A. Frequency Mode
Frequency selection is accomplished in the Standby Entry mode by changing the frequency
display in the STBY window of the display with the tuning knobs, and then transferring the
selected frequency into the USE window by pressing the Transfer button. The larger tuning
knob will increment or decrement the MHz portion of the display in 1MHz steps with rollover
at each band edge (118 MHz or 136 MHz). the smaller tuning knob will increment or
decrement the KHz portion of the display in 25 KHz steps with the knob pushed in or will
tune both the 8.33 KHz and 25 KHz channels with the knob pulled out. While in the Standby
Entry mode, the transceiver remains tuned to the frequency displayed in the USE window
at all times.
B. Channel Mode
Momentarily pressing the Channel (CHAN) button while in the Frequency mode puts the
radio in the Channel mode. The last active frequency remains tuned and displayed in the
USE window. The last used channel number is displayed in the channel digit unless no
channels have been programmed, in which case the radio defaults to Channel 1 and dashes
are displayed in the STBY window. Turning either tuning knob changes the channel number
and corresponding frequency in the STBY window.
The channels will only increment and decrement to channels that have been programmed.
If there has been no activity for five seconds the radio will return to Frequency mode and
the channel frequency is placed in the STBY window. Pressing the CHAN button before the
