SELECTING A CHANNEL/FREQUENCY
■
Memory mode/VFO mode
The transceiver has 2 operating modes:
memory mode
and
VFO mode
. Memory mode is used to select pre-
programmed marine channels in one of the 3 channel
groups; VFO mode is used to select frequencies
around preprogrammed channels.
Push [CH/FREQ] to toggle between memory and VFO
modes.
• “FREQ” appears when in VFO mode.
• In VFO mode only simplex operation is possible.
■
Selecting a channel
The transceiver has 150 channels divided into 3
groups of 50 (max.) channels. However, the number of
channels in each group can be restricted in set mode
(pgs. 13, 14) depending on your needs.

NOTE:
When channel 0 and/or 2182 kHz is se-
lected with the [2182KHz] switch, channel selection
is NOT possible. In such cases, push [2182KHz] in
advance.
➀
Push [CH/FREQ] to select memory mode, if neces-
sary.

Rotate the [GROUP] selector to select the desired
channel group; then rotate the [CHANNEL] selector
