- 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.
-
-
-
-
- All the functions for the standard C528 are as below. If anyone out there has
- any that aren't listed, please mail to me!
-
- Standard C520/C528 Modifications
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This file is a compendium from to others being bandied about the place. It
- is hoped this will be the better of them, being the easiest to follow!
-
- o To open up the rx only up on the unit on VHF:
- VHF F+0 F+D
-
- o To add 320-400MHz, 400-480MHz, 820-900MHz, 900-980MHz:
- UHF F+L F+0 F+B F+L F+3 A
-
- o To Expand Tx/Rx coverage, do both the above in that order, then:
- VHF F+6 change step to 12.5MHz A
- F+8 F+8 F+C
- Tune down to 144.9875
- F+0 F+D PTT F+8 F+C
-
- o To Store independent transmit/receive frequency in one channel:
- Enter receive frequency into dial
- F+D <mem number>
- Enter transmit frequency into dial
- F+D F+A F+<mem number> A
-
- o To Clear the tx assignment offset:
- F+D F+A <mem number>+A F+A A
-
- o To Clone one set to another:
- B B F+0 F+PS then key up on the set to clone from
-
- Set mode key assignments:
- The set mode allows a number of user parameters to be customised according
- to individual taste. Set mode is initiated by pressing F+0. The following
- are entered after going into set mode:
-
- 0 Turns off the beep tones on each keypress
- F+0 Sets band edge limits, i.e. 0079=100-179, 400-479. 3060=130-160
-
- 1 Changes count of paging operations tone, one beep or 5
- F+1 Set tx delay on carrier drop when using as cross-band repeater
-
- 2 Enables entry of the 1kHz figure on direct keypad entry
- F+2 Stop scan on busy channel even if CTCSS doesn't match
-
- 3 Sets mod delay on paging Tx to either 450ms or 750ms
- F+3 Switch UHF bands between 300/400/800/900
-
- 4 Mutes short noises during squelch operation
- F+4 Keypad entry of 4 digit or 3 digit frequency
-
- 5 Turns on and off the auto power off function
- F+5 Pager Audio Mute (Mutes any audio that follows the paging signal)
-
- 6 Enable/Disable the rotary channel knob when keypad locked
- F+6 Fast tune (F+KNOB) gives either 1MHz steps, or 100kHz
-
- 7 Sets the CTCSS tone frequency
- F+7 Either Dual Tone Multi Frequency, or Single Tone Frequency
-
- 8 Sets the offset repeater frequency
- F+8 Cross Band Repeater Enable/Disable (Identified on display by a ".")
-
- 9 Changes the LAMP button into the REV button
- F+9 Up and Down keys either act as the knob, or as 10MHz steps.
