h Displays
Each display shows the initial letters of the

(maximum three digits including a minus
sign for a negative value).
i DME channel selection buttons
Press one of these buttons, turning it on, to
delegate a DME channel to the keyer. The
number of valid DME channel selection
buttons depends on the number of channels
installed in the DME processor.
A maximum of four consecutively
numbered DME channels from the two sets,
DME 1 to 4 and DME 5 to 8, can be
assigned to one keyer. A DME channel
assigned to a keyer cannot be selected on
another keyer. However, using the override
function it is possible to allocate a channel
already allocated to another keyer to the
currently selected keyer. If DME channel
allocations have been made in a Setup
menu, these buttons cannot be used to make
DME channel allocations. Using the trace
function, it is possible to check which keyer
a DME channel is allocated to.
