Chapter 5. – Programming
Frequency Mode vs. Channel Mode
Switch between Modes by Using the V/M Front Panel Button
These two modes have different functions and are often confused.
Frequency Mode (VFO) - Used for a temporary frequency assignment, such as a test frequency
or quick field programming if permitted.
Channel Mode (MR) - Used for selecting preprogrammed channels.
ALL PROGRAMMING MUST BE INITIALLY DONE IN THE FREQUENCY MODE (VFO) ONLY. FROM THERE YOU HAVE
THE OPTION OF ASSIGNING THE ENTERED DATA TO A SPECIFIC CHANNEL FOR ACCESS IN THE CHANNEL MODE
CALL TONES, TX/RX TONES, SQUELCH, AND POWER SETTINGS ARE ADJUSTABLE ON SAVED CHANNELS IN
CHANNEL MODE
PROGRAMMING CHANNELS ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE VFO SETTINGS; THE OFFSET SETTINGS ARE NOT STORED,
INSTEAD YOU ENTER A TX FREQUENCY DIRECTLY (E.G. 145.000 RX WITH AN OFFSET OF (+) .600 WOULD BE A TX
FREQUENCY OF 145.600).
