Standby and Receive
Standby mode is the usual mode for the radio whenever it is
turned On.
From Standby Mode, You Can:
■
Change your radio’s settings using setup routines.
■
Receive messages on the current channel as well as DSC
messages.
■
Receive NOAA alerts if Weather Alert mode is turned On.
■
Switch to Transmit mode using the Talk button.
While the radio is in Standby mode, the Receive mode is
entered whenever a strong enough signal to break squelch
is sent to the radio. You will hear the message through
whichever speakers are connected to the radio.

1. Turn the Channel Select knob clockwise for higher VHF

for lower VHF channel.
2. Press Channel Up/Down buttons on microphone to go to
the next higher or lower VHF channel. For rapid advance,
press and hold the Channel Up/Down button.
3. Press the Channel 16/9 button. This will take you to
Channel 16 with one (1) press and to Channel 9 with a
second press. Additional presses will toggle between
Channels 16, 9 and original channel.

access to the weather channels. Turning the Channel
Select
knob or pressing the Channel button on the
