FEATURES
The equipment has several important operating features which provide maximum flexibility,
performance and versatility. These features include:
1. VHF and VLO bands that can be configured to be operated independently or as a single unit.
2. The unit can be set up as a crossband repeater, linking a VHF and VLO frequency in both directions.
3. 200 memory positions per band which can each be programmed with a transmit and receive frequency
with 25 or 12.5 kHz channel spacing, Tx/Rx CTCSS tones or DPL codes and a 9-character
alphanumeric title.
4. 2 guard channels which can each be programmed with a Rx frequency with 25 or 12.5
kHz channel spacing, CTCSS Tx tone or DPL code and a 9-character alphanumeric title.
5. Scanning of preprogrammed memories with selective memory scanning, in 5 scan lists.
6. Priority scan of memory channel 1, if desired.
7. Direct frequency entry mode.
8. Receive frequency simplex function.
9. Switchable RF output power between 1 watt and 8-10 watts.
10. Lockout of keyboard to prevent inadvertent entries.
11. Variable frequency mode to manually scan up and down in 2.5 kHz steps.
12. LED display variable dimming mode.
13. Selectable 90 second Tx time out feature.
14. Quick download of any of the VHF memory positions to the guard memories.
15. PC Memory Upload or Download capability.

Configuration Menu
- Pressing
ENTER
,
RCL
and
FUNC
together while turning the radio
on will put it into configuration mode.The programming features
affected are:
a)
DPL
-
Can be turned on or off with th MUP and MDN (4 and 7) keys. This only removes the DPL
entry step from the programming sequence and does not
stop memories that already have DPL codes from working. This also applies to the rest of the
on/off configurable items.
b)
Scan
- Can be disabled. Selecting FUNC and SCAN will do nothing if Scan is off. The scan list
indicator (+) will still display if was previously programmed.
c)
Rx CTCSS
- Can be turned on or off from the programming sequence. This affects only the CTCSS
tones for receive.
d)
FUNC 7
- Can be turned on or off. When off, the main memory channel can not be dumped into one
of the guard channels using function 7.
e)
LAST MEM
- If set to on, the last memory channel on the display will be what comes up when the
radio is turned on. If set to off, the last memory that changes were made to will be what
comes up when the unit is switched on.
f)
DUALMODE
- If set to on, the VLO and VHF bands are operated independently and simultaneously.
The radio is shipped with this feature OFF. Dual mode is not available on a TFM-530 with a
low band guard receiver installed.
g)
SIDETONE
- The TX audio circuit becomes active allowing you to adjust the sidetone level with the
VHF volume knob. When thedesired level is reached, press ENTER and this level will be set
for both VHF and VLO bands. The factory setting is 23.
Important:
You must set the side tone every time you go through the configuration menu
since the position of the knob is taken as the new level regardless of whether or not you
made an adjustment.
