want to receive, you can go to it directly by entering
the number on the ‘Direct- Key-Input’ keypad. If less
than a four digit number is entered, there may be a
slight delay between the time you enter the number
and the time the channel change actually takes place.
However,if you enter a four digit number,the channel
change will occur immediately upon entry of the fourth
number.
Example:
To enter MEMORY channel 475, press ‘0',‘4',‘7',‘5'.
If you want to temporarily change a parameter of a
received MEMORY channel, or simply want to “tune
around” the stored frequency, there are two ways to
do this.
The first is to simply press any of the Function softkeys
below the display which are labeled in reverse video,
or the ‘FM’,‘SW BAND’, or ‘MW/LW’ softkeys as
appropriate.This will cause the ‘MEMORY’ softkey to
be displayed in normal video, the ‘VFO’ label will be

frequency, change parameters,or change bands.To
return to scrolling through MEMORY channels with the
‘TUNING’ knob, simply press the ‘MEMORY’ softkey
again.
The other method is to press the ‘TUNE’ softkey.This
will return the receiver to the VFO mode and will trans-
fer the MEMORY channel frequency and all associated
parameters to the VFO for further tuning.
DELETING A MEMORY CHANNEL
Select the MEMORY channel to be deleted as
described in “RECALLING A MEMORY CHANNEL”.
Press and hold the ‘DELETE’ key for 3 seconds.A high
pitched beep will be heard to indicate that the con-
tents stored in the selected MEMORY channel number
have been deleted, and you will see the name and fre-
quency disappear from the selected MEMORY channel
location.

Y DESCRIPTION
T
he
etón E1 receiver contains 1200 memory channels
grouped in a category named “COUNTRY”.These are
in addition to the 500 MEMORY channels described in
the previous section.These 1200 COUNTRY memory
channels are divided among 111 countries from
Afghanistan to
Y
ugoslavia with 10 memory channels
assigned per country and with 90 memory channels
remaining with no country assigned.
These COUNTRY
memory channels are numbered from 501 to 1700.
T
hey are displayed in groups of ten, and can be used
to store and recall commonly monitored frequencies
.
Unlike the MEMORY channels described previously,
COUNTRY channels cannot have names assigned to
each channel.
While the intention here w
as to mak
e it easier for the
user to group interesting frequencies by country, any
frequency can be stored in any COUNTR
Y channel.

8. Meter Band Identifier
Identifies the meter band of the selected SW frequen-
cy. If the channel is an FM broadcast band frequency,
“STEREO” or “MONO” appears in this location.
9. Band Identifier
Indicates whether the memory channel is in the LW,
MW,SW, or FM bands.
10. MHz / kHz
Identifies whether the frequency is displayed in mega-
hertz or kilohertz.
STORING A MEMORY CHANNEL
There are two ways to store a channel.The first is from
VFO mode, and the other is from MEMORY mode.
To store a channel from VFO mode proceed as follows:
(A.) First select the mode and frequency that you wish
to store, as you normally would do in VFO mode.
Make sure you have set all the function parame-

to select the desired blank MEMORY number.
(D.) Press the ‘STORE’ key again.The selected fre-
quency will appear at the selected MEMORY
channel in reverse video, and a flashing white
curser will appear in front of the selected channel
number.
(E.) Within 10 seconds,you must either begin to pro-
gram a name for the desired channel,or press
the ‘STORE’ key again to store the channel with-
out a name or to use the previously stored name.
(F.) To name the channel, while the white curser is
flashing, use the ‘TUNING’ knob to scroll through
the alphanumeric characters until you find the
one you want.Then press the right hand ‘<
SELECT >’ key to advance the curser to the next
position. Repeat this process until you have
