Programming receive-only frequencies

While in the channel editor:

1. Press the

keys to select a suitable channel (81-99).

2. Press and hold the

key until the radio beeps. ‘–OFF-’ will flash under the channel number.

You now have 20 seconds to begin programming otherwise the Menu will time-out.

3. Press the

key to begin selecting the desired frequency starting at 403 MHz. The right hand

digit will flash. Press the

key repeatedly to increase the frequency in 12.5 kHz steps (the display

will show the frequency to the nearest 10 kHz). Press the

key to decrease the frequency. To

advance more quickly through the frequencies, press and hold the

keys.

4. To change the frequency in 1 MHz steps, briefly press the

key. The 1 MHz digit will flash.

Now press the

keys to adjust the frequency in 1 MHz steps.

As you approach the desired frequency, briefly press the

key again to return the original

12.5 kHz steps for finer adjustment.

5. When the desired frequency is displayed, press and hold the

key to store it. The frequency will

flash then the radio will beep. The radio will then exit the Menu and return to normal operation.

6. Repeat steps 1 – 5 to program other channels.

NOTE:

The frequency tuning is live which means the radio is actually listening to the frequencies you

are selecting. You can use this feature to locate and store active frequencies while you are tuning.

If you need to program more than 19 channels, simply select another channel bank.

To close the channel editor

Once you have finished programming your frequencies, switch the radio Off then On again. Normal
operation will be restored and only those Receive-only channels you have programmed will be
selectable above channel 80. Remember, if you have programmed some of your channels into different
channel banks, you will need to select the appropriate channel bank to access them.

Displaying Alpha names on your Receive-only channels

By default the TX6500S displays the received signal strength under the channel number on all channels.
However on Receive-only channels you can also configure the display to show an Alpha name or the
channel frequency. This option is only available when a receive-only channel is selected.

1. Select a receive-only channel.

2. Press and hold the

key until the radio beeps.

3. Briefly press the

key repeatedly to advance to the S-Meter option. (‘S-MET’, ‘S-LIN’ or ‘BATT’

will be displayed. ‘S-MET’ is the default).
