CW Trainer

CW Trainer This plug-in will train your CW (Morse Code) skills. It can be used as beginner or advanced CW operator. The idea is to train your CW hearing capabilities at high speed. It is based on the KOCH method and provides continuous training for 2-40 characters over 10-60 WPM. The actual and effective speed is adjustable individually. The tone can be set over the entire CW tone interval. Beginners start with 2 characters and work themselves up in speed and readability. Then increase slowly the number of characters like 3, 4, 5 etc giving each set of combinations some serious practice time.

G5RV New (10-80m)

G5RV (New Upgraded model) The G5RV was designed by Louis Varney, who held the amateur radio callsign, G5RV. The design was originally devised in 1946, but it was not until 1958 that it was published when it appeared in the July 1958 RSGB Bulletin. The G5RV antenna is a classical antenna in our series of HS4 Legendary Multiband Wire Antennas. It covers 7 bands, 10-12-15-17-20-40-80m. Unlike typical antennas, this is a non-resonant, Center-fed antenna. The performance characteristics are quite outstanding. The antenna consists of symmetrical lengths horizontal radiating elements being driven at the center feedpoint through a 600 Ohm open ladder transmission line (TL) of a pre-determined length. The principle of a G5RV antenna utilizes the ladder TL section to help produce the required impedance transformation for taming the SWR to workable limits. This antenna need an antenna tuner for proper operation however a 12:1 broadband Balun is required to transform the 600 Ohm feeder impedance to 50 Ohm unbalanced for further coax run.. The overall gain on all bands is good with adequate low angle radiation for great DX. This antenna is deployed at a height of 12m (40 ft.) above average quality ground and the design accounts for ground absorption losses, antenna wire insulation dielectric losses, other structural losses, etc. The antenna produces multiple lobes covering wide azimuth sections on most bands but it also produces several deep nulls along the azimuth. Several bands may have deep nulls in the direction of the default beam heading. Hence, the owner of this antenna will need to find the optimum direction of the radiation lobe on each band to leverage the main lobe which provides maximum gain. This may be on either side of the default beam heading. It may either be achieved by experimentation during the process of familiarizing the antenna characteristics or by referring to the exhaustive set of specifications with graphics and gain map given below... Happy DXing! Interesting facts: As the antenna was originally designed in 1946 when the number of bands was much less than it is now it was designed to meet the needs of the then bands: 80 metres, 40 metres, 20 metres and 10 metres. At that time 15, 12 or 17 metres were not allocated amateur radio bands so additions such as matching networks have been done to the original construction.

Multi-band Trap Dipole (10-80m)

Multi-band Trap Dipole The Trap Dipole antenna is a classical antenna in our series of HS4 Legendary Multiband Wire Antennas. It covers 6 bands, 10-15-20-30-40-80m. This is multi-band resonant antenna The performance characteristics is similar to a normal dipole and is driven through a 50 Ohm coaxial cable and features low SWR on all bands. The radiation pattern is bidirectional with broadside lobes. The traps in a trap dipole are parallel-resonant tuned circuits that "trap" an RF signal to prevent it from passing beyond a specific point on a conductor (a wire, a metal tube, etc). At some other frequencies, however, the traps no longer act like “traps” and instead allow the RF to pass. A trap-style antenna is not quite as efficient as a full-size dipole. Our Multi band dipole is a typical 6-band trap dipole antenna using 3 traps och each side. The traps block RF at a specific frequency, or allow it to pass. From an electrical standpoint, this effectively lengthens or shortens the antenna. This antenna is deployed at a height of 12m (40 ft.) above average quality ground and the design accounts for ground absorption losses, antenna wire insulation dielectric losses, other structural losses, etc.

W8JK Bi-dir (10-20m)

