4 Quick-Start Guide
The key concept to understand the Wouxun KG 1-2-3 series radios is
“ mode ”
. These radios have five modes:
•
VFO (Frequency) Mode
•
Channel Mode (which has 3 sub-modes)
•
Menu Mode
•
FM Radio Mode (see Section 8.1.1)
•
Dealer Mode (see Section 4.5)
The mode determines what is shown on the LCD display and how the radio behaves. The two most important modes, VFO and Channel Mode, can
also be toggled to display either dual or single frequencies. Note that “Frequency” and “Channel” modes as used by Wouxun are the equivalent of
“VFO” and “Memory” modes as used by Japanese radio manufacturers.
It is essential to know how to switch between these modes.
4.1 Switching Between Modes
Turning the
POWER SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL
knob clockwise for the first time the radio should be in dual frequency VFO Mode. After a 3
second system initialization you will see a 146 MHz (2M) frequency displayed above a 440MHz (70CM) frequency.
If not in VFO Mode the radio will be in Channel Mode. This is obvious by the fact that channel numbers will be seen at the far right of the LCD
display.
To toggle between VFO and Channel Modes: MENU TDR
To toggle between single and dual frequency display in either VFO or Channel Mode: TDR
(if dual frequency is selected then
TDR
appears at top centre of LCD display)
(if single frequency is selected then UVxx replaces the secondary frequency/channel)
To select the master frequency when in dual frequency display in either VFO or Channel Mode:
A/B
(master frequency is indicated by an ► arrow at left side of LCD display)
