MW Lock function The lock-function prevents accidental frequency changes and accidental function activation. w Slide [LOCK] up or down 1o set the lock function ON or OFF, respectively.
B Repeater operation © General When using a repeater, the transmit frequency is shifted from the receive frequency by the offset frequency. It is convenient to program repeater information into memory channels (p. 18). { Set the operating band:and receive frequency (repeater output frequency). @ Push {UNDERTONE] for 1 sec. once to select DUP of twice to select DUP: * = DUP” or "DUP" appears fo indicate the transmit frequency for minus shift or plus shift, respectively.
3 BASIC OPERATION < Setting sub audible tones for repeater use Some repeaters require sub audible tones to be accessed. Sub audible tones are superimposed over your normal signal and must be set in advance. vans SET MODE @ Push [VFO] to select VEO mode. @ Push [BAND] to select VHF or UHF. @ Push for 1 sec; to enter set mode. @ Push [TONE] or [H/L] several times until “rT” appears; 5 Rotate [DIAL] to select the desired sub audible tone.
B Memory/call channels The transceiver has 70 memory channels (60 regular, 4 pairs of Sean edge channels for mixed bands and 1 call channel for each band). Note that memory channels are not grouped according to band. In other words, a given memory channel can be programmed with either a VHF frequency of a UHF frequency. This is not the case with call channels. Call channels are band specific.
