From the MAIN MENU, press F2 twice and then F5 to access the
TRANSMIT DEVIATION LIMIT screen.
This screen can be accessed for Portables only. Refer to your Radio Service
Manual for the Transmit Deviation Limit Alignment procedure.
Transmit deviation limit alignment is a method of correcting for
deviation sensitivity versus RF frequency variations in the VCO. The
transmit and receive bands are divided into frequency zones with a
calibration point (value) in each zone.
Note: Compensation for each of these points must be checked
and adjusted if the VCO is replaced.
