, step size, and optionally mode, squelch 
and description. You can specify as many such bands as you like. 

When done, close the window.  

Next time when you tune to a frequency, and the Auto button is pressed, the 
step size (and optionally mode and squelch) will be set to the predefined value 
if the new frequency falls within a specified auto-step range.
