Go to Prio A (Rewrite) Go to Emergency Single, Emergency Repeat Go to Man Down-- ON, Timer The channel attribution can only be set on the Memory channel Screen as shown above. (Cannot be set in the Edit window. ) However, the other items are programmable in the Edit window only. The Edit window appears by pushing the [Enter] key, double clicking or selecting in the sub menu window via right click operation with the mouse on the desired channel. 29 5 SCREEN MENU OPERATION-- PMR · Frequency-- RX, TX Enter receive and transmit frequencies within the following frequency ranges in either 5, 6. 25 or 7. 5 kHz steps* for the RX and TX boxes, respectively. IC-F31GT/GS : 136­174 MHz IC-F41GT/GS : 400­430, 440­480, 470­500, 490­520 MHz *according to version · Frequency-- Text Enter up to a 12-character text in the Text box for memory name, channel usage, etc. The usable characters are A­Z, a­z, 0­9, $, ', (, ), ­, /, <, =, >, @, [, \, ], _, {, |, } ~ and user original characters. When entering user original characters, enter `%' and the desired thumbnail number A to P (capital letter only). When no receive frequency is entered, other items cannot be programmed in the channel. 29), operating frequencies must be programmed from channel 1 without a blank. When programming a simplex channel (transmit and receive frequencies are the same), checks the simplex check-box for instant setting after receive frequency is programmed as follows. Go to CH Atr · Frequency-- Simplex Click the check-box when the same frequency as the receive is used for the transmit. -The " " mark appears in the check-box when checked. Programming example: When entering original character's thumbnail number C, enter as `%C. ' User original characters are programmed in 3-6 CHARACTER EDITOR (p. Go to 3-6 CHARACTER EDITOR · Frequency-- CH Inhibit Click the check-box when the channel is to be inhibited. The channel never appears on the transceiver, even if all the other items are programmed when the channel is inhibited. -The " " mark appears in the check-box when checked. 30 SCREEN MENU OPERATION-- PMR 5 · Frequency-- TX Inhibit Click the check-box when transmission inhibit is necessary. -The " " mark appears in the check-box when checked. · C. Tone-- Simplex Click the check-box when the same continuous tone as the receive is used for the transmission. -The " " mark appears in the check-box when checked. · C. Tone-- RX, TX Selects a desired CTCSS frequency from the list or enter a 3-digit DTCS code with polarity, N (Normal) or I (Inverse), for receive and transmit in the RX and TX boxes, respectively. · Scan-- 1­10 Click the check-box of the channel included into the desired scan list (scan group) 1­10. Only the checked channels in the same scan list are scanned when [Scan A] or [Scan B] switch is pushed. -The " " mark appears in the check-box when checked. RECOMMENDATION When programming a CTCSS/DTCS code, choosing a frequency/code, listed in the following tables is recommended. In case a CTCSS frequency/DTCS code other than below is used, sometimes the squelch system may not performed correctly. · Recommended CTCSS frequencies 67. 0 77. 0 88. 5 100. 0 114. 8 131. 8 151. 4 69. 3 79. 7 91. 5 103. 5 118. 8 136. 5 156. 7 71. 9 82. 5 94. 8 107. 2 123. 0 141. 3 162. 2 74. 4 85. 4 97. 4 110. 9 127. 3 146. 2 167. 9 · Recommended DTCS codes 023 065 131 172 261 346 025 071 132 174 263 351 026 072 134 205 265 364 031 073 143 223 271 365 032 074 152 226 306 371 043 114 155 243 311 411 047 115 156 244 315 412 051 116 162 245 331 413 054 125 165 251 343 423 173. 8 179. 9 186. 2 192. 8 203. 5 233. 6 210. 7 241. 8 218. 1 250. 3 225. 7 The scan list (scanning group) is selectable via [CH Up] or [CH Down] switches, after [Scan A] or [Scan B] switch is pushed for 1 sec.
