For a list of the standard pair frequencies, refer to the table "Reverse List" in the Appendix. If the frequency that you have chosen does not have an offset frequency, the display will indicate ERROR and NO REVERSE.

Channel Step Selection

You can set frequency step, 5 kHz - 100 kHz or Auto in Chain search frequency. The default receive mode should be the proper mode setting in almost all cases. You may wish to set some VHF channels for NFM mode, depending on any adjacent channel interference problems. WFM is typically only used for broadcast frequencies, such as TV audio or FM radio.

See STEPS in "Menu Description" for details.

2.In Chain Search mode, when the setting for the VFO is frequency, rotate the VFO to move up to step up through frequencies sequentially or to down to step down through frequencies. To change the step, you will need to go into the Chain Search menu and adjust the step for the desired memory location.

Remember! When you set Additional Features through the menu screen, you can also use or instead of rotating the VFO.
