2.2.2 Power (1/25) / Channel Memory (M+)

Although the radio has a maximum transmit power of 25
watts, this is not always necessary if communicating with a sta-
tion or vessel that is very close. To reduce power consumption,
the transmit power can be reduced to 1 watt. This key operates
as a toggle, switching between 1w and 25w (Fig 2.3).
NOTE - Some channels are restricted to 1w transmit power. The radio
is programmed to switch to low power automatically when one
of these channels is selected

Channel Memory function
This will add the currently selected channel into the Scan
Memory. Press F then 1/25 - the LCD display will show ENT
indicating that the channel has been entered into the Scan
Memory. Pressing F then 1/25 if the channel is already in the
memory will remove it - indicated by DEL appearing on the
bottom line of the LCD display.

2.2.3 Dual Watch (D/W) / Channel Inhibit ( ) +

Revert function

Dual Watch enables the radio to scan between the selected
channel and the priority channel (normally Ch16). To activate
Dual Watch Mode, select the channel and press D/W - the D/W
legend will be displayed on the LCD.
NOTE The channel cannot be changed and transmission is inhibited
while in Dual Watch mode. To restore normal operation, either
press D/W, 16 or rotate the channel select knob anticlockwise.
Inhibit Function
Since the Scan function locks onto channels where a signal is
detected, it will lock onto a channel with a lot of interference
noise, or transmitting a continuous carrier wave signal, pre-
venting the radio from continuing the scan. The Inhibit func-
tion allows channels to be removed from the Scan sweep.
Pressing F then D/W ( ) will inhibit the selected channel -
indicated by INH appearing on the bottom line of the display
(Fig 2.4). Pressing F then D/W ( ) if the channel is already in
inhibited will restore it to the Scan - indicated by ENA appear-
ing on the bottom line of the display.
