Keypad Lock
TheKeypadLockdisablesthekeystopreventaccidentalkeypressesfromchangingthepreferred

Duplex Operation
Duplexoperationallowstheradiototransmitonadifferentfrequencytothatwhichitreceives.This
allowsoperationthroughrepeaterstationsinyourarea.Repeatersautomaticallyre-transmityour
signaloveramuchwiderarea,providinggreatlyincreasedrange.TheDuplexmodeonlyworkson
designatedrepeaterchannels1–8and41–48.WithDuplexselectedononeofthesechannels,
yourradioactuallytransmits30channelshigherthanitreceives.
e.g.IfDuplexisselectedonchannel1,yourradiowillreceiveonchannel1butwilltransmiton
channel31.
