Pressing [ENTER] before entering all of the digits will set the remaining digits to 0. Pressing [VFO] before entering all of the digits will leave the remaining digits at their previous values. Entering all digits for a frequency will automatically set the frequency without pressing [ENTER] or [VFO]. If you need to only change the MHz digit, press the Tuning control, then enter the new value. AUTOMATIC POWER OFF (APO) Automatic Power Off is a background function that monitors whether or not any operations have been performed (keys pressed, Tuning control turned, etc.), and turns the transceiver power OFF if it has not been in use. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 516 (APO) {page 20}. 2 Set the APO time limit to 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes, or OFF. After the time limit passes with no operations (default is 180 minutes), APO turns the transceiver power OFF. However, 1 minute before the power turns OFF, APO appears on the display and blinks, and a warning tone sounds. Note: If any settings are changed during while APO is ON, the timer resets. When you stop changing the settings, the timer begins counting again from 0. 67 S-METER SqUELCh S-meter Squelch causes the squelch to open only when a signal with the same or greater strength than the S-meter setting is received. This function relieves you from constantly resetting the squelch when receiving weak stations that you have no interest in. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 105 (S.SQL) {page 20}. 2 Set the S-Meter squelch to ON or OFF. 3 To select the desired S-meter setting, rotate the left (band A) or right (band B) SQL control depending on which band you have selected. The squelch will open only at the level you have selected (for example, level 9). n Squelch hang Time When using S-meter Squelch, you may want to adjust the time interval between when the received signals drop and when the squelch closes. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 106 (S.SQ.HNG) {page 20}. 2 Set the hang time to 125 or 500 ms, or OFF. ADVANCED INTERCEPT POINT (AIP) The VHF/UHF band is often crowded in urban areas. AIP helps eliminate interference and reduce audio distortion caused by intermodulation. You can use this function only while operating on the VHF/UHF band. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 103 (VHF.AIP) and/or Menu 104
(UHF.AIP) {page 20}. 2 Set the AIP to ON or OFF. 68 SWITChING FM/AM MODE This transceiver is also capable of receiving (not transmitting) in AM on band A. The default mode on the 118 MHz band is AM while the default on the 144, 220, 300, or 430/440 MHz band is FM. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 102 (MODLAT) {page 20}. 2 Set the mode to AM, FM, or NFM. Note: You cannot switch between FM and AM to receive on band B. BEAT ShIFT Since the transceiver uses a microprocessor to control various transceiver functions, the CPU clock oscillators harmonics or image may appear on some spots of the reception frequencies. In this case, we recommend you turn the Beat Shift function ON. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 108 (B.SHIFT) {page 20}. 2 Set the Beat Shift to ON or OFF. SPEAKER MUTE While receiving or transmitting on the TX band, you may not want to hear audio received on the other band. Use this function to mute the speaker allocated to that band (not the TX band). While receiving, press [LOW] to switch the mute function ON or OFF. The icon appears on the display when the function is ON. 69 n Mute Hang Time When using Speaker Mute, you may want to adjust the time interval between when you receive a signal and when the speaker is muted. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 107 (MUT.HNG) {page 20}. 2 Set the hang time to 125, 250, 500, 750, or 1000 ms. SelecTing an OuTpuT pOwer It is a good idea to select lower transmit power if communications is still reliable. This lowers the risk of interfering with others on the band. When operating from battery power, you will enjoy more operating time before a recharge is necessary. Press [LOW] to select high (H) (K, E types only), medium (M), or low (L) power. The default is high. You can program different power settings for bands A and B. Note: When the transceiver overheats because of ambient high temperature or continuous transmission, the protective circuit may function to lower transmit output power. TiMe-OuT TiMer (TOT) It is sometimes necessary or desirable to restrict a single transmission to a specific maximum time. You may use this function to prevent repeater time-outs when accessing repeaters, or to conserve battery power. When TOT times out (default is 10 minutes), the transceiver generates beeps and automatically returns to receive mode. To resume transmitting, release and then press the microphone [PTT] again. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 109 (TOT) {page 20}. 2 Set the timer to 3, 5, or 10 minutes. 70 EXTERNAL SPEAKER CONFIGURATION This transceiver has two speaker jacks for external speakers, as well as an internal speaker. You can enjoy a variety of speaker configurations by using one or two external speakers.

