[. . . ] NOTE: This function available for both internal and external speakers. 4 r Push and hold [PTT] to transmit, then speak into the microphone. · Transmit indicator lights. t Release [PTT] to receive. 2 BASIC OPERATION I Squelch function The transceiver has a noise squelch circuit to mute undesired noise while receiving no signal. I Dial select function Use the dial select function to adjust the tuning behavior of the [DIAL] keys--use 1 MHz tuning when you want to change the frequency in large increments; use regular tuning (25 kHz or 8. 33* kHz) when you want to change the frequency in smaller increments. to return to normal operation. D Setting the squelch level q Push [SQL] to turn the level adjusting mode ON. · `SQ 01' is loose squelch and `SQ 25' is tight squelch. (Initial level is `SQ 01') · `SQ 01' indicates that the squelch circuit is turned off. ·" " appears on the display. e Push [SQL] to return to regular operation. 1 MHz tuning selected I Side tone function When using an optional headset, such as those from the David Clark Co. via the OPC-871 HEAD SET ADAPTOR, the transceiver outputs your transmitted voice to the headset for monitoring. 17) Regular tuning selected I LCD backlight control The backlight of the can be set OFF, Low or High. Push [DIAL] to toggle the backlight control; OFF, Low or High are available. 5 NOTE: Large tuning steps should be used only when you want to change the frequency in large increments. Please select regular tuning steps for normal operation. SCAN OPERATION I Scan operation q Push [V/M] to select memory mode or VFO mode, if necessary. · " MR " appears on the memory mode. 3 highest frequency · VFO scan Repeatedly scans all frequencies over the entire band. (eg 25 kHz or 8. 33* kHz) *Except USA version lowest frequency Start Scan Jump w Make sure the squelch level is set to the threshold point. · Set a squelch level (01 to 25) where the noise is muted. e Push [SCAN] to start scan. · To change the scan direction, turn [DIAL]. e To cancel dualwatch, push [PRI] again. 7 MEMORY PROGRAMMING I Programming a memory channel The transceiver has 20 memory channels for storage of often -used frequencies. w Turns the [DIAL] to select the desired frequency. · Push [DIAL/TS] one or more times to use the dial select function, if desired. 4 D Setting lock out channels In order to speed up the scan interval, you can set memory channels you don't wish to be scanned as lock out channels. q Push [V/M] to select memory mode, if necessary. · " MR " appears. w Turn the [DIAL] to select a memory channel to set as a lock out channel. to toggle the lock out setting ON/OFF. · "LOCK OUT" appears when the channel is set as a lock out channel. e Push [V/M] for 5 sec. to enter memory programming mode. · " MR " and memory channel number appear. Memory channel 8 is set as lock out channel. r Turn the [DIAL] to select the desired memory channel number. to program the information into the channel and return to VFO mode. · Push [SQL] for 1 sec. to clear the memory information. *NOTE: The VFO/memory switch [V/M] and the memory write switch [M/W] functions may not be available depending on version. 8 4 MEMORY PROGRAMMING I Memory names ï Programming memory names q Select the memory channel to be programmed: Push [V/M] to select memory mode. to enter memory name writing mode. · The first character of the name flashes. NOTE: ·Push PTT switch to abort the programming memory name. · The following characters can be used in names: 0 to 9, A to Z (capitals), (space), $, %, ', (, ), , +, " , ", ­, /, <, =, >, ?, @, [, \, ], ^, _ and `. e Turns the [DIAL] as many times as necessary to enter the desired name. · To erase a character, overwrite with a space (displayed as _). · Memory channels can be programmed with names of up to 7 characters in length.
