1Select your desired band and frequency/channel.

2Press and hold the microphone [PTT] switch and speak into the microphone to transmit.

•The TX-RX LED lights red for the selected transmit band and the RF power meter appears on the display. The RF power meter shows the relative transmission output power you selected.

•“H”, “L”, or “EL” appear on the display, depending on the output power you have selected.

•Speak into the microphone in your normal voice, while keeping the microphone approximately 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth. Speaking too close to the microphone or too loudly may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility of your signal at the receiving station.

•Your station’s transmit signal can be received when the receive frequency is 3 times the transmit frequency.

Example: Transmit frequency is 146.000 MHz and receive frequency is 438.000 MHz.

3When you finish speaking, release the [PTT] switch.

Note: When the transceiver overheats because of ambient high temperature or continuous transmission, the protective circuit may function to lower the transmit output power.
