5.4 Channel selection

There are two modes of operation: Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory (MR) mode.

For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Frequency (VFO) mode. However,

Frequency (VFO) mode is very handy for experimentation out in the field. Frequency (VFO) mode is also used for

programming channels into memory.

In Channel (MR) mode you can navigate up and down the channel by using the ▲/▼ keys or the encoder.

Ultimately which mode you end up using will depend entirely on your use case.

In Frequency (VFO) mode you can navigate up and down the band by using the ▲/▼ keys.

Each press will increment or decrement your frequency according to the frequency step

you've set your transceiver to.

You can also input frequencies directly on your numeric keypad with kilohertz accuracy.

The following example assumes the use of a 12.5 kHz frequency step.

Example. Entering the frequency 432.56250 MHz on display A

a. In standby mode, press and hold the [MENU] key to switch to the frequency (VFO) mode.

b. Press [A/B] until the

icon appears next to the upper display. .

c. Enter [4][3][2][5][6][2][5] [0] on the numeric keypad.

The use of Channel (MR) mode is dependent on actually having programmed in some

channels to use.

Once you have channels programmed and ready, you can use the ▲/▼ keys or the

encoder to navigate between channels.
