Switch -z is optional later. frontend filter all screws inwards seems typical. tx vco range, if trimming is not enough remove vco case, look under, add 1pF from resonator hot end to ground (440-470 types) or whatever is needed. 2p7 reportedly works good. ctcss tx, optional PLL DATA --R-+-R-- MOD, both pins on vco case. untested. _C_ In setup, round all ctcss Hertz to nearest integer. "monitor", the round upper button on the side, above ptt, optional wire EMG_1 from logic board to pin 1 of the 15 pin zigzag connector, on motherboard. pin 1 is almost under the small tin cover, near the button itself. originally, the button is wired to nothing. look under front panel antenna volume/on-off tx peak "5W" real squelch front end lotsa modulski filter cans 2ndIF/detector deviation control voltage test tx vco 3.5v center xo finetune rx vco fuse look under back panel volume/on-off antenna lotsa logikski modem deviation dtmf/1750 deviation keyboard basic 1 2 3 toggle or shortcut setup 4 5 6 backspace or clear buffer. history rewound 7 8 9 roll call/qsy/beach or enter tx offset (+) scan 0 enter roll simplex/duplex/reverse or enter tx offset (-) 0 c/q/b kHz, or shortcut rep list 1 memory memory, or reject channel when scanning 2 band command or (power off/on to clear tmp rejects) recall history setup 1 2 3 toggle or shortcut setup 4 5 6 backspace or clear buffer 7 8 9 + parameter or dive (up arrow) prev 0 next - parameter or back or enter new value memory edit 1 2 3 toggle or shortcut setup 4 5 6 backspace or clear buffer 7 8 9 tx offset (+) or use memory prev 0 next tx offset (-) or back or enter N go to another memory NN flags NNN CTCSS (000 to remove) NNNN+ rx freq rep list (digits search by letter) QZ ABC DEF to basic state GHI JKL MNO nothing PRS TUV WXY use repeater prev ÅÄÖ next back to setup note 'QZ and space' transmit 1 2 3 A dtmf, 1 second tone (sorry; make-only keyboard) 4 5 6 B 7 8 9 C * 0 # D memory flags 1 scan (fork on screen) or not (pi) 2 ... 64 no meaning access tone verify "TX TONE" Hertz (3 F1 F1), 1750 typical. for fixed 0.5 sec, key 'didah' with PTT. look for 't' on screen, top right. duplex must be on. for random duration, use PTT in screen "TX TONE". access tone is not heard locally like dtmf is.
