Transmitting

♦ Transmitting on an Amateur band

Before transmitting, monitor the operating frequency to make sure transmitting won't cause interference to other stations on the same frequency.

CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna may damage the transceiver.

You can transmit on only the 144 MHz and 430 MHz bands.

NOTE:

• If the MAIN band frequency is a multiple of the SUB band frequency, you might receive a very small signal on the SUB band when you transmit. This is not a defect, but can occur naturally with the interrelationship between the fundamental and multiple frequencies.

Example:

MAIN band frequency: 144.200 MHz SUB band frequency: Around 432.600 MHz

• The readability of your transmitted signal maybe reduced because audio from the SUB band may be picked up by your microphone when you transmit. If this occurs, reduce the AF volume level on the SUB band.

♦ Settings for the transmission

• ① Set the operating frequency. (p. 2-11)
• 2 Touch the Power icon.
• Opens the output power level setting window.
• ③ Touch the transmit output power level.

Select a level to suit your operating requirements. In the Dualwatch mode, "H" indicates high power, "M" indicates mid power and "L" indicates low power.

• ④ Hold down [PTT] to transmit, and speak at your normal voice level.
  • The transmit LED lights red while transmitting.
  • The S/RF meter displays the output power level.
• 5 Release [PTT] to receive.

DO NOT hold the microphone too close to your mouth or speak loudly. This may distort your speech.

About transmit power levels and RF meter

The transmit power level and the RF meter displays are shown below.

Attenuator function

The transceiver has an RF attenuator related to the squelch control setting. You can add up to approximate-

ly 20 dB of attenuation at its maximum setting.

You can set the Attenuator to [SQL] in the Menu screen.

1) Touch [MENU]

• Displays "ATT."

Displayed

Band Scope function

Use the Band Scope function to visually search a specified frequency range around the displayed frequency. You can use this function to search for a signal, and see the received signal strength level.

The Band Scope function has two sweep types. Single sweep and Continuous sweep:

• A Single sweep searches the specified frequency range only once
• A Continuous sweep repeatedly searches the specified frequency range.

The transceiver sweeps in the following ranges centered on the displayed frequency.

• The sweep steps may differ, depending on the tuning step. Single watch mode: ±38 × Tuning step

Dualwatch mode: ±18 × Tuning step (+38' and +18' are fixed )

For example in the Dualwatch mode, if the display freauencv is 146.010 MHz and its tuning step is 20 kHz, the sweep range is between 145.650 MHz (lower freguency) and 146.370 MHz (higher frequency), (146.010 MHz+0.36 MHz) See the calculation below.

+18 × 20 kHz = +360 kHz (0.36 MHz) -18 × 20 kHz = -360 kHz (-0.36 MHz) Upper frequency: 146 370 MHz (146.010 MHz + 0.36 MHz) Lower frequency: 145.650 MHz (146 010 MHz – 0 36 MHz)

Example: A strong signal is received on 146.030 MHz.

Band Scope display. The signal on 146 030 MHz

(Display frequency: 146.010 MHz, Tuning step: 20 kHz)

About the sweep steps:

• The specified tuning step is used during a sweep
• If the tuning step is set too wide, the signals in the

sweep range may not be displayed (they may be skipped), even if they are strong signals. Thus we recommend that you set the tuning step to 20 kHz or less to use the Band Scope function

20 kHz or less to use the Band Scope function.
