If the other party advises that you need to improve your signal (QRO), press LOW
POWER so that the button is up. in this position, your transceiver transmits at the
highest power it can, depending on the power source. See ''Power Sources"' or
'Specifications' for these power levels. Remember to switch back to low power
whenever possible, to comply with the FCC rules that require you to use the mini-
mum power necessary to maintain communications.
Follow these steps to communicate using duplex communications.
1. Turn on the transceiver.
NO
. Tune to the desired receive (output) frequency.
ie)
. If the transmit (input) frequency is 600 kHz above the receive frequency, press
F++/-~ so that + apears in the display. If the transmit frequency is 600 kHz
below the receive frequency, press F+ +/-— so that — appears on the display.
If the frequency separation is not 600 kHz, either set a new default frequency
separation or store the frequency pair in one of the scanner's memories (See
'Using Memory Channels" and "Setting the Dupiex Separation').
LOCKING THE KEYPAD
To lock the transceiver's keypad so that you do not accidentally change a setting,
press F+LOCK. LOCK appears on the display. This locks all front-panel buttons
and the tune control. The PTT, VOLUME, and SQUELCH still operate. To release:
the lock, press F+LOCK
again.
SETTING THE KEY ENTRY BEEP
Each time you press a key, the transceiver sounds a beep. To turn off the beep,
press F + BEEP. The key beep does not sound for this or subsequent key presses.
To turn on the key beep, press F+ BEEP again.
REVERSING THE OFFSET
To reverse the transmit and receive frequencies when you are operating duplex,
press F+REV.
For example,
if you are set to 146.94 with a - offset pressing
F+REV makes the transceiver receive on 146.14 and transmit on 146.94.
