That RF gain structure can be controlled using the following functions.
Attenuation: this function allows to select the RF output level by applying 1 dB
attenuation steps, from 0 dB to 60 dB. Turning the encoder CW increases the
attenuation, reducing the output level. Turning CCW enables the opposite
behavior.
Level changes are applied immediately to the RF output, to allow smooth and
easy adjustment of RF output conditions. Pressing the encoder or MENU key exits this
function.
Fine Adjust: Select this function to program the RF output reference level. For a
correct reference, adjust the output attenuation to 0 dB, before the fine adjustment.
Changes are also applied in real time. Turning the knob CW increases the output
level. Turn it CCW decreases the level.
The displayed characters are integer numbers. The range goes from a maximum
attenuation of —31 to a minimum attenuation of +31 (i.e. 0 to 63 attenuation steps).
To exit this function, press the MENU or encoder keys.

CONFIGURATION functions
Under this menu tree there is a collection of functions related to the configuration
and setup of the whole instrument.
Save to Memory: The MO-16X has a number of configuration memories that allow
to store the modulator parameters as well as the RF frequency and level.
To store the current configuration, turn the encoder to select the desired memory
number (from 0 to 10). Press the encoder key to confirm the storing action. Press the
MENU key to cancel the action.
This function, as well as the recall option explained hereafter, automatically
increments the memory number, to allow to easily store and recall the contents of
consecutive memories.
Load from Memory: This is the counterpart function of the previous one. Selecting
the desired memory number, a complete equipment configuration can be loaded.
Channel Plan: Use this function to choose among the channel plans included in
the MO-16X. Currently, the available channel plans (an ordered list of channel
frequencies) have been translated from the standard analogue channel plans.
A complete list of all channel plans has been included at the end of this document
(see Appendix A).
