Explanations for certain programming parameters: A special tone which is not available in the pull down
menu may be inputted. (Examples: CTCSS - 54.5, DCS - H022).
The Narrow/Wide band (Step) are determined automatically according to frequency input.
When Open CH is YES, the radio will transmit normally. If Open CH is NO, the radio will only transmit when
it receives a call from another radio/user. (Normally leave YES as default).
Shift allows the RX frequency input for elimination of adjacent channel interference, or the user can edit (for
prevention of adjacent channel interference). When the other relevant receiving selection items (including 2
Tone) are vacant and the RX frequency is inputted, the initial values are placed automatically from the
selections in the Default Value Tab of Input Setting Menu. If a value exists already, it is not changed
automatically.
As per the TX transmitting setup, the same method with RX receiving is applied.
Shortcut Key (S-Key) allows the radio/user to obtain channel(s) that are often used. When the Shortcut
option is activated via a pre-determined button on the radio, those channels with S-Key as YES will allow the
radio/user to obtain those channels quickly through the channel selector switch.