Consider installing the transceiver under the dash in front of the passenger seat so that knees or legs will not strike the radio during sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to a pick well-ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight. Note: You may experience interference on your GPS receiver when using in or around 438.8 MHz (A band) and/or 443.8 MHz (B band). To eliminate the interference, ensure that the transceiver is installed at a location separate from your GPS receiver. 1 Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws and at washers (4 of each are supplied). The bracket can be mounted with the bracket opening facing down, for under dash mounting, or facing up. The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw slots on the edge of each bracket side are facing the back. Self-tapping screw
(5 x 16 mm) Flat washer 2 Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied hexagon SEMS screws and at washers (4 of each are supplied, 2 for each side of the bracket). Ensure that all hardware is tightened, to prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or TX/ RX unit. Set an appropriate angle for the TX/ RX unit, using the 3 screw slots on the rear edge of each bracket side. SEMS screw (M4 x 10 mm) 2 Operation Panel Installation 1 Clean and dry the installation location. Tapping screw
(4 mm x 12 mm) Flat washer Panel bracket Adhesive tape Do not install the bracket close to an air bag. 2 Remove the release paper from the base of the panel bracket, then secure it in place using the 3 supplied self-tapping screws. Allow the panel to set for a while, to ensure it remains fast. Otherwise, vibrations may occur. After removing the release paper, it cannot be reused. 3 Attach the panel holder to the panel bracket using the 2 supplied SEMS screws. 4 Attach the operation panel to the panel holder so that it locks in place. Panel holder SEMS screw
(M4 x 10 mm) Power Cable Connection Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has suf cient current capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insuf cient, the display may darken during transmission or the transmit output power may drop excessively. Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery. Engine compartment Passenger compartment Black () cable Fuse holder Red (+) cable Rubber grommet Fuse holder 12 V vehicle battery DC power cable 3 Note: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged and will not have suf cient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions. 1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the vehicles battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver. When using a noise lter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle. We do not recommend using a cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop. If the power cable must be routed through a hole in the vehicle chassis or body, for example in the rewall at the front of the passenger compartment, use a rubber grommet to protect the cable from abrasion. Dismantle the fuse holder to pass the cable through the rewall. The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition system/ cables. 2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tape around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture. Tie down the full run of cable. 3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the negative () battery terminal before connecting the transceiver. FIXED STATION Operation Panel Installation 1 Attach the panel holder to the base stand using the 2 supplied SEMS screws. 2 Attach the operation panel to the panel holder so that it locks in place. Operation panel SEMS screw (M4 x 10 mm) Panel holder Base stand 4 Power Cable Connection In order to use this transceiver for xed station operation, you will need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately. The recommended current capacity of the power supply is 13 A. Note: Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections. Black () cable Fuse holder Red (+) cable Fuse holder Regulated DC power supply DC power cable 1 Ensure that the transceiver and DC power supply are both OFF. 2 Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and ensure that the polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black: negative). Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. Do not substitute the cable with smaller gauge wires. 3 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver. Press the connectors rmly together until the locking tab clicks. Note: For your transceiver to fully exhibit its performance capabilities, we recommend using an optional PS-60 (20.5 A, 25% duty cycle) power supply. 5 REPLACING FUSES If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse. If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect the power cable and contact your authorized KENWOOD dealer or an authorized KENWOOD service center for assistance.

Approx. 3 cm MIC jack Line lter Panel jack Modular plug cable Line lter 6 Operation panel ANTENNA CONNECTION Before operating, you must rst install an ef cient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention. Use a low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of 50 , to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 reduces the ef ciency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment. Transmitting without rst connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting. All xed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and/or transceiver damage. Antenna terminal Feed line connector To antenna ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS External Speakers If you plan to use external speakers, choose speakers with an impedance of 8 . The external speaker jacks accept a 3.5 mm (1/8") mono (2-conductor) plug. We recommend using SP-50B speakers. There are 2 speaker jacks on the rear of the transceiver: SP 1 and SP 2.

