Programming a Basic Simplex Channel (No Tone)

Programming a Basic Simplex Channel (No Tone)
into channel 99

The next example shows entering TX and RX frequencies without the Shift (25) or Offset (26) functions.

This may be more reliable, since only the "A" display works for programming memories, thus, the radio can only remember one offset value for programming purposes.



To demonstrate, here is how you would program 146.580 simplex into memory 99.
There is no CTCSS tone in this example.

1.    Set radio to VFO Mode (Frequency Mode)
      a.)     UV5R series - Press VFO/MR button
      b.)    
UV82 - Turn radio OFF, then Press/Hold MENU button during PowerON.


2.    Select   Display A    (this is a must)
      a.)     UV5R - Press     [A/B]      and select the Upper Display.
      b.)     UV82 - Press [EXIT A/B] and select the Upper Display.

3.    Disable TDR (Dual Watch/Dual RX) which toggles between A and B.
          Press  
[Menu]   7   [Menu]
          Select OFF
          Press 
[Menu]   [Exit]
 

4.    Delete Prior Data from the channel to be programmed.
          Press  
[Menu]   2 8   [Menu]
          Enter   9 9   (Memory Channel  to clear)
          Press  [Menu]   [Exit]

 
5
.    Store RX frequency
          Enter    1 4 6 5 8 0
          Press  [Menu]   2 7   [Menu]
 
          Enter   9 9   (Memory Channel)
          Press  [Menu]   [Exit]

6.    Store TX frequency
          Enter   1 4 6 5 8 0 again
          Press  [Menu]   2 7   [Menu]
          Enter  
9 9   (Memory Channel)
         
Press  [Menu]   [Exit]

.    The simplex channel is now programmed.
