SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 OPERATING FEATURES
The equipment has several important operating features which provide maximum flexibility,
performance and versatility. These features include:
1.
120 memory positions which can each be programmed with a transmit and receive
frequency with 25 or 12.5 kHz channel spacing, Tx/Rx CTCSS tones or DPL codes
and a 9-character alphanumeric title.
2.
Two guard channels which can each be programmed with a Rx frequency with 25,
20 or 12.5 kHz channel spacing, CTCSS Tx tone or DPL code and a 9-character
alphanumeric title.
3.
Scanning of preprogrammed memories with selective memory scanning, in 5 scan
lists.
4.
Priority scan of memory channel 1, if desired.
5.
Direct frequency entry mode.
6.
Receive frequency simplex function.
7.
Switchable RF output power between 1 watt and 8-10 watts.
8.
Lockout of keyboard to prevent inadvertent entries.
9.
Variable frequency mode to manually scan up and down in 2.5 kHz steps.
10.
LED display variable dimming mode.
11.
Selectable 90 second Tx time out feature.
12.
Quick download of any of the 120 memory positions to the guard memories.
13.
PC Memory Upload or download capability.
14.
Guard jumper (J15) to enable/disable Guard programming.
15.
Compatibility with industry standard Antenna Tuner Unit.
16.
Configuration Menu to enable/disable various functions as follows:
1.
Configuration Menu -
Pressing
ENTER
,
RCL
and
FUNC
together with all 3 front panel
switches in the “up” position while turning the radio on will put it into configuration
mode. The programming features that can be configured by this menu include:
a.
DPL –
Can be turned on or off with the MUP and MDN (4 and 7) keys.
This only removes the DPL entry step from the programming sequence
and does not stop memories that already have DPL codes from working.
This also applies to the rest of the on/off configurable items.
b.
Scan –
Can be disabled. Selecting FUNC and SCAN will do nothing if
Scan is off. The scan list indicator (+) will still display if it was previously
programmed.
c.
Rx CTCSS –
Can be turned on or off from the programming sequence.
This affects only the CTCSS tones for receive.
d.
FUNC 7
- Can be turned on or off. When off, the main memory channel
can not be dumped into one of the guard channels using function 7.
e.
LAST MEM –
If set to on, the last memory channel on the display will be
what comes up when the radio is turned on. If set to off, the last memory
that changes were made to will be what comes up when the unit is
switched on.
2. Guard Jumper -
Programming of the guard channels can be totally disabled by
removing J15. This way, the radio has to be disassembled in order to reprogram
either of the guard frequencies.