W8JK Bi-directional Antenna The W8JK is a famous and effective DX antenna first built by John Kraus, W8JK, in 1937. Kraus built the first W8JK beam antenna with two parallel dipoles driven with opposite phase, with the unprecedented close spacing of an eighth of a wavelength. The W8JK antenna is a classical antenna in our series of HS4 Legendary Multiband Wire Antennas. It covers 5 bands, 10-12-15-17-20m. Unlike typical antennas, this is a non-resonant, center-fed antenna. The performance characteristics are absolutely outstanding. The antenna consists of two symmetrical length horizontal radiating elements being driven at 180 degrees out of phase at a common feedpoint through a 450 Ohm slotted ladder transmission line (TL). The principle of a W8JK utilizes the radiating elements and the ladder line section of pre-defined length for taming the SWR to workable limits. This antenna needs an antenna tuner for proper operation. The overall gain on all bands is very good with adequate low angle radiation for great DX. This antenna is deployed at a height of 12m (40 ft.) above average quality ground and the design accounts for ground absorption losses, antenna wire insulation dielectric losses, other structural losses, etc. The most important feature of this antenna is that it produces very well defined bidirectional and broad width azimuth pattern with good gain on all bands. The original W8JK was only meant for regular HF amateur radio bands and did not cover the WARC bands of 17m and 12m. The modified W8JK presented here includes the intermediate WARC bands too...

W3EDP End fed (10-40m)

W3EDP End fed (10-40m) In 1936, Yardley Beers, W3AWH, described an empirically-derived antenna "designed by the writer's friend, Mr. H. J. Siegel, W3EDP." It consisted of an 84 foot radiator and a 17 foot "counterpoise." The design has lasted through the years. . The W3EDP End-fed antenna is a classical antenna in our series of HS4 Legendary Multiband Wire Antennas. It covers 7 bands, 10-12-15-17-20-30-40m. Unlike typical antennas, this is a non-resonant, End-fed antenna. The performance characteristics are quite outstanding. The antenna consists of a single length horizontal radiating elements being driven at the corner-end feedpoint through a 450 Ohm slotted parallel transmission line (TL) of a pre-determined length. The principle of a W3EDP End-fed antenna utilizes the unique configuration of the TL to not only produce the required impedance transformation for taming the SWR to workable limits but also acts as a part of the antenna radiating structure which results in both horizontal and vertical polarization of the radiated energy. This antenna does not essentially need an antenna tuner for proper operation however a 9:1 broadband Balun is required to transform the 450 Ohm feeder impedance to 50 Ohm unbalanced for further coax run.. The overall gain on all bands is good with adequate low angle radiation for great DX. This antenna is deployed at a height of 12m (40 ft.) above average quality ground and the design accounts for ground absorption losses, antenna wire insulation dielectric losses, other structural losses, etc. The most important feature of this antenna is that it produces nearly omnidirectional azimuth pattern with rather good gain and moderate gain ripple on most bands which is practical for copying and working DX in all directions. However, the owner of this antenna will still need to find the optimum direction of the radiation lobe on each band to leverage the main lobe which provides maximum gain. This may be on either side of the default beam heading. It may either be achieved by experimentation during the process of familiarizing the antenna characteristics or by referring to the exhaustive set of specifications with graphics and gain map given below...

Double Zepp (10-80m)

Double Zepp The Double Zepp (Doublet) antenna is a classical antenna in our series of HS4 Legendary Multiband Wire Antennas. It covers 7 bands, 10-12-15-17-20-40-80m. Unlike typical antennas, this is a non-resonant antenna. The performance characteristics are quite outstanding. The antenna consists of symmetrical horizontal radiating elements being driven via an open wire ladder line or a slotted line. Such transmission lines not only ensure very low transmission line (TL) losses but also its pre-determined and well defined length is crucial as it plays a vital role in determining the SWR by acting as a frequency dependant TL transformer. However, the principle of a Double Zepp also utilizes various other complex methods of taming the SWR to workable limits. This antenna needs to be driven trough an antenna tuner and also needs a broadband impedance transforming Balun. The overall gain on all bands is good with adequate low angle radiation for great DX. This antenna is deployed at a height of 12m (40 ft.) above average quality ground and the design accounts for ground absorption losses, antenna wire insulation dielectric losses, other structural losses, etc. The most important aspect to keep in mind is that the radiation lobe patters vary from band to band and may not have maximum radiation in the forward direction of orientation on all bands. On some bands one might find that there could be a null in the forward direction but a nominal swing of the antenna away from this null will bring up the gain. The owner of this antenna will need to find the optimum direction of the radiation lobe on each band either by experimentation during the process of familiarizing the antenna characteristics or may refer to the exhaustive set of specifications with graphics and gain map given below...