MOBIlE INSTAllATION Select a safe, convenient location inside your vehicle that will minimize danger to your passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion. Consider installing the transceiver under the dash in front of the passenger seat so that knees or legs will not strike the radio during sudden braking of your vehicle. Try to a pick well-ventilated location that is shielded from direct sunlight. Note: You may experience interference on your GPS receiver when using in or around 438.8 MHz
(A band) and/or 443.8 MHz (B band). To eliminate the interference, ensure that the transceiver is installed at a location separate from your GPS receiver. 1 Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the supplied self-tapping screws and flat washers (4 of each are supplied). The bracket can be mounted with the bracket opening facing down, for underdash The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw slots on the edge of each bracket mounting, or facing up. side are facing the back. Self-tapping screw
(5 x 6 mm) Flat washer
2 Position the transceiver, then insert and tighten the supplied hexagon SEMS screws and flat washers (4 of each are supplied, 2 for each side of the bracket). Ensure that all hardware is tightened, to prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the bracket or transceiver. Set an appropriate angle for the main unit, using the 3 screw slots on the rear edge of each bracket side. SEMS screw POwER cABlE cONNEcTION n Mobile Operation Be sure to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient, the display may darken during transmission or the transmit output power may drop excessively. Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery Note: If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle battery is not fully charged or when the engine is OFF, the battery may become discharged and will not have sufficient reserves to start the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions. 1 Route the DC power cable supplied with the transceiver directly to the vehicles battery terminals using the shortest path from the transceiver. When using a noise filter, it should be installed with an insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle. We do not recommend using a cigarette lighter socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an unacceptable voltage drop. If the power cable must be routed through a hole in the vehicle chassis or body, for example in the firewall at the front of the passenger compartment, use a rubber grommet to protect the cable from abrasion. Dismantle the fuse holder to pass the cable through the firewall. The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary (high voltage) ignition system/ cables. 2 2 After the cable is in place, wind heat-resistant tape around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture. Tie down the full run of cable. 3 To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other wiring from the negative () battery terminal before connecting the transceiver. 4 Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then attach the power cable to the battery terminals; red connects to the positive (+) terminal and black connects to the negative () terminal. Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess, even if the cable is longer than required. In particular, never remove the fuse holders from the cable. 5 Reconnect any wiring removed from the negative terminal. 6 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver. Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks. Engine compartment Fuse holder (E type) Black () cable Passenger compartment Fuse holder

(E type) n Fixed Station Operation In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation, you will need a separate 1.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately. The recommended current capacity of the power supply is 12 A. Note: Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections. 1 Ensure that the transceiver and DC power supply are both OFF. 2 Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply and ensure that the polarities are correct (Red: positive, Black: negative). Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. Do not substitute the cable with smaller gauge wires.
3 Connect the DC power cable to the transceiver. Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks. Note: For your transceiver to fully exhibit its performance capabilities, we recommend using an optional PS- (20.5 A, 25% duty cycle) power supply. Fuse holder (E type) Black () cable Fuse holder

The success of your installation will depend largely on the type of antenna and its correct installation. The transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention. Use a low-loss coaxial feed line that also has a characteristic impedance of 50 , to match the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed lines having an impedance other than 50 reduces the efficiency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic equipment. u Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting. u All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or transceiver damage. Antenna terminal Feed line connector To antenna 5 FRONT PANEl ORIENTATION This transceiver allows you to change the orientation of the front panel. Depending on where/how you installed the transceiver you may wish to flip the front panel upside-down for easier operation. 1 On the right side of the front panel, pull the panel release latch forward. 2 Slide the front panel to the left, then pull it away from the main body of the transceiver. 3 Flip the front panel upside-down, then reattach it to the main body of the transceiver. 6 AccESSORy cONNEcTIONS n External Speakers If you plan to use external speakers, choose speakers with an impedance of 8 . The external speaker jacks accept a 3.5 mm (1/8) mono (2-conductor) plug. We recommend using SP-50B speakers. There are 2 speaker jacks on the rear of the transceiver: SP 1 and SP 2. Refer to page 7 to determine how the speakers will be used.

