COMM Transceiver
Rotate the VOL knob clockwise
from the OFF position. Pull the VOL
knob out and adjust for desired
listening level. Push the VOL knob
back in to actuate the automatic
squelch.
The left portion of the digital
display readout is allocated for COMM
ACTIVE and COMM STANDBY
frequencies with a “T” between them
to indicate TRANSMIT and an “R” to
indicate RECEIVE modes of
operation.
Select the desired operating
frequency in the standby display by
rotating the Frequency Select Knobs
either clockwise or counterclockwise.
A clockwise rotation will increment the
previous frequency while a
counterclockwise rotation will
decrement the previous frequency.
The outer knob will change the
MHz portion of the standby display. At
one band-edge (118 or 136 MHz) the
following 1 MHz change will wrap
around to the other band-edge.
KX 155A and KX 165A 25 kHz
Versions
The inner knob will change the
kHz portion of the standby display. It
will change in increments of 50 kHz
when the knob is pushed in and 25
kHz when the knob is pulled out. The
frequency wrap around at the edge of
the band is also utilized when
incrementing or decrementing the kHz
portion of the standby display.
KX 165A 8.33 kHz Version
The inner knob will change the
kHz portion of the standby display. It
allows selection of 25 kHz frequencies
only when the knob is pushed in and
both 8.33 kHz and 25 kHz frequencies
when the knob is pulled out. The
frequency wrap around at the edge of
the band is also utilized when
incrementing or decrementing the kHz
portion of the standby display.
To tune the radio to the desired
operating frequency, the desired
frequency must be entered into the
standby display (Figure 2) and then
the transfer button must be pushed.
This will trade the contents of the
active and standby displays (Figure
3).
NOTE: An optional remote-mounted
transfer switch may also be installed
in a convenient location (such as the
control yoke) to perform the transfer
operation.
The operating frequency can also
be entered by accessing the ACTIVE
ENTRY (direct tune) mode which is
done by pushing and holding the
COMM TRANSFER button for 2 or
more seconds. In the direct tune
mode, only the active part of the
display is visible (Figure 4). The
desired frequency can be directly
entered into the display. Push the
COMM TRANSFER button again to
return to the active/standby display.
