or turn the Squelch control counterclockwise until you hear the
receiver noise. The
MAN
button will disable the Scan function.
(See Frequency Scanning for more information.)
Split Function
This function enables you to split the transmit and receive
frequencies for FM repeater operation. To split frequencies, press
the
MAN
button and the
SPLIT
button to split
frequency. If you want - split frequency, press the
SPLIT
button
again. If + split is selected, the transmit frequency will be higher
than the receiver frequency. If - split is selected, it will be lower
than the receive frequency. (See Offset Frequency Operation for
more information.)
Memory Function
The DX 2527 can store up to 10 channels (from 0 to 9). To
program a frequency into memory, follow the procedure
described below:
1. Press the
MAN
button.
2. Press the
PRG
button.
3. Press the
MEM
button. (
"MEMORY"
and
"0"
should appear
on the left-hand side of the LCD display. Pressing the
MEM
button will advance the memory number from
"0"
to
"9"
.)

Press the
ENT
button.
6. Repeat the procedure to program other memory channels.
Memory Channel Scanning
You can scan and select any of the 10-programmed frequencies
by following the procedure described below:
1. Press
MAN
button.
- 15 -
2. Press the
MEM
button.
3. Slowly turn the Squelch knob clockwise until the receiver
noise disappears.
4. Press the
SCAN
button. The unit will scan from lower to
higher frequencies. Press again, the unit will scan from higher
to lower frequencies.
5. To stop scanning a certain channel, press the
MAN
button, or
turn the Squelch knob counterclockwise until you hear the
receiver noise.
Metering
The meter built into your
DX 2527
on the left hand side of the
LCD display provides the following information:
1.
RF/SWR METER:
This meter operates during transmit
only. It indicators power output or SWR.
2.
S/MOD METER:
This meter indicates incoming signal
strength during receive and your modulation percentage while
transmitting on AM. Modulation indications are most accurate
at maximum AM output. There is no reading while transmitting
on FM or SSB.
Frequency Scanning
Frequency scanning can be achieved using one of two methods:
the first method involves scanning of pre-programmed memory
channels; the second method will permits the user to scan all
frequencies between a pre-set upper and lower scan limit. Both
methods of frequency scanning follow.
All-Frequency Scanning
To allow all Frequency scanning, one must first program the
upper and lower scanning limits. The scan limits are simply the
highest and lowest frequencies that will be scanned. To program
these limits, perform the following steps:
