6 CALL CHANNEL OPERATION

■Programming a call channel

Operating frequency, duplex information, subaudible tone in- formation (tone encoder or tone squelch ON/OFF and its fre- quency) can be programmed into the call channel.

qSet the desired frequency in VFO mode.

➥Push [V/MHz•SCAN] to select VFO mode.

➥Set the frequency using [DIAL].

➥Set other data as desired.

wPush [S.MW•MW] momentarily.

eRotate [DIAL] to select the desired call channel.

• “!” indicator and “C1” or “C2” blink.

MR/CALL

MW

[Y]/[Z]

zSet the desired frequency in VFO mode.

➥Push [VFO/LOCK] to select VFO mode.

➥Set the frequency.

➥Set other data as desired.

x Push [FUNC], then [CLR A(MW)] momentarily. c Select the call channel via [Y] or [Z].

v Push [FUNC] then [CLR A(MW)] for 1 sec. to program.

• 3 beeps sound and the unit returns to VFO mode automatically.

rPush [S.MW•MW] for 1 sec. to program.

• 3 beeps sound and the unit returns to VFO mode automatically.

[EXAMPLE]: Programming 145.120 MHz into the call channel 2 via the microphone.
