transceiver stays on frequency 29.300MHz and 29.600 as what has been selected. To
release Call monitoring, press "CH9/19 LOCK" button. The previously selected frequency
appears on the display. This function is only activated when the unit is in mode 1 (ham band)
operation.
Lock: The LOCK feature allows the user to "LOCK" virtually all of the button features on the
radio so that once they are set, they can not be activated. This will prevent the radio from
having its operation modes changed once the user has them set the way they like.
•
To activate, press the "FUNC" button, followed by the "CH9/19 LOCK " button.
•
The key symbol will appear on the display.
With this feature activated, the only buttons that will work are the Light (longer than 1 second
the "FUNC" button) and the PTT (Transmit) button.
•
To deactivate, simply press the "FUNC" button again, followed immediately by the
"CH9/19 LOCK " button.
Button 6: Squelch , Mic Gain, RF Gain, Repeater control
The squelch is used to eliminate background or "white" noise when monitoring strong
signals. To activate the squelch control press "SQ, MICG, RFG/RPT" button and then use
the "up" and "down" button to set the desired point where the background noise is just
eliminated.
MIC-G (MIC-Gain) : When activated, the MIC-G feature actually adjusts the microphone gain
in the transmit mode, On the unit activating the MIC-Gain feature would have its best
application when the user has a very strong, "booming" voice tone that would create a
distorted signal going into the microphone, because this situation will only occur in rare
situation. Mic-Gain feature in maximum position give the user to its maximum sensitivity.
•
To Turn-On, press "SQ, MICG, RFG/RPT " 2 times until the word 'MC-G" will
appear on display. Then use the "up "and "down" button to increase and decrease
microphone amplifier gain.
RF-G (RF Gain): Allows optimizing the incoming signal gain.
•
To activate, press "SQ, MICG, RFG/RPT" button 3 times until the word "RF-G"
appear on the display. Use "up" and "down" button to increase and decrease the
receiver sensitivity.
Activating the "RF-G" feature helps to attenuate very strong signals that are produced from
another radio that is in very close proximity to the unit. Turning this feature to maximum
position creates full receiver sensitivity.
RPT: Repeater access tone on and off control
Many USA repeaters require an 156.7 Hz CTCSS tone to access.
•
To activate the 156.7 Hz CTCSS tone press "FUNC" and then "SQ, MICG, RFG/RPT
".
RPT will appear on the LCD display indicating that the tone burst now automatically be
transmitted whenever the PTT is pressed. To deactivate, repeat the same procedure. This
function activated when the unit is in mode 1 (ham band) operation only.
