In channel mode, you can switch to desired channel by pressing three 

of the microphone numeric keys (001-758). For example, input 001 for 

channel 1;  input 030 for channel 30; input 512 for channel 512. If the 

input channel is not programmed with frequency, the transceiver will emit 

a warning beep and return to last channel.

This transceiver by default shows dual 

receive. A "MAIN" icon will display in the top 

right of the working frequency. Transmitting is 

only available on the main band. When the left 

band is main band, pressing the right selector 

knob will switch the right band to main band. Pressing the left selector 

knob will switch the left band to main band.

1. Left band VFO: press the bottom   key to switch it to VFO mode, 

press the left selector knob over one second, then repeat above 

operation to switch the left band between 108~180 MHz (RX:  

108-174 MHz, TX: 136-174 MHz),  220~260 MHz (RX only),  

350~399.995 MHz (RX only)  or 400~490 MHz.

2. Right band VFO: press the top 

 key to switch it to VFO mode; press 

the right selector knob over one second, then repeat above operation 

to switch the right band between 136-174MHz, 400~490MHz.
