Display Functions
Upon power up the unit will display initialization codes. After initialization, the unit will display an active and
standby frequency represented by “
Axxx.xxx Sxxx.xxx
” with the x’s representing the frequency. The first
frequency starting with the “A” is the active frequency, and the “S” is the standby frequency. When the unit is
transmitting the “A” will be replaced with a “T” to represent active transmit. When the unit is selecting a memory
station, the “A” and “S” will no longer be visible and the active portion will contain the seven-character description
and the standby will contain the frequency associated with the description.
3.1.3
User Controls
Refer to Figure 1: Unit Controls. The user controls consist of two sets of concentric rotary knobs. Both sets of
knobs contain three parts, the inner knob (the small one) the outer knob (the large one) and a momentary push button
(the end of the small knob). The left outer inner knob controls the squelch as well as the position of the cursor in
memory edit. The left inner knob controls the volume, allows for selection of a stored memory, and selects
characters in memory edit. The right knobs control the frequency, whether it is the standby frequency or entering
the memory frequency.
