R
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.
R
Call tones, TX/RX tones, squelch, and power settings are adjustable on saved channels in chan-
nel mode.
R
Programming channels are di
ff
erent from the VFO settings; the o
ff
set settings are not stored, in-
stead you enter a TX frequency directly (e.g. 145.000 RX with an o
ff
set of (+). 600 Would be a TX
frequency of 145.600).