Compared to simplex communication, you can usually transmit over much greater distances by using a repeater. Repeaters are typically located on mountain tops or other elevated locations. They generally operate at higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical station. This combination of elevation and high ERP allows communications over considerable distances. TX: 144.725 MHz TX tone: 88.5 Hz RX: 145.325 MHz TX: 144.725 MHz TX tone: 88.5 Hz RX: 145.325 MHz REPEATER AccESS Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair with a standard or non-standard offset (odd-split). In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from the transceiver in order to gain access to the repeater. For details, consult your local repeater reference. n Selecting an Offset Direction The offset direction allows your transmit frequency to be higher (+) or lower () than the receive frequency. 1 Select your desired band (A or B). 2 Press [F], [REV] (1s) to select an offset direction. Each time you press [F], [REV] (1s), the offset direction changes as follows:
Simplex operation >> + >> >> Simplex operation 26 If you are using an E-market transceiver, when operating on the 430 MHz band, the offset direction changes as follows:
Simplex operation >> + >> >> = (7.6 MHz) >> Simplex operation If the offset transmit frequency falls outside the allowable range, transmitting is inhibited. Use one of the following methods to bring the transmit frequency within the band limits:
Move the receive frequency further inside the band. Change the offset direction. Note: While using an odd-split memory channel or transmitting, you cannot change the offset direction. n Selecting an Offset Frequency The offset frequency is the value which the transmit frequency will be offset from the receive frequency. The default offset frequency on the 144 MHz band is 600 kHz for all market versions. The default on the 430/440 MHz band is 5 MHz. 1 Select your desired band (A or B). 2 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 400 (OFFSET) {page 20}. 3 Set the appropriate offset frequency value. The selectable range is from 00.00 MHz to 29.95 MHz, in steps of 50 kHz. Note: After changing the offset frequency, the new offset frequency will also be used by Automatic Repeater Offset {page 29}. n Activating the Tone Function To turn the Tone function on:
1 Select your desired band (A or B). 2 Press [TONE] to turn the Tone function ON. Each time you press [TONE], the selection changes as follows:

By turning the 1750 Hz tone menu item ON, the transceiver will automatically transmit the 1750 Hz tone for 2 seconds whenever you transmit. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 402 (1750HD) {page 20}. 2 Set the tone to ON or OFF. be transmitted. When set to ON, the 1750 Hz tone will transmit. When set to OFF, the tone will not REVERSE FUNcTION After setting a separate receive and transmit frequency, you can exchange these frequencies using the Reverse function. This allows you to manually check the strength of signals you receive directly from other stations, while using a repeater. If the stations signal is strong, move to a simplex frequency to continue the contact and free up the repeater. Press [REV] to turn the Reverse function ON or OFF. When the Reverse function is ON, the icon will appear on the display. Note:
u u If the transmit frequency is outside the allowable transmit frequency range when using Reverse, pressing [PTT] will cause an error tone to sound and transmission will be inhibited. If the receive frequency is outside the receive frequency range when using Reverse, an error tone will sound and Reverse will not operate. u The ARO (Automatic Repeater Offset) will not function when Reverse is ON. u You cannot switch Reverse ON or OFF while transmitting. AUTOmATIc SImPlEx cHEcKER (ASc) While using a repeater, ASC periodically monitors the strength of signals you receive directly from the other stations. If the stations signal is strong enough to allow direct contact without a repeater, the Press [REV] (1s) to turn the ASC ON. icon blinks. 30 When the ASC is ON, the icon will appear on the display.

This transceiver provides 5 PM channels to store 5 sets of transceiver configurations. Later, you can quickly recall any one of these channels, depending on the operations you have in mind or the operating environment. PROGRAMMABLE InfORMAtIOn The following programmable settings can be stored in each channel:
Memory name Memory channel lockout Channel Display mode Repeater mode Key lock Password protection Password Memory channel/Call channel/Program scan memory DTMF memory EchoLink memory Data communications speed 10 MHz mode Mic sensitivity SQC data output 38 APPLIcAtIOn ExAMPLEs The following are examples of how you might use Programmable Memory. These examples may not represent applications useful to you, but you will understand the flexibility of this function. Situation: You share your transceiver with other members in your family or club. However, each individual has personal preferences for how they like to set various functions. You have to keep changing many settings each time you use the transceiver. Solution: Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5 persons can separately program the transceiver and store their customized environment. Then each person can quickly change to his or her favorite settings, simply by recalling