Activate the Band Linking Feature
For operation on Amateur satellites which use a normal (not inverted) FM transponder, the
Band Link feature may be useful.

2. Band Linking does not work with AMSAT AO-51 (or similar) satellites.
1. Set both sides of the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the key, if necessary.
2. Press the SET key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #43 VFO.TR.
4. Press the DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to change
the setting to ON.
5. Press and hold in the DIAL knob for ½ second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation. 0.
As you rotate the DIAL knob, you will observe that the frequencies for both bands are
changing together. When you are done with this operating mode, select OFF in step 3 above.
