PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVE-ONLY 

CHANNELS

Note:

 

When programming, rotate the Channel selector 

SLOWLY . If you rotate the Channel selector too quickly, the 
internal counter will not be able to keep up with you and 
the frequency will not advance .

1 .   Select the Channel number that you wish to program 

(Channels 41 to 60) .

2 .   Press and HOLD the Channel selector until the radio 

beeps (about 2 seconds) . 'OFF' will appear to the right 
of the Channel number indicating there is no  
frequency installed .

3 .   SLOWLY rotate the Channel selector CLOCKWISE one 

click to activate frequency programming . 'OFF' will 
disappear and '46500' will be displayed indicating a 
frequency of 465 .000 MHz (the lower end of the radio's 
frequency range) .

Note:

 

Because the display is only able to show the first 5 

digits of the frequency, the last 'kHz' digit is not displayed . 
However, since the frequency can only be selected in 25 kHz 
steps, it is easy to 'guess' the actual frequency since the 
missing digit will always alternate between  
0 and 5 kHz . 

               e .g .

4 .   Rotate the Channel selector SLOWLY in a clockwise or 

counter-clockwise direction to set the desired frequency . 
Each click of the Channel selector will advance or reduce 
the frequency by 25 kHz . The maximum allowable 
frequency you can select is 485 .000 MHz .

Note: 

The radio is able to receive signals on the displayed 

frequency the instant you select it . This feature allows 
you to manually tune through the frequencies looking for 
signals or active Channels in your area .

5 .   To quickly step through the MHz, briefly press the 

Channel

 selector . A high beep will be heard . Now 

rotating the 

Channel

 selector will adjust only the MHz 

section of the frequency .

6 .   To return to normal 25 kHz frequency steps press the 

Channel

 selector again . A low beep will be heard .

STORING THE SELECTED FREQUENCY

7 .   Once the required frequency is displayed, press and 

HOLD the 

Channel

 selector for about 1 .5 seconds . The 

frequency will flash, then the radio will beep indicating 
the frequency has been stored .

To program other frequencies, repeat steps 1 to 7 above .

Once you have programmed the required Channels, switch 
the radio 

OFF

 to exit the programming mode .

Now when you switch the radio 

ON

, you will be able 

to select the usual 40 CB Channels plus the additional 
Channels you have programmed .

Note:

 

There is no provision to transmit on the Receive-Only 

Channels . If the 

PTT

 switch is pressed on a Receive-Only 

Channel, the radio will emit a low beep .

EDITING YOUR PROGRAMMED RECEIVE 

CHANNELS

The Receive-Only Channels you have programmed can 
be edited at any time . You do not need to re-enter the 
programming mode .

To edit a Receive-Only Channel:

1 .  Select the required Channel .

2 .   Press and hold the 

Channel

 selector until the radio 

beeps (about 2 seconds) . The frequency stored in that 
Channel will be displayed .

3 .   Slowly rotate the 

Channel

 selector to select a new 

frequency .

4 .   To store the new frequency, press and hold the Channel 

selector until the radio beeps .

DISABLING A RECEIVE-ONLY CHANNEL

If you no longer wish to display a Receive-Only Channel, 
you can switch it OFF so the Channel number no longer 
appears when selecting Channels . 

1 .   Select the receive-only

 

Channel that you wish to disable .

2 .   Press and hold the 

Channel

 selector until the radio 

beeps . The frequency will be displayed .

3 .   Briefly press the 

Channel

 selector to select the MHz 

frequency stepping mode . This will allow faster frequency 
changing .

4 .   Slowly rotate the 

Channel

 selector counter clockwise to 

reduce the frequency until OFF is displayed .

5 .   Press and hold the 

Channel

 selector to store the new 

setting .

SCANNING

The additional receive Channels can be programmed into 
your scan groups in the same way as your normal CB 
Channels . Simply select the required receive-only Channel, 
select the required scan group (Open or Group Scan), then 
press and hold the 

SCAN

 button until the radio beeps .