a PM channel. It is too much trouble to change back the settings after somebody else has reconfigured them. So this application may avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many useful features. Situation: While operating mobile on the way to work every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrup the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display is useless in the sunlight. At night when driving home, you realize the Beep function truly does serve a purpose and you acknowledge it is nice to see a bright display after dark. Solution: In 2 PM channels, store the same operating data such as frequency, offset, tone, etcl, and store different settings for the Display brightness and Beep functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for day or night operation. Situation: You cannot figure out how to exit the current transceiver mode. Solution: Simply recall PM channel 1, which contains an exact copy of the transceiver default environment. You will not lose the contents of any memory channels. 39 stORInG DAtA In PM chAnnELs 1 Confirm that the following conditions have been satisfied:
The transceiver is in receive mode. Scan is not being used. Microphone Control is OFF. 2 Configure the transceiver with your desired settings. For data that can be stored, refer to page 38. 3 Press [F], [PM]. PM channel numbers 1 to 5 appear and blink at the bottom of the display. 4 Enter a channel number ([1] to [5]) corresponding to your desired PM channel. The settings are stored in the PM channel. REcALLInG PM chAnnELs 1 Press [PM]. PM channel numbers 1 to 5 appear on the bottom of the display. 2 Enter a channel number ([1] to [5]) corresponding to your desired PM channel. The settings stored in the PM channel are recalled. The selected channel number appears on the display. 40 AutO PM chAnnEL stORE After you recall a PM channel, this function automatically overwrites the current PM channel with the present operating environment when:
You recall another PM channel. You press [PM]. You switch the transceiver power OFF. Follow the steps below to activate the Auto PM storage function. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 521 (AUTOPM) {page 20}. 2 Set AUTOPM to ON. PM chAnnEL REsEt To reset the PM channels to their default settings:

To exit without resetting the PM channels, press [F] (ESC). 41 SCAN Scan is a useful feature for hands-off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. Becoming comfortable with all types of Scan will increase your operating efficiency. This transceiver provides the following types of scans:
Scan Type Scan Range VFO Scan Memory Scan Group Scan Program Scan MHz Scan Call Scan Scans all frequencies on the current band. Scans all frequencies stored in the Memory channels. Scans the frequencies in the Memory channels which belong to the group you have specified. Scans all frequencies within the programmed range, on the current band. Scans all frequencies within a 1 MHz range from the originating frequency. Scans the Call channel as well as the currently selected VFO frequency or Memory channel. Note:
u Adjust the squelch level before using Scan. Selecting a squelch level too low could cause Scan to stop immediately. u While using CTCSS or DCS, Scan stops for any signal received; however, you will hear audio only when the signal contains the same CTCSS tone or DCS code that you selected. u When using S-meter Squelch, Scan stops when the received signal strength matches or exceeds the S-meter setting. Scan resumes 2 seconds after the signal level drops below the S-meter setting. u Pressing and holding [PTT] causes Scan to temporarily stop if it is functioning on a non TX band. u Starting Scan switches the Automatic Simplex Checker OFF. 42 SELECTING A SCAN RESUME METHOD The transceiver stops scanning at a frequency or Memory channel on which a signal is detected. It then continues scanning according to which resume mode you have selected. You can choose one of the following modes. The default is Time-operated mode. Time-Operated mode The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory channel for approximately 5 seconds, and then continues to scan even if the signal is still present. Carrier-Operated mode The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory channel until the signal drops out. There is a 2 second delay between signal drop-out and scan resumption. Seek mode The transceiver remains on a busy frequency or Memory channel even after the signal drops out and does not automatically resume scanning. Note: To temporarily stop scanning and monitor weak signals, press the microphone PF key assigned to the Monitor function {page 66}. Press the PF key again to resume scanning. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 514 (SC.RESM) {page 20}. 2 Set the Scan Resume mode to TO (Time-Operated), CO (Carrier-Operated) or SEEK. VFO SCAN VFO Scan monitors all frequencies tunable on the band, using the current frequency step size. 1 Select your desired band. 2 Press [VFO] (1s). Scan starts at the current frequency. The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress. To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward scan). You can also press microphone [UP]/ [DWN]. 3 To quit VFO Scan, press [VFO] again. 43 MEMORY SCAN Use Memory Scan to monitor all Memory channels programmed with frequency data. 1 Select your desired band. 2 Press [MR] (1s). Scan starts at the current frequency. The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress. To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward scan). You can also press microphone [UP]/ [DWN]. 3 To quit Memory Scan, press [MR] again. Note:
