1. Recall the Memory Channel “ EAI ” (must be the same as the
searched person’s radio), which is found in the next to the
last “regular” memory channel.
2. Set the CTCSS tone pair to the same CTCSS tone pair stored
in the Receiving Pager Code Memory of the missing person’s radio.

vides a “Short-cut” to Set Mode Item 63: PAGE CODE-

2) Rotate the
DIAL

3. Press and hold in the PTT switch for five seconds. If the EAI signal is received by a
VX-8GE
transceiver programmed with matching EAI CTCSS tones the EAI feature
will activate. The lost operator’s radio will beep loudly, and its transmitter will re-
spond repeatedly. You may now begin direction-finding efforts.
4. The ATT (Front End Attenuator) is often useful in locating
the missing person’s radio, as peaks in weaker signals are
more easily observed. You may select the ATT level “
ATT 1
(10 dB),” “ ATT 2 (50 dB),” and “ ATT OFF ” by pressing the
B
key to reduce the signal.
5. Press the
c
key to exit to normal operation.
