
EvenasaveteranuserIcan’tremembereverythingandfindmyselfreferringbacktothemanualforexplanationsofproceduresand
finditfrustratingtryingtofigureoutthewordingeverytime.Idecidedtowriteandprintthisformyselftomakeiteasiertousethe
radioandamhappytoshareitwithyou.Thisshouldalsomakeiteasierformostpeopletousesomeofthemoreadvancedfeatures
oftheradio(andgettheirmoney’sworthifyoupaidfullpricefortheradionew)asIwilltrytoexplainproceduresalittlemoreclearly
andinamorelogicalorder.Granted,thisradioisn'tsimplesoyouwillhavetospendsometimeonitbutthismanualwillmakeit
easier.Ifyoufollowtheredhighlightedtextintheprogrammingsections,youshouldfindwhatyouneedtoknow.Ifyouwanttofind
outwhat'sreallygoingonwiththeradio,readeverythingelse.

Someofthebetterfeaturesoftheradioarethatithas20banksbutyoucanonlyscan10atatime(groupAorB).PriorityID
scanning1IDperscanlist,5listsperbankandthenyoucantweakittoscanjustthepriorityIDs.Unlikesomeofthenewer
scanners,youcanseetheIDandchannelinformationinthedisplay.YoucanprogramjustthefleetorsubfleetforanEDACS
