Scanning for a Vacant Frequency
In some areas where the 2-meter band is being used heavily, you might have trouble
quickly finding a frequency not being used. To quickly scan for a vacant frequen-
cy, press F + V-SC. The transceiver scans up or down from the current-frequency
to the first unused frequency. To change the vacant scan direction, see ‘Setting
the Vacant Scan Direction.”’
RECEIVING TRANSMISSIONS
To receive transmissions, turn on the transceiver, adjust the volume and squelch,
and tune to a frequency.
TRANSMITTING
- There are two basic types of communication you can use with this transceiver.
These types are sometimes referred to as simplex and duplex. With simplex
transmissions, you transmit and receive on the same frequency. With duplex trans-
mission, you transmit on one frequency and receive on another. Duplex trans-
mission is the communications type you use when you communicate using a
repeater. You transmit to the repeater on one frequency (the input frequency),
and the repeater retransmits the signal at a different frequency (the output
frequency).
Caution: Do not transmit if you do not have a Technician Class or higher license
issued by the FCC. Doing so is illegal.
Follow these steps to communicate using simplex communications.
1. Turn on the transceiver.
2. Select the desired frequency.
3. If + or — is on the display, repeatedly press F++/- until neither symbol
appears.
4. Press LOW POWER so that the button is down. In this position, your transceiver
transmits at about 1 watt.
5. Begin communications.
