The tuning wheel incorporates two-speed tuning.
Rotating the tuning wheel faster, results in an increased
tuning speed.

Button Steps
The
button increases and the
button decreases
the frequency by fixed 1 MHz step increments with each
depression. The button may be held to auto-repeat the
frequency change.
DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY
Direct keyboard entry of a frequency for either trans-
ceiver ‘A’ or receiver ‘B’ is possible by pressing the
NUM
*
button followed by the numeric buttons 0-9 (decimal
point understood). With no activity, ‘NUM’ times out in
approximately 3 seconds.
Transceiver ‘A’:
Ensure that ‘A’ is selected. Press
NUM
*
followed by a numeric entry (6-digits maximum, 3-digits
minimum) in the range of 144.000 to 148.000 MHz.
For example:
Enter 146.190 MHz

To receive on the ‘B’ receiver, Press the
A / B
A
button to
display a box around the ‘B’ (
B
) adjacent to the lower
frequency (7-digit) readout. If the lower frequency
display is not shown (Standby condition), press the
MODE
B
button to display ‘VOICE’ in the lower center portion of
the display. Tune to the desired receive frequency by
using one of several methods covered in this section
(same methods as used for the ‘A’ receiver).
DUAL VFO’s
TRANSCEIVER ‘A’ VFO 1 and VFO 2
Two VFO’s (1 and 2) are provided for the ‘A’ transceiver.
Selection is made with the
2
VFO
button when ‘A’ is
selected. Each VFO can be set to any frequency in the
‘A’ tuning range and act as a temporary memory
location.
For example, suppose you want 146.190 MHz in VFO 2
while using VFO 1 to tune other frequencies.
Press
2
VFO
to select VFO 2 and tune to 146.190 MHz.
Press
2
VFO
to select VFO 1 and then tune other frequen-
cies as desired. To recall VFO 2, Press the
2
VFO
button.
RECEIVER ‘B’ VFO 1 and VFO 2
Two VFO’s (1 and 2) are also provided for the ‘B’ re-
ceiver. Selection is made with the
2
VFO
button when
B
is displayed. Each VFO can be set to any frequency in
the ‘B’ tuning range and act as a temporary memory
location. Programming is the same as explained for
transceiver ‘A’.
VFO 1 = VFO 2
This function is used to transfer the frequency of the
active VFO into the inactive VFO. This is handy if you are
tuning and would like to temporarily hold a certain
frequency as you continue tuning. For example, sup-
pose you are tuning in VFO 1 and come across a station
at 146.190 MHz you would like to occasionally check.
Press the
STORE
#
button followed by
2
VFO
(3 confirmation
beeps). Continue tuning and recall the station at
146.190 MHz anytime by Pressing the
2
VFO
button.
