4.When you have made your selection of the CTCSS tone mode, press the key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

5.Press the key, then press the key. This provides a “Short-cut” to Set Mode Item 99: TONE FREQUENCY.

6.Rotate the DIAL knob until the display indicates the fre- quency of the CTCSS tone that you need to send on your

7.When you have made your selection, press the key briefly to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. This is different from the usual method of restoring normal operation, and it applies only to the configuration of the CTCSS/DCS fre- quencies.
