Direct Channel Access - Albrecht AE 6690 Bedienungsanleitung

In order to adjust the set to be the most sensitive to incoming signals, switch to a free channel:
• Use the up / down switches to find a free channel, where no signal is displayed.
• Then turn the SQUELCH control SQ carefully to the right until the noise just about
disappears.
Now the loudspeaker stays off when on a free channel but it switches back on when receiving
even very weak signals.
The squelch muting adjustment is particularly important during channel
scanning. In this mode the point to which the set is adjusted decides whether
scanning is stopped at the signal or not. Therefore you should test the
various muting settings for various signal strengths and get to know this
function.
AM / FM mode switch
In the German channel system dE (80/40) you can now receive on all 80 channels in FM and AM,
but you can transmit on all these channels only in FM.
In AM the only channels 1-40 are enabled for transmitting. If you should try to transmit in AM on
other channels, the LED will blink to warn you.
Transmission on such channels is technically deactivated. The transmit mode is displayed as AM
or FM in the display.
Special interest channels
There are a few channels which have been established for certain purposes:
Channel 1
Channel 9
To call other stations, who you know are listening in on channel 9, you can also use this channel.
Call up the desired station on channel 9. As soon as contact has been made, agree on a free
channel for your conversation and then channel 9 will be free again for other calls.
An emergency channel can of course only work if as many stations as possible are listening in.
Therefore listen in to this channel as often as possible!

Direct channel access key CH 9
Your transceiver has an extra button on the front panel which provides direct access to the most
important channels 9 described in previous chapter.
You can toggle with the button between "normal" channel selected previously, CH 9 and back
again. Just press the button consequently.
Call channel in FM (Germany only)
Call and emergency channel, in Germany particularly this channel is
also used by all truck drivers in AM.
This means: a large number of stations are listening in. If the worst
comes to the worst (e.g. in case of accident etc.) there is a good
chance that someone will be listening.
