Channel Configuration

Each receiver slot must be assigned to an FM frequency before it starts monitoring. Follow the steps below to configure a channel from scratch.

Step 1 — Open the Channel Settings

Click the settings icon on any unconfigured channel slot to open its configuration panel.

Step 2 — Scan for Stations

In the settings window, enter a name for the channel slot, then click Scan to run an automatic RF scan. The device will sweep the FM band and populate a list of receivable stations.

Select the desired station from the results and click Submit to tune the receiver to that frequency.

Tip

You can also type a frequency directly if you already know it and do not need a full scan. Manual entry is faster when configuring a large number of channels.

Step 3 — Enable Monitoring

After saving the channel settings, click Enable on the channel tile to activate monitoring for that slot.

Step 4 — Verify the Channel

Once enabled, the channel tile will update with live measurements. A correctly configured and active channel displays RF level, SNR, audio meters, and RDS text if the station broadcasts it.

De-emphasis

The de-emphasis setting affects audio output levels and measurements. Set it to match the broadcasting standard used in your region. In Europe and most of Asia, use 50 µs. In the Americas, use 75 µs.

Reconfiguring a Channel