T2FD Broadband Antenna (10-40m)

T2FD Broadband Antenna (10-40m) The Tilted Terminated Folded Dipole (T2FD or TTFD) or Balanced Termination, Folded Dipole (BTFD) - also known as W3HH antenna - is a general-purpose shortwave antenna developed in the late 1940s by the United States Navy. It performs reasonably well over a broad frequency range, without marked dead spots in terms of either frequency, direction, or angle of radiation above the horizon. The T2FD antenna is a classical antenna in our series of HS4 Legendary Multiband Wire Antennas. It covers 7 bands, 10-12-15-17-20-30-40m. Unlike typical antennas, this is a non-resonant, Traveling Wave antenna with a terminating load. The performance characteristics are quite outstanding. The antenna consists of two symmetrical lengths horizontal radiating elements configure like a folded dipole with a unique spacing. Most importantly, the folded element is loaded with a non-inductive resistor in the middle. The antenna is driven through a broadband Balun into a 50 Ohm coaxial cable. It is broadband antenna and has a SWR less than 1.8:1 from 7-70 MHz. The T2FD features a marginally lower gain than other legendary antennas due to partial energy absorption in the terminating load but it has excellent SWR and is insensitive element length or height above ground. It is the easiest antenna to fabricate and deploy. This antenna never needs any antenna tuner for proper operation however a 9:1 broadband Balun is required to transform the 450 Ohm feedpoint impedance to 50 Ohm unbalanced for further coax run.. The overall gain on all bands is moderate with adequate low angle radiation for great DX. This antenna is deployed at a height of 12m (40 ft.) above average quality ground and the design accounts for ground absorption losses, antenna wire insulation dielectric losses, other structural losses, etc. The antenna produces multiple lobes covering wide azimuth sections on most bands but it also produces several deep nulls along the azimuth.

The original Windom antenna (devised in 1928-29), named after Loren Windom, W8GZ. The Fritzel FD4 antenna is a classical antenna in our series of HS4 Legendary Multiband Wire Antennas. It covers 7 bands, 10-12-15-17-20-40-80m. Unlike typical antennas, this is a non-resonant, Off Center Fed Dipole (OCFD) antenna. The performance characteristics are quite outstanding. The antenna consists of asymmetrical length horizontal radiating elements being driven at the feedpoint through a 4:1 broadband Balun and a 50 Ohm Coaxial cable.

Unlike typical antennas, this is a non-resonant, Off Center Fed Dipole (OCFD) antenna. The performance characteristics are quite outstanding. The antenna consists of asymmetrical horizontal radiating elements being driven at the off-center feedpoint through a Balun into a 50 Ohm coaxial cable of a pre-determined length. The principle of a New Carolina Windom antenna utilizes the unique length of the coax section to not only produce the required impedance transformation for taming the SWR to workable limits but also uses the Common-Mode current flowing on the outside of the braid to acts as a part of the antenna radiating structure which results in both horizontal and vertical polarization of the radiated energy. To restrict the Common-Mode current to a desired length, a ferrite core common-mode choke is used at the bottom of this coax section. This antenna does not essentially need an antenna tuner for proper operation however a 4:1 broadband Balun is required at the element feedpoint to transform the 200 Ohm feedpoint impedance to 50 Ohm coax cable section..

ES Map 648x360

Sporadic E or Es is an unusual form of radio propagation using characteristics of the Earth's ionosphere. Communication distances of 800–2200 km can occur using a single Es cloud. As its name suggests, sporadic E is an abnormal event, but can happen at almost any time; it does, however, display seasonal patterns. Sporadic E activity peaks predictably in the summertime in both hemispheres. In North America, the peak is most noticeable in mid-to-late June, trailing off through July and into August. A much smaller peak is seen around the winter solstice. Activity usually begins in mid-December in the southern hemisphere, with the days immediately ES Map v1.0 provides a LIVE visual representation of Sporadic Es reflection points in the ionospheric E-Layer for 10 and 11m bands. The map shows the latest reported Es clouds over the past hour.

