PROGRAMMING USER CHANNELS
Your TX6200 has provision for an extra
19 Receive-Only channels in addition
to the standard 80 UHF CB channels
provided. These extra channels can be
user programmed into channel positions
81 through 99 within the frequency
range of 403 to 520 MHz. Frequencies
are selected in 125 kHz steps. Note that
the standard CB channels 1 through 80
are fixed and cannot be altered
or disabled.
SELECTING THE USER CHANNEL
FREQUENCY EDIT STEP SIZE
Before editing or programming ‘Receive
Only’ channels, you should preset the
size of the frequency step between the
channels. The step options are 12.5 kHz
or 25 kHz. The setting applies only to the
editing of ‘Receive Only’ channels (81
– 99) and has no effect on normal CB
channels (1 – 80).
To set the Channel step:
1. Turn the TX6200 OFF
2. Press and hold the key while
turning the TX6200 ON.
The display will show the selected
channel step for 5 seconds.
i.e. 12.5 kHz steps displays ’12.5k’
25 kHz steps displays ’25,0k’
Once selected, the setting remains stored
in the radio until toggled again.
NOTE: If the step size is change from 12.5
kHz back to 25 kHz, any frequencies currently
stored in 12.5 kHz steps remain unchanged.
However if any of these channels are edited,
their frequencies can only be altered
in 25 kHz steps with a 12.5 kHz offset. To
return these channels to a normal offset, set
these channels to OFF then restart the radio
in the programming mode.
IMPORTANT: The display is only able to
show the first 5 digits of the frequency i.e. the
last kHz digits are not displayed.
However it is easy to ‘guess’ the actual
frequency since the missing digits will
always alternate between 2.5 or 5 kHz
