Adjusting the Transmit Power Press HI/LO/SCRAMBLER to adjust the transmit power. If the transmit power on the currently tuned channel is set to Hi (25W), pressing HI/LO/SCRAMBLER changes it to Lo (1W), and LO appears on the display. If the transmit power on the currently tuned channel is set to Lo, pressing HI/LO/SCRAMBLER changes it to Hi, and HI appears. Important: The radio automatically sets itself to low transmit power if you tune to Channels 13, 67, 75, 76, 77 based on FCC rules. You cannot change the transmit power to high on Channel 75 or Channel 76. You can, in an emergency, overide the default setting on Channel 13 or Channel 67. Press Hi/LO/SCRAMBLER while holding in the PTT switch to switch to high. Notes: • You cannot change the transmit power while the radio is set to Scan mode. • The radio automatically sets itself to high transmit power if you use PUSH/SELECT to tune to Channel 16, press 16/9 TRI, or it receives a distress call. The radio sets itself back to low power if you use PUSH/SELECT to select another channel. Using Scan Note: If you hold down STEP/SCAN while the radio is set to WX mode or Coast Guard/ Distress/Hailing mode, it cancels that mode and starts memory channel scanning. Using Triple Watch Scan Triple Watch lets you easily scan emergency channels along with a channel you select. To use Triple Watch scan, hold down STEP/SCAN for about 2 seconds. The radio scans Channel 16, Channel 9, and the current memory channel. TRI appears on the display. Using Normal Scan Normal scan lets you quickly scan and tune only selected channels. To use normal scan, set the radio to Triple Watch scan then hold down 16/9 TRI for about 2 seconds. The radio scans any channels you saved in memory and SCANNING appears. Notes: • If you use normal scan, the radio scans all channels except emergency channels. Use Triple Watch scan (see "Using Triple Watch Scan") to scan emergency channels. • You must save at least two or more channels in the radio's memory to use memory scan. See "Saving Channels in Memory" on Page 22 for more information. Using All Channel Scan In RADIO SETUP, set CHANNEL SCAN to ALL CH. Then, press and hold 16/9/TR for 2 seconds during a Triple Watch scan setting. All channels are scanned except Emergency 16 and Emergency 9. Basic Operation 19
