KFS 586A Operation

Frequency Mode

A. Standby Entry

Two frequencies are displayed;

one in the Active display and the
other in the Standby display.
Select desired frequency in
Standby display by rotating the
Frequency Control knobs either
clockwise or counterclockwise.
The larger knob will change the
100KHz portion of the Standby
(SBY) display. When changing the
frequency past either end of
specified frequency range the
display will roll over to the other
end of the frequency range. The
small knob will change KHz portion
of the Standby display. It steps in
increments of 10KHz when the
knob is pushed in and 1KHz when
the knob is pulled out.

To tune the ADF receiver to the

desired frequency, the desired
frequency must first be entered
into the Standby display, and then
the Transfer button must be
pushed for less than 2 seconds.
This will trade the frequency of the
Active/Chan and Standby display.
While in Frequency Mode, the ADF
Receiver is always tuned to the
frequency in the Active display.

B. Active Entry

The Active Entry mode is entered

by pushing the Transfer button for
longer than 2 seconds. The
Frequency Control knobs operate
as in Standby Entry, but as the
Active/Chan display changes so
does the tuned frequency of the
radio.

Momentarily pushing the

Transfer button returns the control
head to Standby Entry. The
Standby frequency prior to Active
Entry mode remains unchanged.

Civil Operation

Channel Mode

A. Momentarily pressing the

CHAN button while in one of the
Frequency modes temporarily puts the
unit in Channel mode. The unit
remains tuned to the last Active
frequency displayed before entering
Channel mode. The last used channel
number is displayed in the Active/
Chan window and the associated
frequency in the Standby display
(unless no channels have been
programmed, in which case the unit
defaults to channel 1 and dashes are
displayed in the SBY display). Turning
either Frequency Control knob will
change the channel number and its
corresponding frequency. The
channels will only increment and
decrement to channels that have been
programmed.

Pressing the CHAN button will

return the unit to Frequency mode and
the status of Frequency mode prior to
entering Channel mode remains the
same. If there has been no activity for
5 seconds the unit will return to
Frequency mode and the channel
frequency remains in the Standby
display.

B. If in Channel mode, pressing

the Transfer button will return the unit
to Frequency mode. The Channel
frequency will become the new Active
frequency and the last Active
frequency will become the new
Standby frequency. If the unit was in
Active Entry mode prior to entering
Channel mode, pressing Transfer
button or allowing the unit to time out
will bring it back to Standby Entry.

C. The On/Off/Volume and Mode

control operate as in Frequency Mode.
