Notes:
• If the transceiver picks up unwanted weak transmissions,
rotate
SQ
slightly clockwise to decrease the transceiver’s
sensitivity to signals. The weak transmissions are
blocked.
• Your transceiver normally tunes the range of 430.000–
458.000 MHz. (To change to the extended range, see
“Changing the Frequency Range” on Page 19.)
•
BUSY
appears when the transceiver finds a standard
transmission. If you turn on the squelch and receive a
transmission that uses the matching CTCSS (subaudible
tone),
CALL
also appears.
4. You can use either manual tuning or direct frequency entry
to select a specific frequency. To manually select a fre-
quency, repeatedly press or hold down or until the dis-
play shows the desired frequency.
To directly enter a frequency, press
FUNC
+
(the second
digit from the left flashes), then press or to change the
number. Press
FUNC
+
again to select the next digit.
Repeat this to select each number of the frequency, then
press the
PTT
button to set the selection.
Note: Do not attempt to transmit unless you possess a valid
amateur radio license.
5. To transmit, hold down the push-to-talk button, then speak
into the microphone. Release the button to stop transmit-
ting.