u At least 2 Memory channels must contain data and must not be locked out of scan. u The L0/U0 to L9/U9 Memory channels will not be scanned. u You can also start Memory Scan when in Channel Display mode. While Scan is paused on a channel, the channel number blinks. n Locking Out a Memory Channel You can select Memory channels that you prefer not to monitor while scanning. 1 Press [MR], then rotate the Tuning control to select your desired channel. 2 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 202 (L.OUT) {page 20}. 3 Set the lockout to ON to lock the channel out of the scanning sequence. To cancel lockout, set the lockout to OFF. The out. icon appears on the display for a channel that has been locked Note: The L0/U0 to L9/U9 Memory channels cannot be locked out. 44 GROUP SCAN For the purpose of Group Scan, the 1000 Memory channels are divided into 10 groups, with each group containing 100 channels. Group Scan monitors only the 100 channels which belong to the specific group you are scanning. The channels are grouped as follows:
Memory Group Channel Range Memory Group Channel Range 0 1 2 3 4 0 ~ 99 100 ~ 199 200 ~ 299 300 ~ 399 400 ~ 499 5 6 7 8 9 500 ~ 599 600 ~ 699 700 ~ 799 800 ~ 899 900 ~ 999 1 Press [MR], then rotate the Tuning control to select a channel in your desired group. 2 Press [MHz] (1s). Scan starts at the current channel. The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress. To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward scan). You can also press microphone [UP]/ [DWN]. 3 To quit Group Scan, press [MHz] again. Note:
u At least 2 Memory channels in the selected group must contain data and must not be locked out of scan. u You can also start Memory Scan when in Channel Display mode. While Scan is paused on a channel, the channel number blinks. n Memory Group Link Memory Group Link provides you with the ability to link 2 or more Memory channel groups together to act as a single group when scanning. You can link up to 6 separate groups together, or even add multiple instances of the same group to the group link, to ensure that one group is scanned more often than the other groups. 1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 203 (GR.LINK) {page 20}. 2 Press the Tuning control. The cursor will begin blinking. 45 3 Rotate the Tuning control to select a group to link. 4 Press the Tuning control to set the group and move the cursor to the right. Press [TONE] (<) to move the cursor back or [LOW] (>) to move the cursor to the right. 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to link additional groups together. 6 When you have entered your desired groups, press [LOW] (>) to move the cursor to the right, then press the Tuning control to complete the entry and exit Menu mode. If you have entered the maximum of 6 groups, simply press the Tuning control to complete the entry and exit Menu mode. PROGRAM SCAN Program Scan is identical to VFO Scan except that you select a frequency range for the scan. n Setting Scan Limits You can store up to 10 scan ranges in Memory channels L0/U0 to L9/U9. 1 Select your desired band. 2 Press [VFO]. 3 Rotate the Tuning control to select your desired frequency for the lower limit. 4 Press [F]. A memory channel number appears and blinks. 5 Rotate the Tuning control to select a channel from L0 to L9. 6 Press [MR] to set the channel number.

For example, if you selecte channel L3 in step 5, select channel U3 here. 10 Press [MR] to set the channel number. The upper limit is stored in the channel. To confirm the stored scan limits, press [MR], then select the L and U channels. Note:
u The lower limit must be lower in frequency than the upper limit. u The lower and upper frequency step sizes must be equal. u The lower and upper limits must be selected on the same band. n Using Program Scan 1 Select your desired band. 2 Press [VFO]. 3 Rotate the Tuning control to select a frequency within your desired scan range. 4 Press [VFO], (1s). Scan starts at the current frequency. The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress. To reverse the scan direction, turn the Tuning control clockwise (upward scan) or counterclockwise (downward scan). You can also press microphone [UP]/
[DWN]. 5 To quit Program Scan, press [VFO] again. Note:
u If the step size differs between the lower limit and upper limit, VFO scan will begin instead of Program Scan. If the current VFO frequency is within more than one Program Scan range, the range stored in the smallest channel number is used. u 47 MHz SCAN MHz Scan monitors a 1 MHz segment of the band, using the current frequency step size. The current 1 MHz digit determines the limits of the scan. For example, if the current frequency is 145.400 MHz, then the scan range would be from 145.000 MHz to 145.995 MHz (the exact upper limit depends on the current frequency step size). 1 Select your desired band. 2 Press [VFO]. 3 Rotate the Tuning control to select a frequency within your desired 1 MHz range. 4 Press and hold the Tuning control for 1 second to start scanning. Scan starts at the current frequency. The 1 MHz decimal blinks while scanning is in progress.
