From the main screen, where you pick a channel or type in a frequency, these buttons are important:

  • *(SCAN) - Toggles "Reverse Mode" and displays
  • #(key-symbol) - Toggles transmit power between High and Low (Hold for lock!)

Note about saving channels

  1. Pick your memory Channel first! (range is 000-127)
  2. You MUST program from Frequency mode! (not channel mode)
  3. You MUST Program from A Side! (Top Display)
  4. Disable TDR/Dual Watch while programming! (Menu 7)
  5. Consider deleteing the channel memory before changing anything: (Menu 28)
