YOUR FIRST QSO (VHF/ UHF band)

If your primary operating band is VHF (144 MHz) or UHF (430/ 440 MHz), the TS-2000(X) can also serve you as a powerful All-mode VHF/ UHF transceiver. The instructions below are intended only for a quick guide to get you up on the air on the VHF/ UHF band. If you encounter problems or there is something you don’t understand, read the detailed explanations given later in this manual.
