TABLE 1 OFFSET FREQUENCY CHART
(9) REV KEY
The REV key allows instant reversal of the REV function is
also useful to check the repeater input to determine if
another station is heard directly so you can go simplex. To
activate the REV function:
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the REV key. The
repeater input frequency and opposite SHIFT indicator will
appear on the LCD display panel.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the REV key again
to cancel the REV function.
If the frequency, as a result of the REV key being
activated, is out of band, the beep will sound and no
change will take place. The beep won't be heard through the
speaker if it has been turned off.
(10) TONE KEY
The Tone Encoder and Tone (Decoder) Squelch function is
standard on the DJ-580T/E. Tone Encode and Decode work on
the Main Band only. The DJ-580T/E has 38 settings from 67.0
hz to 250.3 hz (TABLE 2). Utilize the TONE key to access
these settings. Access to an increasing number of repeaters
is restricted by requiring that a sub-audible tone be
transmitted with the input signal to open the repeater. To
select the needed tone, perform the following:
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the TONE key. A
tone frequency will appear in the LCD display.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning dial or either the UP ARROW or
DOWN ARROW key to the desired tone frequency.

is at the lowest range for battery rating. Refer to the
battery specifications for more on output levels.
*** WARNING ***
It is possible to cause UHF receive interference while
transmitting on VHF. To avoid this from happening, make
sure that the VHF frequency x 3 does not equal the
frequency on UHF. For example, if VHF transmit frequency is
146.190 the UHF frequency should not be set at 438.570.
(12) T.SQL KEY
The Tone Encoder and Tone (Decoder) Squelch function is
standard on the DJ-580T/E. Tone Encode and Decode works on
the Main Band only. In other words, it is expected that you
can only speak on one band at a time. When changing over to
the other band, another tone may be used. Further
clarification is made in the cross band repeat section. The
DJ-580T/E has 38 settings from 67.0 hz to 250.3 hz (TABLE
3). Utilize the TONE key to access these settings. Access
to an increasing number of repeaters is restricted by
requiring that a sub-audible tone be transmitted with the
input signal to open the repeater. To select the needed
tone, perform the following:
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the TONE key. A
tone frequency will appear in the LCD display.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning dial or either the UP ARROW or
DOWN ARROW key to the desired tone frequency.
3. Select the Main Band by pressing the VHF or UHF key.
4. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the T.SQL key to
display T and enable subaudible tone encoding. If T and
SQL display, then tone squelch or tone decoding is
enabled.
The tone frequency is now stored and will be transmitted
with the repeater input frequency.

8 SCANNING FUNCTIONS
The DJ-580T/E offers various scanning options and 3
scanning modes described a little later on in this section.
First lets look at the scanning options, they are:
VFO Scan - Scans either band
independently.
Program Band Scan (VFO Mode) - Scans programmed lower to
upper frequencies. You may scan a
range of frequencies.
Memory Scan - Each band may scan memory
channels independently.
8.1 VFO SCAN
Each band may scan VFO channels independently. When in Band
Scan mode the DJ-580T/E scans by Channel step, by 100 kHz
or by 1 MHz steps. As the scan passes through any 500 kHz
or 1 MHz point a tone will sound if the BEEP function is
active.
1. Select the Main Band by pressing the VHF or UHF key
twice. The purpose for pressing the band key twice is in
the event you are in memory mode by mistake.
2. Press the SCN key for approximately 1 second and release
the SCN key. Use the Main Tuning dial or UP ARROW or
DOWN ARROW keys to scan in a particular direction.
3. Whether you are cycling upward or downward, during scan
the decimal point will flash indicating that scanning
has begun.
4. When a signal is received, scanning will stop and remain
on that frequency. When channel goes quiet or Main
Tuning Dial is rotated clockwise or counter clockwise,
scanning will continue.
5. To cancel scanning press the SCN key.
All 3 scan types can be applied to Band Scan.
