Uniden Atlantis 290/295 Radio Owner’s Manual

For the best sound quality, hold the microphone about

two inches away from your mouth.

See the channel lists starting on page E-26 for a list of

receive-only channels.

Boost the transmission power

In most situations, low transmission power is all you need.

If you find yourself far away from other stations and have

trouble getting a response, you may need to boost the

transmission power from MID or LO to HI:

1. Select the channel you want to transmit on.

2. Press and hold

ENT

L/M/H

to change transmission

power level.

3. The display shows the new transmission power in the

upper left of the display. The transmit power remains at

the new setting until you change it again.

Note: Don’t forget to change the transmission setting

back to LO when you move close to other stations.

Some Marine VHF channels (for example, channels 13 and

67) limit the transmission power to 1 Watt. When you tune to

a limited-power channel, the radio automatically switches to

1 Watt. See the channel lists starting on page page E-26 for

a list of power-restricted channels.

Save a Channel to Memory

When you find a channel you’d like to keep, press and hold

SCAN/MEM

. Whenever you are on that channel,

MEM

displays. Press and hold

SCAN/MEM

again to remove that

channel from memory.

Scan Channels in Memory

Press

SCAN/MEM

to scan channels saved to memory. Press

SCAN/MEM

again

to stop scanning.

MENUS

The Atlantis 290/295 menu system lets you establish

parameters for the radio’s operation. You can access menus
