, the frequency changes in this selected
tuning step.
The set tuning step is also used for a VFO scan.
• Select 5, 10, 12.5, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0 or 50.0. (in kHz)
Reverse Duplex
Selects “ON” when reversing

frequency shifts from the operating frequency.
When the Reverse Duplex is set to ON, the receive
frequency shifts from the operating frequency.
• Set between 0 ~ 20 (in MHz)

DTCS squelch operation.
Settable DTCS codes:
Output Power
Selects the default output
power of each channel.
• Select L1 (Low1: 1 W), L2 (Low2: 2 W) or H (High: 5.5 W).
TIP:
Lower output power during short-range communica-
tions may reduce the possibility of interference to
other stations.
Bandwidth
Sets the bandwidth (channel
spacing).
• Select N (Narrow: 12.5 kHz) or W (Wide: 25 kHz).
Repeater Tone Frequency
Sets the subaudible tone
frequency that is needed to
access the repeater.
Settable frequencies:
Tone Squelch Frequency
Sets the CTCSS tone fre-
quency for the tone squelch
operation.
