VHF COMMUNICATIONS TRANSCEIVER
To program frequencies into memory:
1. Pull the 25K/MEM knob out and rotate it to select a C~annel number (1-9).
2. To enter the frequency, push the 25K/MEM knob back in. The MHz portion of the frequency
may be incremented or decremented in 1 MHz steps with the MHz 'mob. As each band edge
(118 or 135 MHz) is reached, the next transition of the MHz knob will cause dashes (---)
to be displayed. Rollover to the opposite band edge will occur at the next switch
transition. The KHz portion of the frequency may be incremented or decremented in 25 KHz
steps with the 25K/MEM knob.
~. If it is desired to program less than nine
(9) channels, store dashes (---) in the
unwanted channels. In the Channel Mode, channels proqrammed with dashes will be skiooed.
4. When all channels have been programmed, press the transfer button to exit the Proqram
Mode. The radio will now be in the Channel Mode of operation. The radio will
automatically exit the Program Mode and enter the Channel Mode if at any time while in the
Program Mode a twenty (20) second interval lapses with no switch activity.
While in the Program Mode the radio remains tuned to the frequency displayed in the USE window
before this mode was entered.
C. Channel Mode
The Channel Mode is used to recall for use the channel information previously stored in t~e
Program Mode. In order to enter the Channel Mode, the Program Mode must first be entered and
"uuu" must be programmed into Channel O. After these requirements are met, either oressing
the transfer button or allowing twenty (20) seconds to elapse without any switch activity will
cause the radio to enter the Channel Mode.
To recall channel information, pull the 25K/MEM knob out and rotate it until the desired
channel number appears in the USE window. The channel number will be displayed for
approximately two
(2)
seconds after which the USE window will display the active frequency.
The frequency programmed into the channel selected will be displayed in the STANDRY window and
may be transferred to the USE window by pressing the transfer button. The radio will remain
tuned to the last active frequency displayed until the recalled channel information is
transferred to the USE window.
When operating in the Channel Mode, frequencies displayed in the STANDBY window may f}e
temporarily altered with the frequency selectors and transferred to the USE window. MHz and
KHz frequency selection is the same as in the Program Mode. If the orogrammed frequency for a
particular channel is changed in this manner, the original frequency remains in storaqe and
will be displayed the next time that channel is recalled.
D. Direct Tune Mode
The Direct Tune Mode allows direct selection of frequencies displayed in the USE window.
To enter the Direct Tune Mode, the radio must first be turned off. Hold the transfer button
depressed while simultaneously turning t~e radio on, then release the transfer button. Both
windows will display 120.00 and the frequency selectors may be used to enter frequencies
directly into the USE window. MHz and KHz frequency selection is t~e same as in t~e Frequency
Mode.
Entering the Direct Tune Mode automatically programs dashes (---) into Channel O. Therefore,
if the transfer button is depressed after entering this mode, the radio wi II enter t~e
Frequency Mode of operation.
To return to the Channel Mode after operating in the Direct Tune Mode, it is necessary to
first enter the Program Mode and program "uuu" into Channel O. Channel information oreviously
programmed remains stored in memory so it is not necessary to re-enter this information. The
Channel Mode may then be entered by deoressing the transfer button.