VU2NSB OmniDX antenna (11m)

VU2NSB OmniDX Antenna series is a very special set of monoband antennas that have been designed from the core keeping in mind the optimal radiation lobe pattern characteristics needed for good DX as well as medium range operation on HF bands. Unlike Yagis, Quads, etc, where the antennas structure determines the expected radiation patterns, we worked the other way round. We first determined the desired radiation pattern that was needed and then designed the antenna structure required to meet our objective. VU2NSB OmniDX antenna consists of six vertically polarized co-phased collinear radiators with integral counterpoise mounted on a boom. Each radiator is driven with a unique proprietary phase shift paradigm using coaxial cable phasing harnesses. The feed-point of the array produces an impedance ideal for matching a 50 ohm coax transmission line with SWR below 1.5:1. The antenna also has excellent radiation efficiency with a forward gain of 14 dBi and Relative Directivity Factor (RDF) greater than 15dB. The objective was to design an antenna that would have a good forward gain at low and medium radiation takeoff angles, yet provide an ability to listen all around in 360 degree azimuth plane. The main forward lobe is a flattened, front peaking, fish belly shaped lobe to achieve a broad azimuth view. It also has a significantly broadened back lobe including two rear slanting side lobes. Two more upturned side-lobes are produced for listening to short/medium distance stations in those directions. To summarize, VU2NSB OmniDX antenna series are designed to allow very good DX in the forward direction, not by producing brute power gain but by optimizing the lobe patterns. At the same time, you will not miss out on the stations operating from other directions. The stations on the back side will never go unnoticed.

CW Encoder 432x144

CW Encoder Translates text to transmittable CW. Adjustable speed and tone. This CW transmitter uses a notepad to transmit text. It does not use macros, instead it saves the text in the notepad so it remembers it for the next time. In that way you can build a big library with prerecorded CW texts. Use cut and paste and move texts and words around. The encoder sends a line a at time. Just move your cursor to the and of the line and hit enter. The transmitted line is marked in red during transmit. You can hit enter on multiple lines consecutively to send more text. For users who are used to other CW sending software this method of transmission may feel a bit different. But once you get used to work CW as you are "editing" a text, you will love it. So If you need to transmit long lines. Just split them up and hit enter on each one. It will merge the text during transmit. Please note. Speed and Tone can not be adjusted during transmit. Use Escape key to abort any transmission. Adjustable speed between 5-25 WPM The CW encoder supports the following characters: A-Z and 0-9 Special characters: /, "=?():.-;!ÉÑ_&ÅÄÖÜ CW Sequences: + = "AR" * = "SK" # = "KN" You can write commented lines starting with #. Those will not be transmitted.

Audio Compressor 432x72

Audio compressor for both RX and TX audio. A compressor/limiter is a type of amplifier in which gain is dependent on the signal level passing through it. You can set the maximum level a compressor/limiter allows to pass through, thereby causing automatic gain reduction above some predetermined signal level, or threshold. Compression refers, basically, to the ability to reduce, by a fixed ratio, the amount by which a signal’s output level can increase relative to the input level. It is useful for lowering the dynamic range of a vocal, making it easier to be heard over the air without distortion. For example, if you move around in front of the microphone during a QSO, making the output level vary up and down unnaturally. A compressor can be applied to the signal to help correct this phenomenon by reducing the louder passages enough to be compatible with the overall signal. How severely the compressor reduces the signal is determined by the compression ratio and compression threshold. A ratio of 2:1 or less is considered mild compression, reducing the output by a factor of two for signals that exceed the compression threshold. Ratios above 10:1 are considered hard limiting. As the compression threshold is lowered, more of the input signal is compressed (assuming a nominal input-signal level). Care must be taken not to over compress a signal, as too much compression destroys the acoustic dynamic response. Limiting refers to the processing that prevents the signal from getting any louder (that is, it prevents any increase in the signal’s amplitude) at the output. Vocals usually have a wide dynamic range. Transients (normally the loudest portions of the signal) can be far outside the average level of the vocal signal. Because the level can change continuously and dramatically, it is extremely difficult to ride the level with a console fader. A compressor/limiter automatically controls gain without altering the subtleties of the transmission. The compressor has 6 setting knobs for: Input Threshhold: Where the compressor should start kicking in level wise. Ratio: Audio level reduction 1:1 to 1:12 Attack: Time before the compression kicks in Release: Time to hold gain after the compression kicked in Limiter: Extra limiter to limit output spikes Output: Make up gain The plug-in has an A/P switch for (A)ttached and (P)ass through The compression can be done on RX audio and TX audio or TX audio only by selecting the R/T switch.

