DIGITAL MODE OPERATION
■Call sign programming
Four types of call sign memories are available for your own
call sign “MyCALL,” other station call sign “UrCALL,” repeater
call sign “RPT1 C” and “RPT2 C.” “MyCALL” can store up to
6, “UrCALL” can store up to 99 and “RPT1/2 C” can store up
to 54 call signs, and each call sign can be programmed with
up to 8 characters.
DDYour own call sign programming
Your own call sign must be programmed for both digital voice
and low-speed data communications (including GPS transmis-
sion).
qPush [SET•LOCK] to enter call sign set mode.
• Rotate [DIAL] to select “CALLS,” if “SET” or “MESSAG” is dis-
played.
wPush [SET•LOCK] or [S.MW•MW] several times to select
“MyCALL,” then push [BAND•MODE].
eRotate [DIAL] to select the desired call sign channel from
“M01” to “M06.”
rPush [BAND•MODE] for 1 sec. to enter call sign program-
ming mode.
• The 1st digit blinks.
tRotate [DIAL] to select the desired character or code.
• Push [SET•LOCK] or [S.MW•MW] to move the cursor to right or
left, respectively.
yPush [SET•LOCK] to select 2nd digit, then rotate [DIAL]
to select the desired character or code.
• 2nd digit blinks (1st digit stops blinking).
• Repeat this step for programming your own call sign.
uPush [BAND•MODE] for 1 sec. to save the call sign and
enter the note programming mode.
• Up to a 4-digit of note (operating radio type or area) can be set.
iPush [BAND•MODE] for 1 sec. to save the note and exit
the note programming mode.
oRepeat steps eto ito program other call sign channels.
!0 Push one of [TONE•T-SCAN•BK], [LOW•DUP] or
[MONI•DTMF•EMR] to exit call sign set mode.
NOTE: During the call sign programming mode (rto u),
push [V/MHz•SCAN] to clear the entered call sign (the cur-
sor returns to the 1st digit position), push [V/MHz•SCAN]
again to display the previously saved call sign.

NOTE: In digital mode operation; when the “BUSY” indi-
cator appears but no sound comes out the speaker, it
may be because of the analog FM mode interference. In
this case, to prevent to interference from analog FM, set
the digital monitor setting (instruction manual; p. 88) to “AN
(analog)” then listen on the channel before transmitting
by pushing [MONI•DTMF] on the front panel or [
MONI

When a call in digital voice mode is received, the calling sta-
tion and using repeater call signs being used can be stored
into the received call record. The stored call signs are view-
able in the following manner.

q Push [SET•LOCK] to enter call sign set mode.
•Rotate [DIAL] to select “CALLS”if necessary.
wPush [SET•LOCK] or [S.MW•MW] several times to select
the received call indication.
•“RXCALL,”“RXRPT1,”and “RXRPT2”are available for the re-
ceived station, repeater 1 and repeater 2 call signs, respectively.
eTo confirm the received call, push [BAND•MODE] to enter
the received call sign indication mode.
•Push [SET•LOCK] or [S.MW•MW] to display last 6-digit or first
6-digit of the call sign, respectively.
•When “RXCALL”is selected in step w, the additional note can
be displayed by pushing [BAND•MODE].
•Push [BAND•MODE] once or twice to exit the indication mode.
rPush one of [TONE•T-SCAN•BK], [LOW•DUP] or
[MONI•DTMF•EMR] to exit call sign set mode.
zPush [

•Push [YY]or [ZZ]to select “CALLS,”if necessary.
xPush [ SET B(D-OFF)] or [ ENT C(T-OFF)] several
times to select the received call indication.
•“RXCALL,”“RXRPT1”and “RXRPT2”are available for
the received station call sign, repeater 1 and repeater
2 call sign, respectively.
cTo confirm the received call, push [BAND] to
enter the received call sign indication mode.
•When “RXCALL”is selected in step x, the additional
note can be displayed by pushing [BAND].
vPush [ CLR
A(MW)] to exit call sign set mode.
For your information
By selecting “MyCALL,”“UrCALL,”“RPT1 C”or “RPT2 C”at
step was at above left, the programmed call sign can also
be displayed for confirmation.
[DIAL] rotation is necessary to select the desired call sign
channel in this case.
NOTE: The record is cleared once turning power OFF, or
overwritten when another call is received.

DDReceived station call sign indication
➥Push and hold [TONE•T-SCAN•BK], until 2 beeps sound,
to display the received station call sign.
•The first 6-digit of the stored call sign in “RXCALL”are displayed.
•While continuing to hold [TONE•T-SCAN•BK] even if 2 beeps
sound, a long beep will sound and the stored call signs (in “RX-
CALL,”“RXRPT1”and “RXRPT2”) are set for operation (see
“One-touch reply using the call record”as below). While continu-
ing to hold [TONE•T-SCAN•BK] even if a long beep sounds, a
long beep will sound again and the break-in function will be set
(see p. 22)
DDOne-touch reply using the call record
The stored call signs in the call record can be set for opera-
tion to reply to the call.
qAfter receiving a call, push and hold [TONE•T-SCAN•BK]
until 2 regular and 1 long beeps sound.
Or, during the received call sign indication as described in
“Desired call sign indication”at left, push [SET•LOCK] for
1 sec.
•Set your own call sign (MyCALL) in advance.
•The call sign stored in “RXCALL”is set to “UrCALL,”“RXRPT1”
is set to “RPT2 C”and “RXRPT2”is set to “RPT1 C.”
wPush [PTT] to transmit; release to receive.
For your information
When the call that is specifying your own call sign is received,
the station and the using repeater call signs being used can
be set for operation automatically.
•When “Auto Received Call sign Write (RCW)”(instruction
manual; p. 87) is set to ON, the stored station call sign in “RX-
CALL”is set to “UrCALL”automatically.
•When “Auto Received Repeater Call sign Write (RRW)”(in-
struction manual; p. 88) is set to ON, the stored station call
sign in “RXRPT1”is set to “RPT2 C”and “RXRPT2”is set
to “RPT1 C”automatically.
Important!
The set call signs with the “One-touch reply using the call
record”operation as at below left are for temporary opera-
tion only. Therefore, the set call signs will be erased when
another call sign is set.
•Never saved into a call sign memory.
If you want to save the set call signs, see “Copying the set
call sign contents for temporary operation”(p. 17) for details.

This is a way to program the set operating frequency with
other settings into a memory channel and the set call sign
(“UrCALL,”“RPT1 C”and “RPT2 C”), from the call record, at the
same time.
qAfter a call is received, perform “One-touch reply using the

during “Auto Received Call sign Write (RCW)”(instruction man-
ual; p. 87) and/or “Auto Received Repeater Call sign Write

tion and/or repeater call signs are set automatically.
wWhen the call is received in memory mode, perform

quency with other settings into the selected memory chan-
nel. The set call signs in “UrCALL,”“RPT1 C”and
“RPT2 C”are saved into their respective blank channels
(U01–U99 and r01–r54) at the same time.
For your information
If [S.MW•MW] is pushed for 1 sec. at step eas at left, the
operating frequency and another settings can be stored into
the displayed memory channel. (steps rand tcan be
skipped)
However, the memory channel is over-written, and the cur-
rently programmed frequency and settings will be lost.
•The saved contents in the call sign memories are kept.

When call sign memories are full (no blank channel is avail-
able), the call sign is unable to be saved and the function
display shows the following indication.
