10 SUB-RECEIVER • Holding down the key changes the bands continuously. • If "MHz" is visible on the display, first press [1MHz/ SEL] to exit from the 1 MHz Step Up/ Down mode. ADJUSTING THE AUDIO FREQUENCY (AF) GAIN Turn the SUB AF control clockwise to increase the audio level and counterclockwise to decrease the level.

The audio level for Packet operation is also independent of the SUB AF control setting. ADJUSTING THE SQUELCH Turn the SUB SQL control clockwise when no signals are present, to select the squelch level at which background noise is just eliminated. The SUB band LED turns off when the squelch is ON. SELECTING A FREQUENCY When you operate both the main transceiver and the sub-receiver at the same time, you will be in one of the following conditions. First, check where the " " and " " icons are on the display, then follow the instructions below. The " " and " " icons are both on the MAIN band display: • Turn the RIT/ SUB control to adjust the sub- receiver frequency. " " is on the SUB band display and " " is on the MAIN band display: • Turn the RIT/ SUB control to adjust the sub- receiver frequency. " " is on the MAIN band display and " " is on the SUB band display: • Turn the RIT/ SUB control, the MULTI/ CH control, or the Tuning control to adjust the frequency. Or, directly enter the frequency using the numeric keypad {page 37}. However, the input frequency must be within the sub-receiver frequency range. The frequency you selected may round up to the nearest workable frequency step size {page 37}. You cannot transmit on the sub-band frequency. 46 The " " and " " icons are both on the subreceiver display: • You can do all the above, plus transmit on the SUB band frequency. This transceiver provides many other methods for selecting a frequency quickly. For further details, refer to "SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY" {page 37}. SUB-RECEIVER PANEL METER The multifunction meter measures the parameters described in the table below. The S-meter appears when in receive mode and the PWR meter appears when in transmit mode. Peak readings for the S- meter and PWR functions are held momentarily. Scale Display S Received signal strength PWR Transmit output power Function State Receive Transmit Note: Peak Hold readings cannot be deactivated. SELECTING A MODE FOR THE SUB-RECEIVER First, confirm that the " " icon is on the SUB band display. If it is not, press [SUB] or [CTRL] to assign the function controls to the SUB band. The SUB band can only be used to transmit in FM mode and receive in FM or AM mode. Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to toggle the operating mode for the sub- receiver. The narrow bandwidth operation for AM is not available for the SUB band frequency. Refer to "NARROW BANDWIDTH FOR FM" {page 29} for FM operation. FM CTCSS OPERATION You can assign an independent CTCSS tone to the sub-receiver. Refer to "FM CTCSS OPERATION" {page 35} for function and control details. FM DCS OPERATION You can assign an independent DCS code to the subreceiver. Refer to "FM DCS OPERATION" {page 36} for function and control details. TONE FREQ. ID SCAN This function scans through all the tone frequencies in order to identify the incoming tone frequency on the receiving signal of the sub-receiver. Refer to "TONE FREQ. ID SCAN" {page 34} for function and control details. DCS CODE ID SCAN This function scans through all the DCS codes in order to identify the incoming DCS code on the receiving signal of sub-receiver. Refer to "DCS CODE ID SCAN" {page 36} for function and control details.