Vertical Collinear (11m)

Vertical Co-phased Collinear for 11m. HamSphere Vertical collinear antenna series, popularly known as V-Collinear are mono-band antennas. These antennas have excellent HF DX performance while retaining pure omni-directional characteristics. Architecturally, the V-Collinear antennas may be classified under the category of vertically oriented/polarized, co-phased, co-axial stacked arrays. V-Collinears feature healthy gain with radiation characteristics highly suitable for very long range omni-directional DX work. HamSphere V-collinear antenna series are designed with a vertical radiator length of 3/4 wavelengths. It comprises of a lower 1/4 wl section followed by an upper 1/2 wl section. The inter-coupling between these two sections is via a transmission delay line which produces the required phase relationship between the two radiating segments for optimal performance. This antenna has its own integral radial groundplane system. HamSphere V-collinear antennas are excellent DX antennas which at many a times outperform larger Yagi Arrays and Cubical Quads. If your operating style is not just restricted to point-to-point communication with pre-determined skeds with other operators, then the V-Collinear will certainly be an important addition to your antenna farm. V-collinear is excellent for calling CQ and to listen all around omni-directionally for DX signals from all around the world.

3-element 3-band Yagi (10-20m)

3-element 3-band Yagi (10, 15, 20m) The HamSphere 3-element 3-band Yagi is one the antennas in our series of "Classical HF Antennas". This is perhaps one of the most popular tri-band (20-15-10m) rotatable antenna configurations used the world over by HF ham operators since decades. One may find such an antenna available from almost every manufacturer in the world. It is a very nice real-world antenna with good performance and relatively smaller size. It offers a robust construction and is possible to install where space is at a premium. The turning radius of a multi-band trap Yagi is far lower than equivalent monoband antennas. Shortening of element lengths is achieved on account of the presence of traps. HS4 3-el 3-band Yagi features aprroximately 10.5-11 dBi gain on 20m and 10m bands with a slightly lower gain on the 15m band. This type of power gain distribution is typical for a Triband Trap Yagi. The radiation patterns are broad and clean at low elevation angles which result in excellent azimuth view in excess of +/-45 degrees. It offers a good coverage for both mid-range as well as long-range DX work.

Audio Compressor 216x144

Audio compressor for both RX and TX audio. A compressor/limiter is a type of amplifier in which gain is dependent on the signal level passing through it. You can set the maximum level a compressor/limiter allows to pass through, thereby causing automatic gain reduction above some predetermined signal level, or threshold. Compression refers, basically, to the ability to reduce, by a fixed ratio, the amount by which a signal’s output level can increase relative to the input level. It is useful for lowering the dynamic range of a vocal, making it easier to be heard over the air without distortion. For example, if you move around in front of the microphone during a QSO, making the output level vary up and down unnaturally. A compressor can be applied to the signal to help correct this phenomenon by reducing the louder passages enough to be compatible with the overall signal. How severely the compressor reduces the signal is determined by the compression ratio and compression threshold. A ratio of 2:1 or less is considered mild compression, reducing the output by a factor of two for signals that exceed the compression threshold. Ratios above 10:1 are considered hard limiting. As the compression threshold is lowered, more of the input signal is compressed (assuming a nominal input-signal level). Care must be taken not to over compress a signal, as too much compression destroys the acoustic dynamic response. Limiting refers to the processing that prevents the signal from getting any louder (that is, it prevents any increase in the signal’s amplitude) at the output. Vocals usually have a wide dynamic range. Transients (normally the loudest portions of the signal) can be far outside the average level of the vocal signal. Because the level can change continuously and dramatically, it is extremely difficult to ride the level with a console fader. A compressor/limiter automatically controls gain without altering the subtleties of the transmission. The compressor has 6 setting sliders for: Input Threshhold: Where the compressor should start kicking in level wise. Ratio: Audio level reduction 1:1 to 1:12 Attack: Time before the compression kicks in Release: Time to hold gain after the compression kicked in Limiter: Extra limiter to limit output spikes Output: Make up gain The plug-in has an A/P switch for (A)ttached and (P)ass through The compression can be done on RX audio and TX audio or TX audio only by selecting the R/T switch. Left LED instrument shows Gain Reduction and Right LED instrument shows Output level.

Remember this old classic from 1978? Space Invaders is one of the most addicting games that was ever made. Whilst waiting for your favorite DX, compete with your fellow Ham Radio friends. Try to make it on the High Score list. The idea of this game is very simplistic. You are a space ship who must destroy the invading enemy space ships as they descend upon your little 8-bit world. Use the mouse to fire your gun at them and blow each ship to pieces. Be careful though, because these ships fire back and as you deplete their numbers, the space invaders get faster and faster until the last remaining ship appears to move at near warp speed. To ensure you stay alive as long as possible, hide behind the green walls and develop and a run-and-gun mentality. Try to blast out whole rows of space invaders at once as it makes it easier to shoot into a crowd rather than pinpoint each individual ship.

