- EXTRA FUNCTIONS FOR THE STANDARD C520/528
- -----------------------------------------
-
- 1). ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS WHILST IN "SET MODE"
-
- While holding the [FUNC] button press the [0/SET SB] button to enter
- set mode. (See Section 15 in manual).
- Whilst still in set mode the following btttons can be pressed, together
- with the [FUNC] button, to provide the these functions
-
- BUTTON FUNCTION
- ------ --------
-
- [3/PO] Changes band in use in extended coverage mode (UHF Only)
- i.e. 300 MHz / 400 MHz / 800 MHz / 900 MHz
-
- [4/FL DM] Displays a "." between 2nd & 3rd Digit. What else it does
- is a mystery, if anyone knows please let me know.
-
- [6/STEP] Toggles the tunning steps on the knob on top whilst [FUNC]
- is depressed, between 1MHz and 0.1 MHz.
-
- [8/RPT] Enables / Disables Cross band talk through mode. When Enabled
- a "." appears to the top right of the memory number position.
-
- [9/REV] Toggles UP and DOWN buttons between the normal steps and
- 10 MHz steps.
-
- [DWN/* PS] Enter cloning mode. Transfers all memory data between
- 2 x C520/528`s. Tune both radios to the same frequency on one
- of the bands. Enter cloning mode on both radios. Press PTT on
- hhe radio that contains the memory data, A series of DTMF
- tone will be heard for approx 2 minutes. The receiving radio`s
- memories will now be identical to the transmitting radio.
-
-
- 2). EXTRA MEMORY FUNCTIONS, 40 MEMORY CHANNELS or SEPARATE TX/RX FREQ`S
-
- Although the standard manual states that 20 memories are available
- split between VHF and UHF bands, in fact there are 2 memory channels
- for each memory number on the VHF and UHF bands. These can be used in
- 2 ways. One way is to double the number of simplex channels availible,
- another is to provide programable RX and TX frequencies for each memory
- number.
-
- a) PROGRAMMING SEPARATE RX & TX FREQUENCIES IN ONE MEMORY LOCATION
-
- 1. In VFO mode select your RX frequency
- 2. Press [FUNC] and [V/M ENT] buttons together
- 3. Press the memory number to be programmed
- 4. Press [V/M ENT] button to return to VFO mode
- 5. Select your TX frequency.
- 6. Press [V/M ENT] and [FUNC] buttons together
- 7. Press [FUNC] button together with the memory number to program
-
- "+-" Will appear in the repeater shift display to indicate that the
- memory channel is now in split frequency mode. Once a memory location
- has been put into split frequency mode it cannot be changed back to a
- simplex memory unless it is programmed as an extra channel (see below)
- or a RESET is carried out.
- Pressing [FUNC] and [9/REV] will cause the RX and TX frequencies to be
- swapped.
-
- b) PROGRAMMING EXTRA MEMORY CHANNELS, EXTENDS TO 40 MEMORIES.
-
- Program the first 10 memories on each band as per the manual. To
- program the additional 10 memories on each band follow the instructions
- below.
-
- 1. In VFO mode select the frequency required.
- 2. Press [FUNC] and [V/M ENT] buttons together. _
- 3. Press [FUNC] and [A/CL] Buttons together. (an M will be displayed)
- 4. Press the memory number to be programmed
-
- To recall these extra memories. Either use the rotary tunning control
- in memory mode, which will now cycle through all programmed memories.
- Or enter memory mode and press [FUNC] and [A/CL] together and the bar
- will appear above "M" indicator as when it was programmed, pressing
- buttons 0 to 9 will then recall the extended channels.
- The extended memory channels can have repeater shifts and CTCSS tones
- programmed in to them in the normal way BUT the value of the repeater
- ofset and the frequency of the CTCSS tone will be the same for both of
- the channels stored in one memory location. i.e memory 1 and -1 will
- both have the same repeater ofset but if the ofset is not activated on
- channel -1 then it can be used as a simplex channel.
