Wouxun are not well organized and poorly translated. This revised manual addresses that shortcoming. This guide is designed to teach you how to manually program the radio. It will not duplicate some sections of the Wouxun manual (i.e. safety, description of functions, shortcut sheet, SOS function, wire cloning, charging, programming guide, troubleshooting, CTCSS-DCS charts, specifications, accessories, certifications).
The mode determines what is shown on the LCD display and how the radio behaves. The two most important modes, VFO and Channel Mode, can also be toggled to display either dual or single frequencies. Note that “Frequency” and “Channel” modes as used by Wouxun are the equivalent of “VFO”...

Normally, amateur radio repeaters have an rx/tx offset of 600KHz on the 2M band, 1.6MHz on the 1.25M band and 5MHz on the 70CM band. If you wish to program an oddball offset or otherwise operate cross-band you can directly program such offsets with software or use what Wouxun refers to as “dis-channel”...
5 Standby, Scanning, Reverse, Monitor, and DTMF “Standby” is used by Wouxun to refer to watching activity on both frequencies (dual receive) when in dual frequency or dual channel modes, “Scanning” is an automatic frequency/channel change to detect busy frequencies, “Reverse” refers to receiving the transmit frequency of a repeater input and “Monitoring”...
5.3 Scanning CTCSS/DCS This advanced feature enables one to scan for a signal that is being transmitted on a repeater input frequency and determine the CTCSS or DCS tone/code necessary to access that repeater. This function only works in VFO Mode on the master frequency (indicated with a ► arrow): Toggle to VFO Mode: MENU TDR (there should be no channel numbers at right side of LCD display).
5.7 DTMF DTMF encoding (touch tones) are available by pressing and holding the PTT button while at the same time pressing the required DTMF tone code keys on the keypad. For example, to access an IRLP link through a repeater you might enter the following codes: PTT hold, # 9 3 1 4 DTMF touch tones for A, B, C and D can be transmitted by pressing MENU , ▲...

10 Software Software programming of the Wouxun radios enables additional features not available through manual keypad strokes or menus. These features may include: mode switch password, reset password, welcome message, priority scan channel, set scanned channels, DTMF options and frequency range unlocks.
