14 Basic Use
By using the monitor function, enabled from the key below the PTT, you can
more easily adjust your volume by adjusting it to the un-squelched static.
Making a call
Press and hold the PTT button on the side of the radio body to transmit. While transmit-
ting, speak approximately 3-5cm from the microphone. When you release the PTT your
transceiver will go back to receive mode.
Channel selection
There are two modes of operation. Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory
(MR) mode.
For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Fre-
quency (VFO) mode. However, Frequency (VFO) mode is very handy for experimenta-
tion out in the field. Frequency (VFO) mode is also used for programming channels into
memory. For details on how to program your transceiver see Chapter 10, Programming.
Ultimately which mode you end up using will depend entirely on your use case.
Frequency (VFO) mode
In Frequency (VFO) mode you can navigate up and down the band by using the
and keys. Each press will increment or decrement your frequency according to the
frequency step you've set your transceiver to. For details on how to set the frequency
step on your transceiver see Chapter 4, Working the menu system and the section called
“1 STEP - Frequency Step” in Appendix B, Menu definitions.
You can also input frequencies directly on your numeric keypad with kilohertz accuracy.
However, the radio will floor to the nearest frequency that correspond to your frequency
step. In other words, when you input frequencies with greater than 1kHz resolution (such
as 145.6875 MHz in the example below), always round your input up.
The following example assumes the use of a 12.5kHz frequency step.
Example 3.1. Entering the frequency 145.6875 MHz on display A
1.
Use the key to switch to Frequency (VFO) mode
2.
Press until the appears next to the upper display (display A).
3.
Press the key until you get to VHF. The display should read somewhere be-
tween 136 and 174 MHz.
