M/SCAN
: This feature allows the user to scan all the 5 saved channels to the memory. To activate this feature, press the “Func”
button first and then press the “SCN/M/SCAN” button. To turn off, repeat steps.
Shift Offset Frequency:
To access press the “SCN/M/SCAN" button for 3 seconds or more, the shift frequency will appear on
the display, then use the “up” and “down” button to select the desired shift frequency from 0 to 990 KHz.
3. MODE:
Allows selection between the four operational modes of the radio (AM/FM/USB/LSB). To select your desired
mode, press the "Mode" button until you see the desired mode on the display.
Selectable Hi/Low Power:
The unit has been designed with proprietary circuitry that gives superior transmitting performance
and gives the user the ability, depending on the usage application they are in, to select between two power levels. Low power
output mode will give the user significantly longer battery life estimated twice as long as when in the full power mode. It is
recommended that when you only need a range of 1/2 mile or less, the "low" position would provide more than adequate output
power. If you need distances greater than that, leave the radio in the "Full" power mode.
To Change the Power Output Level:
A) Press and release the "Func" button.
B) Then press and release the "MODE/H/L" button. The word "Low" will appear on the display. The power out level is now 1
watt on AM and FM modes only.
C) To return to full power, simply press the "Func" button again, followed by the "MODE/H/L" button. This will return the
radio to the full power position.
4. FREQ:
This button is used for select one of the frequency step (1 KHz, 10 KHz and 100 KHz).
CH.FQ Function:
This function allows the user to activate the shift offset frequency and transmit higher or lower than
displayed or receive frequency. To activate, press the "Func" button first, followed immediately by the "STEP/CH.FR" button.
The sign "+" will appear on the display, now the unit will transmit higher than receive frequency. To transmit lower than
receive frequency, repeat the same procedure until the"-” sign appear on the display. To disengage these operations repeat same
procedure until "+"and"-" sign disappear.
5.
BAND:
This button is to switch between 10 and 12 meter bands.
Lock:
The LOCK feature allows the user to "LOCK" virtually all of the button features on the radio so that once they are set,
they can not be changed. This will prevent the radio from having its operation modes changed once the user has them set the
way they like. To activate, press the "FUNC" button, followed by the “CH9
/19 LOCK
" button. The symbol "O " will appear
on the display. With this feature activated, the only buttons that will work are the Light (longer than 1 second the "Func" button)
and the PTT (Transmit) button. To deactivate, simply press the "Func" button again, followed immediately by the “CH9
/19
LOCK
" button.
6.
SQ (Squelch):
Used to eliminate background or “white” noise when monitoring strong signals. To activate the squelch
control press “
SQ, MICG, RFG/RPT” button and then use the “up” and “down” button to set the desired point where the
background noise is just eliminated.
MICG (MIC-Gain):
When activated, the MIC-G feature adjusts the microphone gain in the transmit mode. Typically the MIC
Gain is kept at maximum level. Lower the microphone gain if you find that your transmitted audio is distorted.
To adjust MIC
gain, press the “SQ
, MICG, RFG/RPT
" button 2 times until the word 'MC-G" appears on display. Then use the “up “and
“down” button to increase or decrease microphone amplifier gain.
RF-G (RF Gain):
Allows optimizing the incoming signal. To activate, press “SQ, MICG, RFG/RPT” button 3 times until the
word “RF-G” appear on the display. Use “up” and “down” button to increase and decrease the receiver sensitivity. Activating
the "RF-G" feature helps to attenuate very strong signals that are produced from another radio that is in close proximity to the
unit. Turning this feature to maximum position creates full receiver sensitivity.
RPT:
Repeater access tone on and off` control. Most repeaters require an 88.5 Hz tone burst to access. To activate the 88.5Hz
tone burst, press the “Func” button and then the
“SQ
, MICG, RFG/RPT
" button .RPT will appear on the LCD display
indicating that the tone burst will now automatically be transmitted whenever the PTT is pressed. To deactivate, repeat the
same procedure.
