Reverse Mode
This key will allow you to observe the reverse frequency of
the repeater. While pressing REVERSE, the standard pair
frequency will be displayed. For a list of the standard pair
frequencies, refer to the table "Reverse List" in the Appendix.
If the frequency that you have chosen does not have an offset
frequency, the display will indicate ERROR and NO
REVERSE. This feature does not work in the Weather
Search mode.
Channel Step Selection
You can set channel steps, 5 kHz - 100 kHz or Auto, in
Conventional mode or Chain search mode. The default
receive mode should be the proper mode setting in almost
all cases. You may wish to set some VHF channels for NFM
mode, depending on any adjacent channel interference
problems. Note that WFM is typically only used for broadcast
frequencies, such as TV audio or FM radio.
See STEPS in "Menu Description" for details.
Mute On/Off
To manually turn On the Mute function, press and hold MUTE
for more than 1 second until MUTE ON is displayed.
You will not hear any audio. This feature does not function in
the WX alert mode, because the audio is already muted. To
turn it Off, press MUTE again.