8.1.1 PROGRAM BAND SCAN MODE (VFO MODE)
This scan option allows the scanning of a range of VFO
frequencies. Each band may have independent scan ranges.
| The lower band limit is programmed into Memory Channel P1. The
| upper band limit is programmed into Memory Channel P2. You may
initiate Program Band Scan from either VFO or Memory mode.
EXAMPLE: STORING LOWER/UPPER RANGES

9 REPEATER OPERATIONS
Amateur radio repeaters utilize separate transmitter and
receiver sections. The transmitter frequency may be offset
either above or below the receive frequency according to
repeater coordination conventions.
9.1 SPLIT FREQUENCY FUNCTION
When standard offsets will not satisfy an input or output
frequency, a split is utilized for this purpose. Split can
be configured on the DJ-580 for VFO and MEMORY modes. The
split frequency function will not operate in CALL mode.
9.1.1 VFO MODE SPLIT
Perform the following for VFO MODE SPLIT.
1. Select the Main Band (VFO) by pressing the VHF or UHF
key. Enter a frequency into the VFO for your output
(receive) frequency.
2. Press the MR key. Program or select a frequency in any
MEMORY channel for your input (transmit) frequency.
| 3. Enter VFO as selcted in step 1. VFO frequency is used
| for receive and the MEMORY channel is used for transmit.
4. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the SHIFT key
| repeatedly until the star symbol appears on the display.
The split setup is now complete.
9.1.2 MEMORY MODE SPLIT
Perform the following for MEMORY MODE SPLIT.
1. Press the MR key. Program or select a frequency in any
MEMORY channel for your input (transmit) frequency.
2. Select the Main Band (VFO) by pressing the VHF or UHF
key. Enter a frequency into a VFO for your output
(receive) frequency.
| 3. Press the MR key again. MR frequency is used for receive
| and the VFO frequency is used for transmit.
4. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the SHIFT key
| repeatedly until the star symbol appears on the display.
The split setup is now complete.
9.2 REV KEY
In some areas there may be repeaters operating on repeater
frequency pairs, the exact reverse of another repeater in
the area. That is, the input of one repeater is the output
frequency of the other and vice versa. To avoid the
inconvenience of reprogramming every time both repeaters
are in range, the REV key allows instant reversal of the
input and output frequencies and the offset direction. The
REV function is also useful to check the repeater input to
determine if another station is heard directly so you can
go simplex. To activate the REV function:
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the REV key. The
repeater input frequency and opposite SHIFT indicator
will appear on the LCD display panel.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the REV key
again to cancel the REV function.
9.3 RESETTING RADIO
*** NOTE ***
Resetting the radio will erase all user programmed
information (frequencies,shifts,offsets etc.) Make sure
that this information has been written down before
proceeding.
1. Make sure radio is powered off.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key in while turning on the
radio via the power knob. The LCD will display 145.00
(VHF) and 445.00 (UHF).
*** NOTE ***
If you were to hold the FUNC key in and not let it go while
powering up the radio, all display segments will be shown.
9.4 CTCSS ENCODE/DECODE
CTCSS encoding allows you to select the proper tone
frequency to open another operators radio receiver or
repeater. CTCSS decoding enables another operator to select
the tone your receiver requires enabling you to hear them.
Unlike Code Squelch operation (Refer to section 11 for
details), a specific tone frequency is used. Here's how to
use CTCSS Encoding/Decoding.
1. Select the Main Band by pressing the VHF or UHF key.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the TONE key.
3. Rotate the Main Tuning dial to the desired tone.
4. When the tone has been selected enter the Main Band by
pressing either the VHF or UHF key.
5. Press and hold the FUNC key, press the T.SQL key
repeatedly. Tone settings will cycle each time the T.SQL
key is pressed. It cycles as follows on the LCD display:
o The Tone Encoder is Enabled when the letter T is
displayed on LCD.
o The Tone Decoder Squelch function is enabled when the
letter T and SQL is displayed on the LCD. When this
function is active, you would expect a particular tone
to open your radio receiver.
o When the T and SQL is not displayed, the
encoder/decoder is disabled.
