These two modes have different functions and are often confused.
Frequency Mode (VFO): Used for a temporary frequency assignment, such as a test frequency or quick field programming if
permitted.
Channel Mode (MR): Used for selecting preprogrammed channels.
Ex 1. Programming a Channel Repeater Offset with CTCSS Tone
EXAMPLE New memory in Channel 10:
RX = 432.55000 MHz
TX = 437.55000 MHz (This is a (+ 5) Offset)
TX CTCSS tone 123.0
a. Press the
key to switch between menus.
b. Press the [VFO/MR] key to set the radio to VFO mode, and the VFO icon is displayed on the right.
c.
[3][1] [1] [0] Deletes Prior Data in channel (Ex. 10)
d.
[1][2] 123.0 Selects desired TX encode tone
e. Enter RX frequency (Ex. 43255000)
f.
[3][0] [1][0] Enter the desired channel (Ex 10)
-->>
RX has been added
g. Enter TX frequency (Ex. 43755000)
h.
[3][0] [1][0] Enter the same channel (Ex 10)
-->>
TX has been added
i. Press [VFO/MR] key to return to the MR mode and the channel number will reappear.
Ex 2. Programming a Simplex Channel with CTCSS tone
EXAMPLE New memory in Channel 10:
RX = 432.6625 MHz
TX CTCSS tone 123.0
a. Press the
key to switch between menus.
b. Press [VFO/MR] key to set the radio to VFO mode, and the VFO icon is displayed on the right.
