To open a new Frequency Database window, select "Frequency Database" from the application menu. You can have any number of database windows open simultaneously.
Loading an existing database
Use the "Open" option from the "File" menu of the Frequency Database window to load a database. Currently supported formats are Clifton Turner's *.320 and Ten-Tec's exported *.cdf files.
Creating a new database
Just open a new Frequency Database window and start entering stations.
Adding stations
To enter a new station into the database, select "Add new station" from the Edit menu, or click on the "New" toolbar icon. Then type the station information in the dialog that appears:
Note that some of the dialog fields have been already filled for you with the current receiver settings, like the tuning frequency, detection mode and filter. That makes storing new stations you just found easier: all you have to do is to enter a name for it. You can modify these fields or leave them unmodified as you wish. You can always edit them later.
Tuning to a station
To tune the receiver to a station from the database, just double-click its name. Alternatively, you can highlight it with a single click, then either use the "Tune to station" option from the Edit menu, or click on the "Tune" toolbar icon.
Editing station information
Highlight the station you want to modify, then select "Change entry" from the Edit menu. A dialog similar to the "Add new station" will appear, allowing you to edit the station information.
Deleting stations
Highlight the stations you want to delete, then either select "Delete selected station(s)" from the Edit menu, or click on the "Delete" toolbar icon.
You can select a group of adjacent entries by clicking and dragging the mouse in a lasso-like fashion. You can add or remove entries from the selection by holding the <Ctrl> key down when clicking on the entries.
Sorting entries
To sort a given column of the frequency database table, click on its header. The first click sorts the column in ascending order. Clicking again sorts the column in descending order, and so on.
You can also sort the table by two or more columns: just click on the desired columns in turn. For example, suppose you want to sort the stations by name in ascending order, and stations with the same name by ascending tuning frequency: all you have to do is to click on the "Frequency" column header first, then on the "Station name" header.
If you want the table to be sorted the next time you load it, save it immediately after sorting.
