Selecting a Channel by Alphanumeric Identifier

To change the standby channel using the alpha identifier, use the cursor knob to move the cursor square around the

alpha identifier as shown below. Turn the value knob until the channel is your desired channel. Notice that

channels change alphabetically.

Using the Direct/Repeat Feature

The P-2000 supports both direct and repeat modes of operation. Any preset channel that has identical transmit and

receive frequencies is considered a direct channel. If the transmit and receive frequencies are different, the P-2000

considers the channel a repeater channel. Repeater channels can be temporarily changed into direct channels by

pressing the DIR button. This will temporarily copy the receive frequency into the transmit frequency. The direct

mode indicator will light. The following illustration shows radio 1 in direct mode.

It can take several seconds for the direct operation to be completed once the button has been

pressed.
