PREPARATION

MOBILE INSTALLATION

To install the transceiver, select a safe, convenient
location inside your vehicle that minimizes danger to your
passengers and yourself while the vehicle is in motion.
Consider installing the unit at an appropriate position so
that knees or legs will not strike it during sudden braking
of your vehicle. Try to pick a well ventilated location that
is shielded from direct sunlight.

Install the mounting bracket in the vehicle using the

1

supplied self-tapping screws (4), flat washers (4), and
spring washers (4).

• The bracket must be installed so that the 3 screw hole

positions on the side of the mounting bracket are towards
the rear of the bracket.

DC POWER CABLE CONNECTION

Locate the power input connector as close to the transceiver as
possible.

MOBILE OPERATION

The vehicle battery must have a nominal rating of 12 V.
Never connect the transceiver to a 24 V battery. Be sure
to use a 12 V vehicle battery that has sufficient current
capacity. If the current to the transceiver is insufficient,
the display may darken during transmission, or transmit
output power may drop excessively.

Route the DC power cable supplied with the

1

transceiver directly to the vehicle’s battery terminals
using the shortest path from the transceiver.

• If using a noise filter, it should be installed with an
insulator to prevent it from touching metal on the vehicle.

• We recommend you do not use the cigarette lighter
socket as some cigarette lighter sockets introduce an
unacceptable voltage drop.

• The entire length of the cable must be dressed so it is
isolated from heat, moisture, and the engine secondary
(high voltage) ignition system/ cables.

After the cable is in place, wrap heat-resistant tape

2

around the fuse holder to protect it from moisture and
tie down the full run of cable.

To prevent the risk of short circuits, disconnect other

3

wiring from the negative (–) battery terminal before
connecting the transceiver.

Confirm the correct polarity of the connections, then

4

attach the power cable to the battery terminals;
red connects to the positive (+) terminal and black
connects to the negative (–) terminal.

• Use the full length of the cable without cutting off excess
even if the cable is longer than required. In particular,
never remove the fuse holders from the cable.

FIXED STATION OPERATION

In order to use this transceiver for fixed station operation,
you will need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply (not
included). The recommended current capacity of your
power supply is 14 A or more.

Connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC

1

power supply and ensure that the polarities are correct
(Red: positive, Black: negative).

• Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet.

• Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the
transceiver to a regulated power supply.

• Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.

Connect the transceiver’s DC power connector to the

2

connector on the DC power cable.

• Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab

Note:

◆

For your transceiver to fully exhibit its performance capabilities,

we recommend using the optional PS-60 (22.5 A, 25% duty
cycle) power supply.

◆

Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be

sure to switch the transceiver and the DC power supply OFF.

◆

Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you

make all connections.

If the fuse blows, determine the cause, then correct the
problem. After the problem is resolved, replace the fuse.
If newly installed fuses continue to blow, disconnect

assistance.

Only use fuses of the specified type and rating; otherwise the
transceiver could be damaged.

If you use the transceiver for a long period when the vehicle

Note:

battery is not fully charged, or when the engine is OFF, the battery
may become discharged, and will not have sufficient reserves to start
the vehicle. Avoid using the transceiver under these conditions.

Before operating, install an efficient, well-tuned antenna.
The success of your installation will depend largely on
the type of antenna and its correct installation. The
transceiver can give excellent results if the antenna
system and its installation are given careful attention.

Use a 50 Ω impedance antenna and low-loss coaxial feed
line that has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, to match
the transceiver input impedance. Coupling the antenna
to the transceiver via feed lines having an impedance
other than 50 Ω reduces the efficiency of the antenna
system and can cause interference to nearby broadcast
television receivers, radio receivers, and other electronic
equipment.

E market models use an N-type antenna connector while

Note:

other models use an M-type (SO-239) connector.

◆

Transmitting without first connecting an antenna or other

matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the
antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.

◆

All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to

reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage.

WHAT IS A MENU?

