D Programmed scan
Repeatedly scans between two programmed frequencies
(memory channels "xA" and "xb"). Used to check for frequen-
cies within a specifi ed range, such as repeater output frequen-
cies, and so on. 3 pairs of scan edges are programmable.
NOTE: Scan edge channels, 1A/b, 2A,b and 3A/b must be
programmed in advance. Program them in the same man-
ner as regular memory channels.
If identical frequencies are programmed into the scan
edge channels, the programmed scan will not function.
q Push [VFO/MR/CALL] several times to select the VFO
mode.
w Push [FUNC](M), and then push [SCAN](5) to start the scan.
e During the scan, push [FUNC](M), and then push [SET](8)
several times to select either the "P1," "P2," "P3" or "AL"
scan.
• "AL" for band edge to band edge scan.
• "P1," "P2" and "P3" for programmed scan between the programmed
scan edge channels.
• To change the scan direction, push [Y] or [Z].
r To cancel the scan, push any key except [ ], [Y]/[Z],
[MONI] or [FUNC](M).
D Memory Scan
Repeatedly scans memory channels, except those set as
skip channels, described in the next scan topic.
q Push [VFO/MR/CALL] several times to select the memory
mode.
• "X" appears.
w Push [FUNC](M), and then push [SCAN](5) to start the
scan.
• To change the scan direction, push [Y] or [Z].
e To cancel the scan, push any key except [ ], [Y]/[Z],
[MONI] or [FUNC](M).
D Tuning step selection
The transceiver has 8 tuning step options;

Use the Key Lock function to prevent accidental frequency or
channel change and unnecessary function access.
➥ Push [FUNC](M), and then hold down [
](# ENT) for
1 second to turn the Key Lock function ON or OFF.
] • " " appears while the Key Lock function is ON.
• [ ], [VOL], [MONI], [PTT] and [FUNC](M) + [ ](# ENT) are
still operable while the Key Lock function is ON.
D Monitor function
This function is used to listen to weak signals, or to manually
open the squelch. You can use it without disturbing the squelch
setting, even when mute functions such as the tone squelch
are in use.
➥ Hold down [MONI] to open the squelch.
• Release [MONI] to cancel the function.
D Adjusting the squelch level
➥ While holding down [MONI], push [Y] or [Z] several times

• "SqL 1" is loose squelch (for weak signals) and "SqL10" is tight
squelch (for strong signals). "SqL 0" is open squelch.
D Selecting output power
Set the output power level to suit your operating requirements.
Lower output powers during short-distance communications
may reduce the possibility of interference to other stations and
will reduce current consumption.
➥ Push [FUNC](M), and then push [H/M/L](9) several times to
select the output power.
• " H," "M," or " L" appears, depending on the selected output power.
D Selecting a memory channel
• Using [Y] or [Z]
q Push [VFO/MR/CALL] several times to select the memory
mode.

w To select the desired channel, enter the 3 digits of the
channel number using the keypad.
• Blank channels are also selectable.
• Entering one or two digits, and then pushing [# ENT] also se-
lects a 1 or 2 digit memory channel, respectively.
D Selecting the Call channel
➥ Push [VFO/MR/CALL] several times to select the Call
channel.
• "C" appears instead of the memory channel number.
D Setting skip channels
The memory skip function speeds up scanning by not scan-
ning those memory channels set as skip channels. Set skip
channels as follows.

While operating on a VFO frequency, Priority Watch checks for
a signal on the selected memory or Call channel every 5 sec-
onds.
q Select the VFO mode, and then set the operating frequency.

mode or Call channel mode.
• For memory channel watch:
Push [Y] or [Z] to select a desired memory channel.
e Push [FUNC](M), and then push [PRIO](7) to start the
watch.
• The decimal point ".", on the frequency readout blinks.
• When a signal is received on the channel, the watch resumes ac-
cording to the selected scan resume option.
r To cancel the watch, push any key except [ ], [Y]/[Z],
[MONI], [FUNC](M), or [PTT].
• Memory scan watch
While operating on a VFO frequency, Priority Watch sequential-
ly checks for signals on each memory (except Skip) channel.
q Select the VFO mode, and then set the operating frequency.
w Push [VFO/MR/CALL] several times to select the memory
mode.
e Push [FUNC](M), and then push [SCAN](5) to start the
memory scan.

quency readout blinks.
• When a signal is received on a channel, the watch resumes ac-
cording to the selected scan resume option.
t To cancel the watch, push any key except [ ], [Y]/[Z],
[MONI], [FUNC](M), or [PTT].
■ Partial reset
If you want to reset the VFO frequency, VFO settings and Set
mode items to their default values, without clearing the mem-
ory contents, you can do a partial reset of the transceiver's
CPU.
q Hold down [ ] for 1 second to turn OFF the power.
w While holding down [VFO/MR/CALL], hold down
[ ] for 1 second to turn ON the power.

necessary.
w Push [FUNC](M), and then push [DUP](4) several times to
select minus duplex or plus duplex. ( "–" or "+")
e Push [FUNC](M), and then push [TONE](1) several times
to turn ON the subaudible tone encoder, depending on the
repeater requirements.
• " " appears.
• The subaudible tone frequency can be set in the Set mode.
r Hold down [PTT] to transmit.
• The displayed frequency automatically changes to the transmit
frequency (repeater input frequency).
• If "OFF" appears, confi rm that the frequency offset is correctly
set.
t Release [PTT] to receive.
y Hold down [MONI] to check whether you can directly re-
ceive the signal from the other station.
• When the other station's signal can be directly received, move to
a non-repeater frequency to use simplex. (duplex OFF)
For only USA version:
Auto repeater function uses standard repeater tone fre-
quencies and frequency offsets.
D Duplex operation
• Setting the frequency offset
q Push [FUNC](M), and then push [SET](8) to enter the Set
mode.
w Push [Y] or [Z] to select the frequency offset item.
• "±" and decimal point "." blink, and the current frequency offset
appears.
e Rotate [VOL] to set the desired frequency offset.
• The offset is set in the same step as the frequency tuning step.
• The unit of the frequency offset is "MHz."
r Push [# ENT] to exit the Set mode.
• Setting the duplex direction
➥ Push [FUNC](M), and then push [DUP](4) to select the off-
set direction.

represent the frequency offset direction.
• "–" or "+" blinks when the Reverse Duplex function is ON.
For only USA version:
The Auto Repeater function has priority over the manual
duplex setting. If the transmit frequency changes after set-
ting, the Auto Repeater function may have changed the
duplex setting. Turn the Auto Repeater function OFF to
prevent this.
