Very helpful! I don’t know why the instruction manual for this rig is so hard to figure out; I spent so much time trying to get it set up and you got me there in 9 minutes!
I'm looking to buy one of these - however, in the manual it says the SWR meter doesn't work on the 2m band? I'm wondering whether this is something they didn't amend from the manual for the MkI or MkII? Does anyone know whether the SWR meter works on 2m please? 73
Note: Some guys just hit the MW once to try to program the channel to memory-You must HOLD the MW and get the 3 beeps to confirm that it's written to memory. Just my $0.02.
re hi dave know i tryed to program a nother repeater i have one on ch 1 but tred to put one on ch 15 echolink 146.790 so when i did that the radio turn off when i keyed up on the mic dont know what happen n lost ch one but i got it back now. the queston is how do i add more repeater do i have hit the power n lock buttonagin n do all the steps over like dup - and + n tone n 600hz to add more repeaters or what i am lost on this one.
Can this radio be set to *Transmit Only* ?? My local CERT team has this exact radio in our emergency comms truck. I want to program a bunch of repeaters for MONITORING purposes only. I can't find such a setting in the manual or online. Thanks!

Really useful thanks for taking the time to show this
Good breakdown of instructions. Thanks. VK2BJW
So helpful. Many Thanks. She works great now!
Our local repeater turned off the PL Tone and switched to DCS 125. I cannot find any DCS setting in the manual. Can this be done?
I’m wondering the same thing?? Does it do DCS tones?? If you got an answer please pass it on, thanks.
no it does not. @@vincentcimino1963
