be programmed to operate above or below the scan limits.
Memory Scanning
The DX 2527 has 10 non-volatile (i.e., memory resident)
memory locations that can be programmed with any available
frequency within the operating band of the radio. The scan
function of the unit can be programmed to scan these memory
channels. The radio will then scan only those memory channels
that have been pre-programmed.
The first step in utilizing the memory scan function is to
program the desired frequency into the radio memory. This can
be accomplished by performing the following steps:
1. With the radio operating in the manual mode, press the
PRG
(Program) button.

2. Press the
MEM
button.
"PRG"
should be display in the
lower right-hand corner of the LCD display window. In the
upper left portion of the display,
"MEM"
should be

MEM
key
will increase the memory counter to the next memory
location and the contents of that memory location will be
displayed.
3. Using the
SHF
button and
UP
and
DOWN
arrows, enter
the frequency to be stored in the memory location
displayed. After the desired frequency has been entered,
press

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all of the memory locations to be
programmed.
5. After the desired memory locations have been programmed
with frequencies, return the unit to the manual mode of
operation by pressing the
MAN
button.
6.
To initiate memory scanning, press
MEM
and then press
SCAN
. As previously discussed, the display will show
"SCAN+"
or
"SCAN-"
to indicate whether the radio is
scanning from the lowest to the highest memory location or
vice versa. To return the radio to normal (non-scanning)
operation, press the
MAN
button.
Offset Frequency Operation
The DX 2527 has an offset or split frequency feature that will
permits the radio to be operated in a half-duplex mode. This
will allows the user to talk on FM repeaters operating in the 10
meter band. This split frequency function offsets the
