Matti,

Those three buttons are to display the time period 
when a certain Radio Station
is audible in your area or QTH.  However, to get 
this information to display, you
must first enter it into the "Fade in" and Fade 
out" fields for the update form.
To see the update form, press the Insert key. 
This will display a blank form.
To see the update form of a Radio Station already 
having a record, highlight
a record and press the Enter key.

Once at the update form you will see six fields 
(EIBI) or two fields (AOKI)
titled Fade in and Fade out.  Enter the times when 
the Radio Station is
audible at your QTH.  For example, Radio Victoria 
on 6019.20 is active
all day long (0001 to 2359), but I can only hear 
it between 0800 to 0900 UTC.
Once you have those fields filled, you can click 
on one of the buttons mentioned
above and a bar graph will appear on the time line 
above to remind you
when the station is readable at your QTH the next 
time you listen to it.
Some Radio Stations may be readable more than once 
a day, so you have
three different time frames for the EIBI database. 
The AOKI is still being
worked on, so there is only one time frame at this 
time.

So experiment with a couple of records to see how 
it works.  You can
erase the times if they aren't true..

I hope this helps

Chuck

  Hi,

  Just downloaded and set up the magna browser.
  I find it very useful and I will most probably 
test it when SWLing.
  Thank you for the work you've done.

  A couple of questions though:

  When browsing the EiBi schedules by frequency 
what are the blue, yellow and green buttons?
  I cannot read the button text, as the text is 
partly hidden "above" and "below" the button rim.

  What are the functions attached to the buttons? 
I did not fully understand the help text (as I am 
not very good with my English language).