EXAMPLE: TONE ENCODER/DECODER
Radio for Joe Radio for Linda
------------- ---------------
Tone set: 100.0 Tone set: 100.0
T displayed (ENCODE) T and SQL displayed (DECODE)
A) Radio operator "Joe" is calling "Linda". The interesting
point here is that when the radio that Linda is using
displays T and SQL, nothing will be heard through her
radio speaker when squelch is opened up (fully counter
clockwise). You will notice however that the S/RF
indicator will be shown on the LCD when squelch is
opened.
B) The only way that Linda will hear Joe is for Joe to send
the proper tone to open Linda's radio receiver. If Joe
doesn't send the right tone, Linda's radio will remain
silent.
tt AUTOPATCH OPERATION (AUTOMATIC DIALER)
The DJ-580T/E offers three automatic dialer memories. A
telephone number may be entered in either the VHF or the
UHF frequency mode. The stored telephone number is
transmitted on whichever band is selected as the Main Band.

| Each of these indicators are associated with a different
| rate during transmission. The fastest begins at 1 and the
| slowest is zero. The letters are variations of slow rates.
11 DIGITAL SQUELCH (DSQ)
DSQ stands for DTMF Squelch Control. DSQ is very versatile
and will allow you to:
o Make a transmission that will specifically be heard by a
particular group (of your choosing, by a code sequence).
o Place a private call to a selected person in a group.
o Call a single operator.
o Straight DSQ transmission
This feature is achieved by use of DTMF Tones that will either open
(or keep closed) the DJ-580T/E. In this section you will learn how
to transmit and receive the DSQ SCHEME! A radio must be DSQ
compatible to take advantage of these features.
11.1 DSQ SCHEME
Before we get started let's look at the DSQ tone structure.
Depending on the transmission type (Group, Private etc.), a
particular tone sequence will be sent. The tone structure
is broken down into the following areas:
o GROUP Code - 3 digit sequence
o OTHER'S Code - 3 digit sequence
o OWN Code - 3 digit sequence
o MISC Codes
The following explanation of each area will help you to
fully understand how each is utilized.
3 DIGIT "GROUP" CODE
By programming a 3 digit group code your members of a group
would receive a common transmission. Perhaps this group
wouldn't want to hear a transmission meant for another
group that has another 3 digit code sequence.
EXAMPLE: GROUP CODE
Lets say that you are helping the local police department
find a missing child. They have split 10 radio operators
into 2-five person teams. Let's call them team 1 and team
2.
Each member of team 1 has a radio with a group code of 111.
Each member of team 2 has a radio with a group code of 222.
The police have just found evidence that the child is
definitely located in team 2 territory. The central
transmission point now needs to contact the members of team
1 and notify them that their search area must be changed.
They will send out a 111 group code (tone sequence) to team
1. By virtue of the group code 111, all members of team 1
will hear the message and team 2 will hear nothing on their
radios. A separate transmission to group 2 could be placed
with specific updated information!
3 DIGIT "OTHER'S" CODE
This code is used as an identifier of another station. In
other words, it is the other persons "own" code.
EXAMPLE: OTHERS CODE
Lets say that an individual in team 1 needs to be given
some specific information. The receiving stations
identifier is referred to as the other's code. We will send
that person the information by virtue of their 3 digit
"own" code. You must enter their "own" code into your
"others" code field.
3 DIGIT "OWN" CODE
A transmitting station uses 3 digits as a personal
identification number. A receiving station uses this code
to identify who called them.
EXAMPLE: OWN CODE
Lets say that you will receive some specific information.
The other person will need to know your "own" code before
your radio will receive a private call. Your "own" code is
also necessary, because the other person receiving your
message will see your "own" code displayed on their radio
LCD.
MISC CODES
16 numbers, letters and symbols can be used for coding.
Here's what you can use; 0-9, A-D, * and #. An "H" will
appear on the LCD when the * is entered and upside down A
will appear when the # is entered. The # sign is used as a
wild card. Refer to WILDCARD for more information.
11.2 PROGRAMMING ALL DSQ CODES
Place your radio in front of you. The following steps get
your radio set for DSQ operation.
