Radio Operation
SEARCHING FOR A NEW ACTIVE FREQUENCY
At times, more frequencies will become active than have been prepro-
grammed into the radio. You can search the 2-Meter Ham band by
pressing the Up or Down Tuning Button and holding it
momentarily. You can also start scanning by pressing and
releasing the main Tuning Knob. The radio will begin search-
ing the entire 2-Meter Ham band until it finds an active frequency and
then it will stop. You may want to write down this frequency to keep
track of which frequencies are active. With time you may find a frequen-
cy of interest.
During non-emergency times, you can listen and learn more about the
Ham radio operators that live around you. After listening to them for a
time, you may find you would like to be a Ham, too. Joining requires
passing an entry level multiple choice test and purchasing reasonably
priced Ham radio equipment. The 2-Meter band is the most popular
place to start for a Ham. You can contact the American Radio Relay
League (ARRL) toll free at 888-277-5289 or at arrl.org to find out what
you need to learn and the nearest testing location.
C. Crane salutes every Ham who has volunteered to be a part of
emergency radio operations.
DEFAULT CLOCK/ FREQUENCY SETTING
When listening to AM and FM bands the default setting is for the
Frequency to be displayed for approximately 5 seconds and then return
to the Clock Display. This can be changed to show just the Frequency
unless the Clock/ Freq button is pushed and then the clock will displpay
for approximately 5 seconds and then show the Frequency.
To change the display to show Frequency- turn on the power, then
press the Clock/ Freq button. Then press the Memory1 button until you
hear a beep. You should now see the frequency displayed unless you
push the Clock/ Freq button, in which case you will see the clock for
approximately 5 seconds.
Reverse the process to return to the default of showing the clock.
