the frequency step that has been set on the transceiver. Frequency steps can be set in the menu. See
the Menu Functions & Description chart or the Menu Definitions section for more details.
Frequencies can be input directly using the numeric keypad with kilohertz accuracy, however, the radio
will round up to the nearest frequency that corresponds to the frequency step setting. For example,
when a frequency is input with a value greater than 1kHz resolution (such as 145.6875 as show in the
example below), always round the value upward.
For the following example, assume a 12.6kHz frequency step is being used:
Entering the Frequency 145.6875 MHz on Display A
1. Use the [VFO/MR] button to switch to Frequency (VFO) Mode.
2. Press the [A/B] button until the black arrow appears next to the upper display (Display A) 3.
Enter [1] [4] [5] on the numeric keypad, it should look something like this:
4. When entering the final four digits, note that only three decimals can be entered on the keypad.
If 6875 is typed, it will not work as the last digit is omitted.
5. By rounding 145.6875 up to 145.6880, the frequency can now be entered.
6. Enter [6] [8] [7] on the numeric keypad, it should look something like this:
Note: Just because programming is enabled in a channel does not mean authorization is
granted for use of that frequency. Transmitting on frequencies without authorization is illegal,
and in most jurisdictions a serious offense. If caught transmitting without a license, fines can
be levied and, in some cases, jailtime.
Conversely, in most jurisdictions it is legal to listen. Contact your local regulatory entity for
further information on what laws, rules and regulations apply for your area.
Channel Mode (MR)
The use of Channel (MR) Mode is dependent on having previously programmed in some channels for
use. To learn how to program channels, reference
Once the channels are programmed in your radio and ready, use the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to
navigate between the channels. Please note that if you have channels already programmed with
transmit power set to low, you can use the [POUND] button to switch over to high power if you are
having issues getting through.
