When the freq reads 27.225 ch reads ch 26 i can talk to folks and everyboby says it sounds fine don't jump freq or anything just ch select off ???

If it doesn't say call the mafactor

check out your crystal...this is what controls your freq. it could be as simple as a bad soilder

sounds to me someone was tampering with it ,your best bet is to get a frequency counter and realine the radio .start from 27.185 centre band you can do this by tuning the ossolator be very careful not to damage this should realine the radio for you goodluck

Clear out everything do the following

While holding down 2, 9, and Hold, turn on the
scanner. It takes about 3 seconds to initialize
and CLEAr appears.

To take out individual Freq. Manually tune to that freq. Ch/Bank on the scanner. Enter 0.00 like a new freq for that ch. and it will be gone.

Same problem for me also blocking on the tape amateur 144/148 MHz not of emission nor of green reception led does not ignite malgres the modifs. Have a solution thank you

Ok! well i deffinitally know what the problem is. You need to play with the clarifier, i think all the way to the left is a "course and fine tune" knob. This is generally for use when talking on SSB. but may affect AM if its way off.

The clarifier lets you slide on the freq. some radios will go a full channel some will only go a little or above the center of the channel. You need to play with the clarifier, you probably need to turn the course a lot, untill the audio is almost clear on the channel you want to talk on, than use the fine to tune it in so it sounds like they are sitting right next to you.

what you should do is buy a Frequency counter, you got a nice radio, so the freq. counter wouldent hurt. lets say you want to be on channel 19. you would turn the clarifiers untill i read 27.1850 That would put you right on the money

Ok doc, I'll see if I can walk you thru this as there don't seem to be a manual available for download.
* Push manual button and bring it around to channel #1
Enter the freq including the decimal point. Push the E button to enter the freq into the first channel.
* Push manual again and move to channel #2 and repeat.

the two radios are on different CTCSS Tones

If you have programming cables and SW you can program a freq. in the center of the band,in slimplex. Question, can you read this radio?

is this set AM and the recievers FM? if so there will be no way round the 'problem' BOB
