Tune to 146.94MHz, press RPT for '-', transmit. Display shifts to 146.34MHz.

Simple Memory Storage

Stores frequencies/settings in 53 channels (1-50, L, U, C). Use F/M key to store.

Example: Store the 146.34/146.94 repeater data in memory 5

Steps to store frequency and offset into memory 5 using F/M and D/MR keys.

Recalling Memories

Use D/MR button to switch between dial and memory modes. Memory label shown in memory box.

DTMF Paging & Code Squelch

In Case Of Problems

Resetting the CPU

Two levels of reset. Clears memories, channel step, repeater shifts. Level 2 clears ARS limits.
