1 1 Introduction Welcome to the Motorola JT 1000 Portable Radio. JT 1000 radios are sophisticated, state-of-the-art communication units, with models available in VHF and UHF frequency ranges, with up to 16 user-programmable channels. Pioneering the latest technology in radio electronics, Motorola JT 1000 radios provide features that were once only available in more expensive radios.

2 2 Getting Started Antennas Radio/Antenna Identification Radio Operating-Frequency Chart An information label is attached to the back of your radio (chassis), just under the battery contacts. A radio model number is identified on K 136 - 178 MHz this label. A typical model number R 403 - 470 MHz might be H01KDH9PA3AN. The S 450 - 512 MHz fourth position of the model number (in this case “K”) identifies the operating frequency band of the radio.

MAEPFMAEPF- MAEPFMAEPF- 17 MAEPFMAEPF- MAEPFMAEPF- Radio Operation with Features (cont.) Channel ScanTM Features (cont.) • • B. Talk-Back Scan – lets the user respond on the channel with activity within a specified “hang-time”. Hang time is the amount of time that the radio user has to respond to a received transmission. If the user misses the allotted time and tries to transmit, transmission occurs on the channel currently selected by the channel selector.