Many functions on this transceiver are selected or
configured via a software-controlled Menu rather than
through the physical controls of the transceiver. Once
you become familiar with the Menu system, you will
appreciate its versatility. You can customize the various
timings, settings, and programming functions on this
transceiver to meet your needs without using many
controls and switches.

OPERATING THROUGH REPEATERS

Repeaters, which are often installed and maintained
by radio clubs, are usually located on mountain tops
or other elevated locations. They generally operate at
higher ERP (Effective Radiated Power) than a typical
station. This combination of elevation and high ERP
allows communications over much greater distances than
communicating without using repeaters.

Most repeaters use a receive and transmit frequency pair
with a standard or non-standard offset (odd-split).
In addition, some repeaters must receive a tone from
the transceiver to be accessed. For details, consult your
local repeater reference.

SIMPLEX & REPEATER OR ODD-SPLIT MEMORY
CHANNEL?

You can use each Memory Channel as a simplex &
repeater channel or an odd-split channel. Store only
1 frequency to use as a simplex & repeater channel or
2 separate frequencies to use as an odd-split channel.
Select either application for each channel depending on
the operations you have in mind.

Simplex & repeater channels allow:

• Simplex frequency operation

• Repeater operation with a standard offset (if an offset
direction is stored)

Odd-split channels allow:

• Repeater operation with a non-standard offset

Not only can you store data in Memory Channels, but you can

Note:

also overwrite existing data with new data.

PurposeSca Type

Scan is a useful function for hands-off monitoring of your
favorite frequencies. By becoming comfortable with all
types of scan, you will increase your operating efficiency.

This transceiver provides the following types of scans.

Note:

◆

When the CTCSS or DCS function is activated, the transceiver

stops at a busy frequency and decodes the CTCSS tone or DCS
code. If the tone or code matches, the transceiver unmutes.
Otherwise, it resumes scanning.

PROGRAM SCAN

When you are operating the transceiver in VFO Mode,
3 types of scanning are available: Band Scan, Program
Scan, and MHz Scan.

BAND SCAN

The transceiver scans the entire band of the frequency you
selected. For example, if you are operating and receiving
at 144.525 MHz, it scans all the frequencies available for
the VHF band. (Refer to receiver VFO frequency range
in the specifications {page 72}.) When the current VFO
receive frequency is outside the Program Scan frequency
range {below}, the transceiver scans the entire frequency
range available for the current VFO.

You may sometimes want to hear calls from only specific
persons or groups. In this case, use Selective Call. This
transceiver is equipped with CTCSS (Continuous Tone
Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital Coded Squelch).
These Selective Calls allow you to ignore (not hear)
unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same
frequency. The transceiver unmutes only when it receives a
signal having the same CTCSS tone or DCS code.

SELECTIVE CALL

CTCSS and DCS do not cause your conversation to be

Note:

private or scrambled. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted
conversations.

CTCSS

A CTCSS tone is a sub-audible tone and is selectable
from among the 42 tone frequencies listed in the table
on page 47. The list includes 37 EIA standard tones and
5 non-standard tones.

To activate CTCSS, press

• As you press
“OFF” ➞ “TONE” ➞ “CTCSS” ➞ “DCS” ➞ “OFF”.

• “CT” appears on the upper part of display, indicating that the
CTCSS function is activated.

When CTCSS is ON, you will hear calls only when the
selected CTCSS tone is received. To answer the call, press
and hold Mic

Note:

◆

You cannot use the CTCSS and Tone/ DCS functions

simultaneously. Switching the CTCSS function ON after having
activated the Tone/ DCS functions deactivates the Tone/ DCS
functions.

◆

If you select a high CTCSS frequency, receiving audio or noise

that contains the same frequency portions may cause CTCSS to
function incorrectly. To prevent noise from causing this problem,
select an appropriate squelch level {page 14}.

◆

While transmitting the 1750 Hz tone by pressing