1. Select the Main Band by pressing the VHF or UHF key.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the B key. The
LCD display will indicate A-000.
3. Enter 3 digits for the group that YOU want to call. In
other words, a unique calling code for a specific group.
EXAMPLE: PROGRAM 1ST GROUP CODE
A-123
4. Rotate the Main Tuning dial clockwise until B-000 is
displayed on the LCD.
5. Enter 3 digits for another group that YOU might call.
This is an additional group calling code.
EXAMPLE: PROGRAM 2ND GROUP CODE
B-456
6. Rotate the Main Tuning dial clockwise until P-000 is
displayed on the LCD.
7. Enter 3 digits for your "own" Personal code. This is
your unique identification code.
EXAMPLE: PROGRAM YOUR OWN CODE
P-100
8. Rotate the Main Tuning dial clockwise until y-000 is
displayed on the LCD.
9. And now you must select the "others" 3 digit code. This
is the operator you're calling. Lets say you're calling
operator 200, enter "200" on the keypad.
EXAMPLE: PROGRAM THE OTHERS CODE
y-200
10. Rotate the Main Tuning dial clockwise until nn-00 is
displayed on the LCD.
11. Enter a two digit code that will become the Digital
Signal Message.
EXAMPLE: DIGITAL SIGNAL MESSAGE
nn-07
12. Press the VHF or UHF key to end setup.
Only radios with DSQ functionality are capable of receiving
and/or transmitting DSQ tasks. These tasks are described in the
following sub-sections, have fun!
11.3 DSQ MODES
This section will address all functions of DSQ and describe
how they should be used. Only through experimentation of
DSQ will you get the hang of it. DSQ functionality comes in
various flavors, and they are shown in the following table.
DSQ FUNCTION LCD DISPLAY
----------------------------- -----------------
Straight DSQ D.SQ
Group Calling G D.SQ
Private Calling In A Group G P D.SQ
Private Call P D.SQ
11.3.1 TRANSMITTING (CODE SQUELCH)
Coded Squelch is a unique 3 digit sequence, when sent to
another unit configured only for D.SQ, will open the
receiver for reception. It's always a good idea to have a
cheat card that lists each units identifier (own code) and
group codes.
1. Select the Main Band by pressing the VHF or UHF key.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the B key.
3. Rotate the Main Tuning dial and select either A- for
GROUP A or B- for GROUP B. Each group should have a
unique identifier code. If either GROUP A or B doesn't
contain the desired 3 digit code, enter it in at this
time via the keypad.
4. Return to the Main Band as selected in step 1.
5. Press the B key several times until "D.SQ" displays on
the upper right-hand corner of the LCD.
6. When you press the PTT key, the Code Squelch is
transmitted automatically. At the conclusion of the 3
digits being transmitted, the operators radio (who you
are calling) receiver will accept your transmission.
11.3.2 RECEIVING (CODE SQUELCH)
If the received Code Squelch signal matches the set Code
Squelch code, D.SQ will begin to flash on the LCD display.
In addition, an audible alert will be heard through the
speaker.
If the receiver is on receive mode by code squelch, it is
possible to communicate within 1.5 seconds after a received
signal is clipped.
11.3.3 TRANSMITTING (GROUP CALLING)
When you select this option, you will be able to contact
many operators that collectively make up a group. If
operators with compatible DSQ functionality are configured
correctly, and all have the same group code programmed,
their radios should open and receive your call. It's always
a good idea to have a cheat card that lists each units
identifier (own code) and group codes. Here's what you have
to do.
1. Press the B key.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning dial and select either A- for
GROUP A or B- for GROUP B. Each group should have a
unique identifier code.
3. Press the B key several times until G D.SQ displays on
the upper right-hand corner of the LCD.
4. When you press the PTT switch, the GROUP code selected
will be transmitted to all units in the GROUP.
If you are using GROUP A in step 2 and wish to change to
GROUP B, follow steps 1-4 again.
