The “CHAN PARMS” menu parameter selects
the following conventional channel parameters that

“CHAN PARMS” parameter and then press the
Up/Down switch to display the desired parameter.
Then press the F2 key to select it. The squelch control
parameters are unique to the type of conventional
channel selected (analog or Project 25).
RX FREQ - Programs the receive channel frequency.
The digit being changed flashes, and press the Up/
Down switch to select the desired number for that
digit. Then press the F2 key to move to the next digit.
If an invalid frequency is entered, a beep sounds,
“INVALID” is briefly displayed, and the number must
be re-entered.
TX FREQ - Programs the transmit frequency the same
as RX FREQ above.
CTCSS/DCS Squelch Control (Analog Channel)
RX CODE - Programs the receive Call Guard
(CTCSS/DCS) code. The currently selected code is
initially displayed. Press the Up/Down switch to
select the desired code type (CTCSS analog or
DCS digital Call Guard). Then press F2 to select it
and enter the code number similar to programming
a channel frequency as just described.
TX CODE - Selects the transmit codes the same as
RX CODE above.
NAC Squelch Control (Project 25 Channel)
RX NAC - Programs the Network Access Code
(NAC) which can be any number from 0-4095. The
procedure is similar to programming a RX FREQ
just described. If an invalid code is entered, a beep
sounds, “INVALID” is briefly displayed, and the
code must be re-entered.
TX NAC - Selects the transmit NAC the same as
RX NAC above.
TX POWER - Selects the desired power output level.
Press the Up/Down switch to scroll through the
following choices. When the desired setting is
displayed, store it by pressing the F2 key.
•
POWER HI - High transmit power
•
POWER LO - Low transmit power
•
POWER SW - Switchable power selectable by
the High/Low power key. This choice is not
available if that key is not programmed.
TX TIMER - Enables or disables the time-out timer on
the current channel. Press the Up/Down switch to
select the on and off mode, and when the desired
setting is displayed, store it by pressing the F2 key.
Analog Channel Parameters
CHAN SPC - Selects either wide or narrow band
channel spacing. Press the Up/Down switch to select
“WIDE” or “NARROW”, and when the desired
setting is displayed, store it by pressing the F2 key.
SQ ADJ - Changes the preset squelch setting on that
channel. The default setting is “0” and values of –7 to
+7 can be selected. Increasing this setting 7
causes the squelch to open sooner so that weaker
signals can be received, and decreasing it toward –7
causes the opposite to occur.
Digital (Project 25) Channel Parameters
NOTE: Channel spacing and squelch level cannot be
changed on digital channels.
TG (Talk Group) Select - Press the Up/Down switch to
display the alias of the desired talk group and then
store it by pressing the F2 key. If talk group selection
is not permitted on the channel by programming, the
talk group cannot be changed.
