CCRadio2E
2-METER HAM (VHF) BAND (144 TO 148 MHZ)
The 2-Meter Ham Band is a popular radio band used by amateur radio
operators for civil defense. After a hurricane, earthquake or other calamity,
90% of emergency coordination at the local level takes place on this band.
Listening to this band during an emergency can be extremely valuable and
even life saving. For most people, the CCRadio2E will probably be their
first experience with Ham radio.
We have preprogrammed some of the most popular frequencies into the
five memories of the CCRadio2E. Different frequencies may be active at
your location, other than those preprogrammed into the memories. The
following are the frequencies and memory locations as they were originally
preprogrammed:
1) 146.520
2) 146.760
3) 146.880
4) 146.940
5) 147.000
You can program your frequencies of interest into a memory location at any
time.
To scan the five memory channels when in 2-Meter Ham, momentarily
press both of the Up and Down Tuning Buttons
at once, the radio
will scan the memories and automatically stop when it detects a voice
transmission. Raise the telescopic antenna up fully in a vertical position. It
is best to set the squelch level prior to scanning the memory stations. See
“Setting the Squelch” below.
SETTING THE SQUELCH
Background noise or static is present to some
degree at every location and on every frequency of the
2-Meter Ham Band. This is a normal con dition. If you set
the squelch above the background noise level, the radio
will remain silent until a voice
transmission is detected. It is best to set the squelch as low as possible
(to just before static is constant). This way you can hear signals that may
be weak. If you set the squelch too high, you may miss some weak voice
transmissions.
To adjust the squelch level, press and hold the main Tuning Knob in for
three seconds until the display changes. Turn the Tuning Knob slowly
clockwise from OFF through 12 (increasing squelch) until the radio just
becomes silent.
NOTE:
Squelch operates on the 2-Meter Ham Band only.