7 element Quad (10m)

7-element quad for 10m HamSphere is pleased to present the 7-Element Diamond Configuration Cubical Quad HF antenna series which is optimized for superb DX performance. This mono-band antenna is deployed on all HF Ham Radio bands on HS4. Those who have worked with Cubical Quads (even 2-3 element versions) before would appreciate the inherent characteristics and remarkable performance of Quads. This specific antenna on HS4 features excellent gain (18+ dBi at the top), low takeoff angle, broad azimuth beam, smooth forward lobe, minimal spurious lobes and good Front to Back (F/B) ratio which is typically 23dB. HamSphere 7-el Cubical Quads antennas are hoisted at various optimal heights above ground depending on the band of operation. Higher frequency band versions are at 20m above the surface of ground whereas the 160m band version of this antenna is hoisted to 40m height. By virtue of its design a Cubical Quad antenna has fewer spurious lobes thus producing a neat forward main lobe devoid of any prominent inter-lobe nulls. Yagi-Uda antenna has the shortcoming of producing several inter-lobe nulls along the elevation section when placed in proximity to the Earth’s surface, whereas the Cubical Quad radiation pattern has far better integrity thus making the performance of Quads far more stable and superior to that of the Yagi. HamSphere 7-element Cubical Quad series of antennas have excellent DX capability coupled with a good mid-range performance. We expect this antenna to be a connoisseurs’ delight by providing excellent communication capability under extensive variations in propagation conditions.

Yagi-Uda antenna has the shortcoming of producing several inter-lobe nulls along the elevation section when placed in proximity to the Earth’s surface, whereas the Cubical Quad radiation pattern has far better integrity thus making the performance of Quads far more stable and superior to that of the Yagi. HamSphere 7-element Cubical Quad series of antennas have excellent DX capability coupled with a good mid-range performance. We expect this antenna to be a connoisseurs’ delight by providing excellent communication capability under extensive variations in propagation conditions.

Band Scanner 432x216

Band Scanner 432x216 The Band Scanner plugin allows you to have your HS 4.0 Transceiver actively searching for signals even while you are busy doing other things on or near your computer. This is one of the most feature-rich plugins currently available: ** The 432x216 size packs a lot of features into a plugin that is the size of the Band Scope + Volume Panel ** ** Scans from one to all fifteen bands. You pick which ones to scan ** ** Can scan an entire band in 5 seconds ** ** Mutes the receiver while scanning to give you "static free" scanning. When it finds a signal it un-mutes the receiver so you can hear it ** ** Scans for signals on all frequencies across the entire band, tuning to the nearest 1Khz step when a signal is found ** ** You see your LCD, Band Scope, Waterfall, etc. sweeping across the bands as the scanner searches each 5Khz segment ** ** 20 LEDs show each 5Khz segment as you sweep across the band ** ** Individual segments of bands can be disabled by clicking on the LED so that you can tell the scanner to skip over beacons and other signals you don't care about ** ** An LED bar meter shows the strength of any signal you are tuned to, whether scanning or not ** ** An adjustable threshold knob allows you to set how strong a signal must be before the scanner will stop on it. The threshold you set can be seen on the bar meter for easy reference ** ** HOLD scan mode will keep the scanner on a signal until the signal drops below the threshold for the amount of time you set with the DELAY knob ** ** PAUSE scan mode will stop on the signal for the amount of time you set with the DELAY knob and then will continue scanning even if the signal is still above the threshold ** ** MANUAL antenna mode will use whatever antenna you currently have selected as the scanner scans the bands you have enabled. ** ** PROGRAMMED antenna mode will use the antenna and azimuth that you program for each band. To program an antenna and azimuth for a band, you simply have the desired antenna and azimuth selected when you enable that band on the scanner. Every band can have a different antenna and/or azimuth if you like and the scanner will switch to them automatically as it goes to each band ** ** You can set the scanner to scan each band from 1 to 4 times before moving on to the next enabled band ** Official Band Scanner Manual by Mike WB7ECW
