Operation: Selecting the Operating Band [13]
If you see a number in the upper left hand corner,
you are in Memory Mode so must change to
Variable Frequency Oscillator mode.
Press the V/M key (Variable frequency
oscillator mode/Memory mode) briefly and
the number should go away. If V/M is held
down too long, the radio will start scanning.
No harm done, just let go of the V/M key
and press it again briefly. You may need to
press it briefly a second time.
With no number displayed in the upper left
corner, you are in VFO (Variable
Frequency Oscillator) Mode. The radio can
monitor any frequency from 108.000 MHz
to 520.000 MHz and from 700.000 MHz to
999.9875 MHz. These two ranges are
broken up into 5 bands. Note that the table
shown here is slightly different from the
book. All numbers are in MHz.
Knowing the correct top and bottom of
each band is necessary if you plan to set up
to scan an entire band [14]. For example,
if you start your scan at 200.000 MHz, you
will be scanning the 144 MHz band. But if
you start at 200.050 MHz, you will be
scanning the 250 MHz band. An alternate
way to scan an entire band is presented on
page 41.
