Antenna Basics Your Mobile Radio Kit does not include an Antenna. It is VERY Important to NOT transmit without a antenna or dummy load attached to the mobile radio. Doing so, will cause harm to the internal components of your radio. You will want to choose a suitable antenna for the bands you plan on transmitting and receiving on. If you plan on transmitting on 145MHz you will want to ensure you have picked an antenna that states it is capable of working with 145MHz.
Antenna Requirements Antenna SWR Rating : 1.5:1 or less (on the radio frequencies in use.) Antenna Impedance : 50 ohm (use 50 ohm rated coax and coax connectors). Antenna Grounding : Ensure the antenna is mounted with a grounding plane. R Visually Inspect Coax/Connectors for any Slits or Damage – moisture should not be allowed to penetrate fittings or your coax.
BASIC SHORTCUTS AND USE Pound # Key (Keypad Lock) To enable or disable the keypad lock, press and hold the [#/LOCK] key for about two seconds. A quick toggle of the # will alternate power levels from High power to Low power. The keypad lock will lock both the main radio buttons itself and also the handheld keypad. The PTT/MONI and Power Buttons will not be locked when enabled.
Making a call Press and hold the PTT button on the side of the handheld mic to transmit. While transmitting, speak approximately 3-5cm (1-2 inches) from the microphone. When you release the PTT your transceiver will go back to its receive mode. Channel selection There are two modes of operation: Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory (MR) mode. For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Frequency (VFO) mode.
D Channel (MR) mode The use of Channel (MR) mode is dependent on actually having programmed in some channels to use. To find out more on how to program channels see Chapter Programming. Once you have channels programmed and ready, you can use the [UPY] and [DOWNZ] keys to navigate between channels (or Rotate the Selector Knob). !If you have channels programmed with Transmit power set to Low, you can use the key to momentarily switch over to high power if you're having trouble getting through.

PROGRAMMING Frequency Mode vs. Channel Mode Switch between Modes by Using the V/M Front Panel Button. These two modes have diff erent 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. R All programming must be initially done in the frequency mode (VFO) only.
OTHER SETTINGS Toggle from High to Low Power A quick press of the Microphone [#/LOCK] will alternate power levels from High power to Low power. Storing an FM Radio Station and Scanning Use PC software to store FM radio channels names, you can name the FM channel and instead of display the frequency your FM station will display the name.

The Master ID station must first identify and send the PTTID (set in software as “Master ID”) – once the Master Station identifies itself, the radio is set to receive command tones, if the Monitor Remote Kill tone is received - the radio will no longer be able to transmit or receive. Both the master ID station and remote stun signal must be set up in software.