The following DSQ code is transmitted as shown:
(3 DIGIT GROUP CODE) * (3 DIGIT OWN CODE)
11.3.4 RECEIVING (GROUP CALLING)
To receive DSQ coded calls in GROUP CALLING, setup your
radio for G DSQ as follows:
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the B key until
G DSQ appears on the LCD display.
When the received DSQ code matches the first 3 digits of
your display (group code), the G DSQ indicator will begin
to flash. If the BEEP is off, the squelch will open for as
long as the calling operator is transmitting. If the BEEP
is on, an audible beep will be emitted from the radio and
the indicator will display which group is calling. Reset
the display by pressing the Main Band key or PTT.
11.3.5 TRANSMITTING (PRIVATE CALLING IN A GROUP)
It's always a good idea to have a cheat card that lists
each units identifier (own code) and group codes.
1. Press the B key.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning dial and select either A- for
GROUP A or B- for GROUP B. Each group should have a
unique identifier code.
3. Press the B key several times until GPDSQ displays on
the upper right-hand corner of the LCD.
4. Press the PTT switch to transmit the DSQ code or press
the VFO key for the band you are working.
The following DSQ code is transmitted as shown:
(3 DIGIT GROUP CODE) (1 DIGIT OTHERS CODE) * (1 DIGIT OWN CODE)
11.3.6 RECEIVING (PRIVATE CALLING IN A GROUP)
To receive DSQ coded calls in PRIVATE CALL IN A GROUP,
setup your radio for GPDSQ as follows:
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the B key until
GPD.SQ appears on the LCD display.
When the received DSQ code matches the first 3 digits of
your group and your own code, the DSQ GP indicator will
begin to flash. If the BEEP is off, the squelch will open
for as long as the calling operator is transmitting. If the
BEEP is on, an audible beep will be emitted from the radio
and the indicator will display which group is calling.
Reset the display by pressing the Main Band key or PTT.
11.3.7 TRANSMITTING (PRIVATE CALL)
This option would be used when someone is calling only you.
This is different from encode/decode because you determine
your own identification code and not a subaudible tone.
It's always a good idea to have a cheat card that lists
each units identifier (own code) and group codes.
1. Press the B key.
2. Press the B key several times until P D.SQ displays on
the upper right-hand corner of the LCD.
4. Press the PTT key to transmit the DSQ code or press the
VFO key for the band you are working.
The following DSQ code is transmitted as shown:
(3 DIGIT OTHERS CODE) * (3 DIGIT OWN CODE)
11.3.8 RECEIVING (PRIVATE CALL)
To receive DSQ coded calls in PRIVATE CALL, setup your
radio for P D.SQ as follows:
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the B key until
P D.SQ appears on the LCD display.
11.4 ERROR CODE
When the "Other's" private code is not confirmed the LCD
display will indicate "Er".
11.5 TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
On occasions you may find that the operation of DSQ through
some older repeaters may be unpredictable. This occurs on
initial transmit with your DJ-580. When you transmit, a
time delay occurs before the repeater is fully
transmitting. The DJ-580 will begin to transmit the DSQ
tone sequence during the repeater transmit delay. The
DJ-580 can delay 450 ms or 750 ms. In addition, the
timing period for the tone burst sequence can be adjusted.
Please refer to section 10.7 for more information.
It is possible to delay the time to transmit codes to about
750ms after the PTT key is pressed.
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the * key. The
LCD display will display FL.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the 4 key. The
LCD display will display d-750 or d-450. Repeat this
step until the desired selection is made.
3. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the * key.
Repeat this step until FL and PL is absent from the
display.
11.6 DSQ WILDCARDS
The # symbol is a wildcard that may be substituted for any
one digit,letter or symbols used in DSQ codes. When the #
symbol is entered it appears on the LCD display as an
upside down A. The wildcard allows for the combination of
many groups. If the first or first and second digits of
several group codes are the same, you can replace the
second and third digits (or just third digit) with a #
mark, and thus transmit to all those groups.
EXAMPLE: WILDCARDS
1. Enter the 2 meter frequency of 146.520.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the DSQS key.
Select any code squelch memory channel.
3. Release the FUNC key now and select a 3 digit code
squelch code using the keypad.
