User's Manual
2-5
Selective memory scanning allows the user to select which of the 200 memory channels are
to be scanned or locked out when the scan function is invoked. To use this feature, follow
the PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS found in paragraph 2.3. Once the screen displays SCAN
or LOCKOUT, use the 1,2,3,4,5 or M.DN keys to toggle to the desired condition. The MDN
button acts as a clear while pressing one or more of the above numbers adds the memory to
the corresponding scan list or lists. Press ENTER when you are happy with your selection. In
normal operating mode the display will later show a "+" beside the memory channel number
if it has been included in any of the 5 scan lists.
NOTE: Scanning can only be performed on one band (either VHF or UHF) at a time. When the
transceiver is in the single mode (combined VHF and UHF audio) and the scan feature has been
invoked on one band, it will be interrupted when transmitting on the other band. In the Dual
mode, you are able to transmit on the second band without effecting the scan function on the
first.
2.5 SCANNING FUNCTION (5 second talkback delay)
Select the band you wish to scan with the band switch. (you can not scan the guard)
To start scanning of the memory channels, press FUNC then SCAN and then the number
(1,2,3,4,5) of the desired scan list.
The radio will scan through all the preset memory positions in the selected scan list (see above
paragraph for priority and selective scan features) and will lock on to the first active channel
in the scan sequence. It will remain on the channel until it becomes inactive. Scanning will
resume again after five seconds of inactivity. To exit the scan mode, press the SCAN key. This
will cause the radio to revert back to the normal operating mode.
If while scanning, you hear a call for you:
1. Respond to the call within 5 seconds. When scanning is interrupted by an
incoming signal, the channel will remain open for five seconds before resuming
scanning.
2. During communications the five second timer is reset from the last Rx or Tx
signal encountered.
The radio resumes scanning once the Rx or Tx activity has ceased for more than five seconds.
The SCAN key must be pressed to exit the scan mode.
2.6 DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY MODE
This mode is designed to facilitate quick frequency selection during emergency and other
operational conditions requiring direct operating frequency selection. This operating mode is
disabled along with the programming mode when the internal disable jumper is set.
1. When the transceiver is in the normal operating mode, press FUNC and the desired
operating frequency ie/ 153.2750.
2. On the UHF band press FUNC and then 1 and the desired frequency ie/ 443.5500.
3. You will then be asked for 12.5 or 25.0 kHz channel spacing. Select with MUP or MDN
and press ENTER.
Please note in the above operation, after FUNC and "1" are entered, the LED display will
show memory channel "000" and then the remaining digits in the desired frequency are shown
as they are entered. No alphanumeric message can be entered in this mode. Operation on the
new frequency occurs in both transmit and receive (simplex only) modes. If RX or TX CTCSS
tones/DPL codes are required they must be programmed in afterwards.
2.7 RECEIVE FREQUENCY SIMPLEX FUNCTION
The receive frequency simplex function allows you to quickly change the transmit frequency,
when operating on a split pair (repeater/semi-duplex mode), to the receive frequency to allow
