Adjusting transmission Power
Your HP 125-K/HP 425-K can transmit with two power levels according
to the distance of your party station(s). Low and High levels can be
defined by default during programming, however we do recommend,
when possible, to use the Low power: it will increase the battery duty
and will reduce the risk to make interference with stations not owning
to your radio network which may sharing the same channel with you.
1) Repeatedly press the MENU key in order to access the command
menu and see on the display the message
Power
(normally you
have to press the key three times). You will also see a cursor on
either
L
or
H
.
2) Change the power as follows:
• If the low power is currently selected, press the
key to set
the high power; the cursor will move to
H
.
• If the high power is currently selected, press the
key to set
the low power; the cursor will move to
L
.
3) Repeatedly press the MENU key repeatedly to go through the
next menu item or press and hold to go to the previous menu
item, or press the
(clear) key to escape the menu and restore
the normal LCD condition.

After 5 seconds, if you are not pressing any key, the menu is
automatically escaped, so the display will automatically revert to
its normal condition.

Scanning channels
If you have more than one channel programmed, your HP 125-K/HP
425-K can scan them: in other words it can cycle through them and
stop when a signal is detected.
The advanced scan functions of the radio allow to optionally preset
two groups (g1 and g2) in order to independently activate the scanning