Example: Enter the 3 digit code 1#5.
4. Press the FUNC key to return the LCD display to
operating frequency.
Example: Now you will see on the LCD display P45.52.
5. Press the D.SQL key repeatedly (2 times) until C appears
in the 100 MHz digit location.
Example: C45.620
If the incoming coded calls are anyone with a group code as
follows, the call will be received by your radio.
o 105 through 195
o 1A5 through 1D5
o 1*5
o 1#5
6. When you receive a call from another station, the C will
flash on and off for as long as the other operator is
transmitting. Your radio has already memorized who was
calling you, so press the PTT switch and you will
transmit to that station directly. When you have
completed your QSO, enter the wildcard sequence again to
open your radio to all other stations again.
11.7 DIGITAL SIGNAL MESSAGE
This function allows you to send or receive messages
consisting of 2 digit codes.
11.7.1 TRANSMITTING DIGITAL SIGNAL MESSAGE
You can retain 1 signal message in the transmitter memory.
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the B key.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning dial and select a message memory
channel nn.
3. Enter a 2 digit message code. This is a code that has
been predetermined and understood by the operating
parties.
4. Press the VHF or UHF key to end setup.
5. Set the appropriate paging function (D.SQ, G D.SQ etc).
6. Press the PTT key to transmit the DSQ code. Continue to
hold the PTT key and press the CALL key.
What the receiving operator will see on the display will be
the unit number f the calling station followed by the 2
digit code. The following is the sequence sent:
# (2 DIGIT SIGNAL MESSAGE)
11.7.2 RECEIVING DIGITAL SIGNAL MESSAGE
1. Set the appropriate paging function (D.SQ, G D.SQ etc).
2. When the appropriate codes are received, your receiver
will open to hear the calling operator. When the digital
signal message is sent shortly after the initial
transmission, you will see on the LCD display the 3
digit calling station followed by a - and then the 2
digit digital signal message.
11.7.3 TRANSMITTING WITH DIGITAL SIGNAL DISPLAYED
While a digital signal message is displayed, press the PTT
switch. Your signal will be transmitted back to the station
calling by using the displayed DSQ settings. The frequency
will return to your LCD display.
11.7.4 REVIEW DIGITAL SIGNAL MESSAGE MEMORY
You can store up to 3 previously received digital signal
messages. The first two memories store the messages in
received order. The third memory stores the latest message.
These messages display the 3 digit calling station followed
by the 2 digit message. Here's how to view digital signal
message memory.
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the MESS key.
Select any code squelch memory channel. The latest
message will be displayed on the LCD display.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning dial to review the previously
sent messages in n1 through n2. You can also use the
arrow keys to review these messages.
11.7.5 CLEARING MESSAGE MEMORY
If you find it necessary to clear out messages, proceed
with the following steps.
1. Select the memory number and press the C key once to
clear out that location.
12 CROSS BAND REPEATER
The DJ-580 is capable of cross band repeat. To simplify
matters, it means that when you transmit on one band it is
simultaneously heard on the other band. Ok you want to set
up a cross band repeater? Here are a few things to remember
about cross band repeat:
1. When cross band repeat is active, you cannot change
frequencies or utilize other functions with the
exception of cross band deactivation.
2. Set squelch threshold before you activate cross band
repeat.
3. No radio modification is necessary to activate this
function.
4. This isn't a 100% duty cycle repeater. If
the radio becomes extremly hot to the
touch, the radio should be allowed a cool
down time.
5. Use cross band repeat in eith Low or Mid power only.
| 6. Cross band repeat will not allow for different CTCSS
| Encode/Decode tones on each band.
| Using cross band repeat allows a user to enter on one
| band and cross over to the other band. You may use shifts
| or operate in simplex operation.
12.1 ACTIVATE CROSS BAND REPEATER
Here are the steps for cross band repeat.
1. Rotate the volume controls for the VHF and UHF bands
fully counter-clockwise.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the FL key. The
LCD should display FL.
3. Press each key once as follows: #, 5, 0 and 8. You
should notice that the word oPEn displays on the LCD and
the opposite band indicator will begin to blink.
