Programming Tips

•Do not program a weather frequency into one of the channels, since weather channels transmit continuously. Use the Weather Search feature to select the weather information band.

•Group similar services into a bank. For example, program police frequencies in channels 1 through 10 and fire/emergency into channels 51 through 60, and so on.

•Put the frequency that you listen to the most or the most important frequency into a Priority channel.

•To quickly program a series of channels, start with the lowest number channel.

For example, when you are programming five new frequencies into channels 4 through 8, start with channel 4. After you finish programming a channel, rotate the VFO up or press ▲ to go to the next higher channel.

•Write down your programmed channels and frequencies and put them in a convenient place in case of accidental reprogramming.

•Frequencies are rounded off according to the step of each channel.

•When you are overwriting a tagged channel with a new frequency, the previous alpha tag will be deleted. You must re-enter the alpha tag.

•When programming frequencies, a 2 second delay is set automatically but can be changed in the menu mode.
