• Do not remove the case or touch the interior components. Tampering can cause equipment
trouble.
• Do not use or keep the transceiver where it is exposed to direct sunlight, dusty places, or
near sources of heat.
• When transmitting for long periods of time at high power,
the transceiver might overheat. This product is NOT a
100% -duty transmitter.
• Turn the power off immediately if the transceiver emits
smoke or strange odors. Ensure the transceiver is safe,
then bring it to the nearest Alinco service center.
• An operator’s license is required for this device.
Notice to California resident users
The product that comes with this manual is free from dangerous material such as lead and
cadmium as per RoHS order of EU.
The transceiver has no protection against lightning.
The user is responsible for providing adequate protection if he/she uses the device at home
and installs the antenna outdoor. Be aware that any outdoor antenna creates a direct path for
lighting current (more than 10kA) to the transceiver. This path exists whether the device is
turned ON or OFF.
Any vehicle does not present a safe environment during lightning. This environment becomes
much more dangerous if an outdoor antenna is installed on the car. Move the antenna and its
cable into the car at the first sight of forthcoming thunderstorm and lightning.

Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna. The success of your installation will depend on the
type of antenna and its correct installation. Use a 50: impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed-line
that has a characteristic impedance of 50:, to match the transceiver input impedance.
Coupling the antenna to the transceiver via feed-lines having impedance other than 50 : reduces the
efficiency of the antenna system and can cause interference to nearby televisions, radio receivers and other
electronic equipment.
Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the

Turn the SQL knob clockwise until white-noise (the background
noise when a signal is not received) and [BUSY] icon on the

The SQL should be turned fully counterclockwise when receiving weak or unstable signals. The [BUSY] icon
appears on the display while the squelch is opened (unmuted).
When you set it to a higher level, weak signals would be interrupted while monitoring or would not be
monitored at all.
Generally, you should set the squelch to the lowest level where noise would be eliminated. Depending on the
monitored frequencies and the conditions of the circumstances around you, the squelch level may need to
be adjusted

Many repeaters require a CTCSS tone or a DCS encode setting as a “key” to access a repeater system, or a
receiver using CTCSS or DCS squelch, so called “selective-calling”. Sometimes, CTCSS or DCS decode
features are used on the output of a repeater so they can be used to open a squelch. In this mode,
regardless of the main squelch status, the audio can be heard ONLY when the matching tone/code signal is
received. The combination of CTCSS squelch and DCS function is not available; only one or the other may
be used for given frequency.

The CTCSS encoding and decoding frequencies maybe set differently. The encode setting
frequency automatically relates to the decode setting, but the decode setting does not affect
encoding. The standard sets of 39 different CTCSS tones are available as shown on the chart
below. DCS encode/decode cannot be separated and selectable from 105 codes as shown
