Programming Memory Channels
32 channel memories can be programmed. The radio is operational from 406.2 MHz - 470MHz. Specific channel
frequencies depend on national regulations and vary by market. Some frequencies are blocked in software by FCC
requirement for the US market.
Factory default settings are on 2 FCC Itinerant channel frequencies. 5 channels are programmed for each frequency;
4 with CTCSS values and 1 with CTCSS off.
For each channel, the programmed RX Freq. and TX Freq. can be programmed to the same value (simplex mode) or to
different values (duplex frequency mode) to accommodate any repeater frequency offsets.
Any channels on the main screen with RX Freq. and TX Freq. fields empty will not be written to the radio. These
channels will be empty, and unused channels will not display on the radio.
Manually entering a frequency
The programmed RX and TX Frequencies must be an integer multiple of 6.25 kHz or 5kHz. Entering other values will
result in error messages when the frequency is written to the radio. Frequencies can be typed directly.
