5.4 VFO/Channel Switch
Press [P1] key to switch between VFO and channel display.
• In channel mode (MR), the channel number will be displayed on the right.
• In frequency mode (VFO), the ‘VFO’ will be displayed on the right.
5.5 Frequency (VFO) mode
In Frequency (VFO) mode you can navigate up and down the band by using the or keys. Each press will increment or decrement your
frequency according to the frequency step you've set your transceiver to.
You can also input frequencies directly on your numeric keypad with kilohertz accuracy.
The following example assumes the use of a 12.5 kHz frequency step.
Example. Entering the frequency 462.5625 MHz on display A
(1) In standby mode, press [P1] key to switch to the frequency (VFO) mode.
(2) Enter [4][6][2][5][6][2][5] [0] on the numeric keypad.
WARNING!
Just because you can program in a channel does not mean you're automatically authorized to use that frequency. Transmitting on frequencies
you're not authorized to operate on is illegal, and in most jurisdictions a serious offence. However, it is legal in most jurisdictions to listen.
Contact your local regulatory body for further information on what laws, rules and regulations apply to your area.
5.6 Channel (MR) mode and Channel selection
There are two modes of operation: Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory (MR) mode.
For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Frequency (VFO) mode. However, Frequency (VFO) mode is
very handy for experimentation out in the field. Frequency (VFO) mode is also used for programming channels into memory.
In Channel (MR) mode you can navigate up and down the channel by using the or keys or the encoder.
Ultimately which mode you end up using will depend entirely on your use case.
Press [P1] key to switch the radio between VFO and Channel mode, select Channel mode.
• Operation 1: Press the or navigation key to select the channel.
• Operation 2: Input the channel numbers by the keyboard. For example, if you want switch to channel 12, input [0][1][2] a total of 3 digits, and
it will switch to channel 12.
