Channel Editor
Receive-only channels are switched off by default. To

in your radio which will then allow access to programming
frequencies into channels 81 – 99 of your selected Channel
Bank. Receive-only channels can be programmed with
frequencies in the range 403 – 520 MHz.
To activate the Channel Editor
1. Switch the radio off.
2. Press and hold the
LEVEL key while switching the radio
on again.
3. ‘RXALL’ will be displayed briefly, indicating the RX
Channel Editor has been activated.
You can now press the 
or key to select channels
81 – 99 for programming.
Selecting Frequency Steps
NOTE: This menu option is only available when an RX-only
channel is selected.
The frequency step is the space between frequencies when
the
or key is pressed. The frequency step can be
set to either 12.5 kHz or 25.0 kHz. You should select a
frequency step that matches the channel allocations in the
frequency band you are programming. If in doubt, selecting
12.5 kHz will ensure you do not miss any useful channels.
When selecting 12.5 kHz or 25.0 kHz steps the appropriate
wideband or narrowband filter will be selected automatically
to ensure optimum performance.
1. Select a Receive-only channel.
2. Press and hold
MENU to select the menu.
