SQUELCH The squelch is used to eliminate any annoying background noise when there are no signals present. Make sure to first select a channel not in use before setting the squelch in your UH076SX UHF-CB radio. Think of squelch as a gate. Turn [SQ] fully clockwise. This raises the "Squelch Gate" so high that only the very strong signals can get through. Strong Signals Medium Signals Weak Signals Noise Turn [SQ] fully counter clockwise until you hear a hiss.
TO TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE The UH076SX uses the 40 UHF-CB Channels. For your reference a list of the available channels and corresponding frequencies is printed on page 20. 1. The maximum RF transmit power of UH076SX is 5 Watts. To switch to low power, press 1/5w . LOW appears on the LCD. To switch back to higher power, press 1/5w again. LOW indicator disappears from the LCD. 2. Before you transmit, listen for activity on the selected channel. 3. When the channel is clear, press and hold the PTT to transmit.
USING A REPEATER CHANNEL UHF CB Repeaters are used to retransmit or relay your signal. Repeaters will extend the range of your radio and overcome the shielding effect caused by solid obstructions. In normal Simplex operation, your radio transmits on one particular frequency and receives on that same frequency. If there is a barrier (i.e. a Tall Building) that partially blocks your transmitted signal, the possibility of the other radio receiving the signal is very slim. Valleys, metallic structures, etc.
TO OPERATE UH076SX IN DUPLEX MODE Eg. CH01 is being used in your area for repeater use. Press dup momentarily. The DUP icon appears. dup Press again to deactivate the duplex operation. UH076SX will return to simplex operation. Check with your local retailer for available repeaters. SCANNING The UH076SX has two types of scanning; Open Scanning (OS) and Group Scanning (GS). Scanning allows you to search for active channels programmed in the OS or GS memory. To initiate scanning; 1.
If SCAN is deactivated while in an active channel, the UH076SX will stay on that active channel. If no other channels are active, the UH076SX will reinstate the starting channel. Group Scan (GS) Mode Allows you to monitor a Priority Channel while scanning. To use GS Mode Scanning, press the display. os/gs key. GS icon . appears on the GS Scanning checks the Priority channel activity regularly.
Programming Scan Channels 1. Select which Scanning Mode you wish to use OS or GS Mode. OS is indicated by the absence of the GS icon. 2. Select the channel you want to store by pressing or . 3. Press and hold mem for 1.5 secs. to store. MEM icon appears and two short tone beeps are heard. 4. To remove the channels from Memory, press and hold mem for 1.5 secs. once more. Two short tone beeps are heard and the MEM icon disappears.
ADVANCED FEATURES CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) CTCSS is a feature that allows a group to talk to each other without hearing other users on the same channel. Programming CTCSS Code 1. Select a desired channel to be used with CTCSS. 2. Press and hold ctcss for 1.5 secs. CTCSS icon blinks. 3. Press or to select the desired CTCSS code. 4. Press ctcss to save the selected code. CTCSS icon stops blinking. The UH076SX will return to standby mode after 10 secs. of no activity.
VOX feature will not work without the Vox Headset Microphone. The built in mic of UH076SX is temporarily disabled, however accidental pressing of PTT will cause the unit to transmit briefly. To activate VOX 1. Press and hold vox for 1.5 secs. VOX icon blinks. 2. Press either or within 10 secs to select the desired VOX sensitivity level (9 with the lowest sensitivity to 1 with the highest sensitivity). 3. Press vox 4. Install VOX Headset (not supplied) to UH076SX. to save the selected level.
POWER SAVE Battery Save feature extends the battery life by switching the receiver circuit power ON and OFF. This feature automatically activates during standby mode (RX mode without signal). BACK LIGHTING The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and function keys are backlit for easy viewing at night or in low light situations. The back lighting automatically switches ON every time a key (except PTT) is pressed. It turns OFF 5 secs after the last key is pressed.
BUSY CHANNEL LOCK-OUT (BCL) This feature prevents accidental transmission on a busy channel. This is recommended on channels where CTCSS is being used. If the channel is "active" and the signal is coming from a non or different CTCSS code user the BCL feature will prevent you from transmitting. To activate BCL Press and hold bcl for 1.5 secs. until BCL appears on display. To De-activate BCL Press and hold bcl for 1.5 secs. until BCL disappears from the display.