The radio is now in cross band repeat. When a signal is
received on one band, it will be retransmitted onto the
other band.
12.2 DEACTIVATE CROSS BAND REPEATER
To return to original mode perform the following:
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then you will press the
FL/PL key 4 times. After you press it the first time the
LCD will display CLoSE. This indicates to you that cross
band repeat has been disabled. The other 3 times that
you press the FL/PL key will turn off the FL and PL
indicators.
13 FULL DUPLEX OPERATION
The principles of Full Duplex operation is very much like a
telephone. The idea behind this is that when you are
talking (let's say) on 2 meters you will hear the
transmission from the other station on the 440 band. He
will hear you on 2 meters.
YOUR STATION OTHER STATION
TRANSMIT ON 2 METERS ------>-------->-------> RECEIVE ON 2 METERS
RECEIVE ON 440 BAND <-----<--------<-------- TRANSMIT ON 440 BAND
13.1 ENABLE SPEAKER FULL-DUPLEX
Enabling the speaker will cause feedback unless an external
earphone or headset is used.
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the * key. The
LCD should display FL.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the 5 key. The
LCD should display Fd-on. Repeat this step until the
field indicates Fd-on.
3. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the FL/PL key
repeatedly until the FL and PL indicators are absent
from the LCD display.
13.2 DISABLE SPEAKER SEMI-DUPLEX
Perform the following steps:
1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the * key. The
LCD should display FL.
2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the 5 key. The
LCD should display Fd-oF. Repeat this step until the
field indicates Fd-oF.
3. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the FL/PL key
repeatedly until the FL and PL indicators are absent
from the LCD display.
14 AIRCRAFT AND CELLULAR TELEPHONE MODIFICATION
The radio will have to be opened and modified to receive
aircraft and cellular telephone. This procedure isn't
difficult if you take your time. If you are unsure of your
ability to open and/or perform this mod, please find
someone with this know how!
*** NOTE ***
Don't even think of performing this modification unless you
have the right tools and temperment.
1. Turn the radio off and remove the battery pack.
2. CAREFULLY remove the 4 phillips screws on the bottom of
the radio. These screws represent each corner of the
bottom of the radio.
Front of Radio
+---------------------------------+
| * <- Remove these screws -> * |
| |
| * <- Remove these screws -> * |
+---------------------------------+
BOTTOM VIEW OF RADIO SHOWN
3. You are about to remove the battery connector plate.
There are wires connected to this plate. When moving the
plate out of the way, don't pull further then you have
to in order to see into the bottom of the radio. Locate
| a BRIGHT RED LOOPED WIRE. Remove or cut (tape exposed
ends) this jumper. That's all there is folks!
| *** WARNING ***
| You should be extremely careful not to cut the wrong
| wire. You may cut the BRIGHT RED LOOPED WIRE. Don't
| cut the pink or orange wire by mistake.
4. Take your time and reassemble the radio. Make sure that
during reassembly that you:
o Don't forget to place long tension arm (part of the
battery connector plate) into the battery lock clip
located on the same side of the radio as the PTT
switch.
REMEMBER, be patient and take your time. Never force
anything together! It came apart easily, it should go back
together that way.
5. Reset the radio (Section 9.3) and enjoy a hot airband
receiver. You will be able to enter a frequency range
from 108-142.995. The receiver will actually begin to
receive around 110 MHz. Another way to gain access into
the airband is, press the "FUNC" button while pressing
the "VHF" key.
| *** CELLULAR RECEIVE ***
| After you modified your DJ-580 for Airband, you also
| enabled cellular telephone reception. To receive
| cellular telephone, you can enter the frequency directly
| from the keypad or press the "FUNC" button while
| pressing the "UHF" key. The STEP key in cellular regions
| will only allow increments of 10, 12.5, 20 and 25 kHz.
*** NOTE ***
If you see a second decimal point blink in the frequency
displayed, this means that the PLL circuitry isn't locked.
Example: 108.0.0
^____ This decimal point will blink.
