Menu Definitions
    


   
1    RXCODE Receive Code
RX Tone or Digital Coded Squelch - CTCSS / DCS
-  Prevents interference from signals on the same frequency.
-  The squelch will open only if the incoming signal is coded with the same tone/code required by your receiver.
-  Note: Not all repeaters requiring a tone/code for access transmit a tone back to you. Leave this function turned OFF unless you are absolutely sure it is needed.
 
 
OFF / CTCSS / DCS
2    TXCODE Transmit Code
-  Required by some networks to limit access and interference.
 
 
OFF / CTCSS / DCS
3    SQL Squelch Level
-  Squelch silences the receiver when there is no signal.
 
 
0, 1 > 9
4    LIGHT LCD Illumination
  
 
OFF / ON / KEY
5    BEEP /
      K TONE
Keypad Beep / Tone
-  Allows audible confirmation of a key press.
 
 
 
OFF / ON
6    VOX Voice Operated TX
-  Allows transmitter activation by talking only.
-  Adjust VOX gain to allow smooth operation.
-  Level  9  requires the strongest voice.

 
 
0, 1 > 9
7    POWER RF Power Level  
 
 
HIGH / LOW
8    DW Dual Watch / Dual Reception
-  Allows monitoring of 2 channels in VFO mode.
-  If a signal is received, the RX remains on that channel until the signal is gone.
 
 
OFF / ON
9    STEP Frequency Step
-  Amount of frequency change when using Up/Down arrows or when scanning in VFO Mode.  

 
 
5  6.25  10  12.5  20  25 kHz
10    OFFSET Frequency shift amount
-  Specifies frequency difference between TX and RX.

 
 
00.000 > 37.995 MHz
00.000 > 69.995 MHz
    in 5 kHz steps
11    SHIFT Frequency shift direction
-  Enables access of repeaters in VFO/FREQ mode.

   OFF           TX = RX (simplex)
   +  (plus)     TX shifted Higher in freq than RX
   -  (minus)   TX shifted Lower in freq than RX
 
 
0, +, -
12    STE Squelch Tail  Elimination
-  Requires two radios with STE set to ON
-  Not for repeater use
   * For Ham use, set to OFF.
 
 
OFF / ON
13    W / N Wideband / Narrowband
-  Wide = 5 KHz    Narrow = 2.5 KHz
 
 
WIDE / NARROW
14    SAVE Battery Save
-  TX drops to Low Power when receiving a strong signal.
 
 
OFF / ON
15    TOT Transmission  Time Out Timer
-  Transmit Times Out after pre-selected time.
-  Radio will alert you when the time is up.

 
 
OFF, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 Seconds
16    SCANM Scan Resume Method
   TO (Time Operation) Scan stops when signal detected.
     Scan resumes after after predetermined time.
   CO (Carrier Operation) Scan stops when signal detected.
     Scan resumes when signal disappears.
 
 
OFF / CTCSS / DCS
17    RELAYM Receiver Delay
-  When ON, receiver is delayed approx 1/2 second to mask a repeater's Roger tone when releasing the PTT.

 
 
OFF / ON
18    BCLO Busy Channel Lockout
-  Prevents transmitting on a busy frequency.
-  If another repeater or signal is present using a different CTCSS or DCS code, your transmitter will be 'locked out' to prevent interference. 

 
 
OFF / ON
19    PRI Priority Channel Scanning
-  Sets priority Channel Scanning Mode.  
 
 
OFF / ON
