SCANNING FUNCTION
(5 second talkback delay)
Select the band you wish to scan with the band switch. (You can not scan VHF Low band).
To start scanning of the memory channels, press
FUNC
then
SCAN
and then the number (1,2,3,4,5)
of the desired scan list.
The radio will scan through all the preset memory positions in the selected scan list (see above
paragraph for priority and selective scan features) and will lock on to the first active channel in the
scan sequence. It will remain on the channel until it becomes inactive. Scanning will resume again
after five seconds of inactivity. To exit the scan mode, press the
SCAN
key. This will cause the radio
to revert back to the normal operating mode.
If while scanning, you hear a call for you:
1.
Respond to the call within 5 seconds. When scanning is interrupted by an
incoming signal, the channel will remain open for five seconds before resuming
scanning.
2.
During communications the five second timer is reset from the last Rx or Tx
signal encountered.
The radio resumes scanning once the Rx or Tx activity has ceased for more than five seconds.
The
SCAN
key must be pressed to exit the scan mode.
2.6
DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY MODE
This mode is designed to facilitate quick frequency selection during emergency and other operational
conditions requiring direct operating frequency selection. This operating mode is disabled along with
the programming mode when the internal disable jumper is set.
1.
When the transceiver is in the normal operating mode, press
FUNC
and the desired
operating frequency ie/ 153.2750.
2.
On the UHF band press
FUNC
and then
1
and the desired frequency ie/ 443.5500.
3.
You will then be asked for 12.5 or 25.0 kHz channel spacing. Select with
MUP
or
MDN
and
press
ENTER
.
Please note in the above operation, after
FUNC
and "
1
" are entered, the LED display will show
memory channel "000" and then the remaining digits in the desired frequency are shown as they are
entered. No alphanumeric message can be entered in this mode. Operation on the new frequency
occurs in both transmit and receive (simplex only) modes. If RX or TX CTCSS tones/DPL codes are
required they must be programmed in afterwards.
2.7
RECEIVE FREQUENCY SIMPLEX FUNCTION
(Repeater Talkaround)
The receive frequency simplex function allows you to quickly change the transmit frequency, when
operating on a split pair (repeater/semi-duplex mode), to the receive frequency to allow direct
communications. ie/ If you are transmitting on 152.000 MHz and receiving 152.555 MHz, select
VHF
on the band select switch and press
FUNC
then
UP
to transmit on 152.555 MHz. To return to the
split pair condition, you must recall the memory channel again. This is quickly done by pressing
M.UP
for one step up, then back down one step with the
M.DN
key.
2.8
KEYBOARD LOCKOUT FUNCTION
The keyboard can be locked out so that accidental pressing of keys does not change
frequency, etc., unknowingly to the operator. To lock the keyboard, press
FUNC
then
LOCK
. This
will disable all keyboard functions (except keyboard unlock) in the receive mode. The DTMF function
during transmit will not be affected. To unlock the keyboard, press and hold the
LOCK
key for two
seconds until the display indicates "UNLOCK".
