Features
No | Type | Item | Function |
---|---|---|---|
1x | input | Rotary Encoder with push button | Frequency select |
3x | input | Pushbutton | Freq/Swap, FT/ET, RST |
2x* | input | Pushswitch | ADF, BFO |
2x | output | 4 Digit 7-segment display | Active and Standby frequency |

Functional description
Left 4 Digit 7-segment display shows active frequency. Right 4 Digit 7-segment display shows value depending on the display mode. The unit can be in three display modes (Frequency, Flight time, Elapsed time). In Frequency mode, the display shows standby frequency and in Flight or Elapsed time mode the corresponding timer value.
If in Frequency mode, rotary knob changes standby by frequency. In other modes, right rotary changes active frequency. Clicking the rotary knob changes between 100, 10 and 1 kHz sections of currently editing value.
ADF switches between ADF and ANT mode (there is X-Plane command for each mode). BFO enables/disables tone mode.
If in Frequency mode, Freq/Swap button swaps active and standby frequencies. If in other modes, it goes to frequency mode.
If in Flight time mode FT/ET button goes to Elapsed time mode. If in other modes, it goes to Flight time mode.
RST button resets elapsed timer value to 0 not observing the current display mode.
Right rotary long press turns unit on/off.
