Receiving and Transmitting
Whenever the VHF 725e is powered-up
(On) it is in the receiving mode. If the unit is
monitoring a channel that is broadcasting, you
will hear that transmission. It is possible to
monitor any channel on any band, but transmis-
sion on some channels is not allowed. Many are
receive only channels, while others are simply
not intended for your category of radio use.
To receive on the VHF 725e:
1. Press and release the PWR key to turn the unit on.
2. Observe that the display screen will come on and
the last channel accessed will be displayed. If there
is someone transmitting on that channel, you will
hear their communication and the RX symbol will
appear on the LCD display. You may now select
from the many receiving options.
NOTE: For clearer reception, you can adjust the
volume key up or down and set the squelch
threshold to a level at which the audio will be
enabled.
3. Press the U/I/C key to select a channel band.

5. Press the MEM key when scrolling through the
channels to enter up to ten channels in the SCAN
memory. You must select at least two for the
SCAN feature to activate. (Figure 10)
