• The rich feature set conforms to highest industry standards:
• 200 memories,
• 10 programmable band scan edges,
• independent Tx/Rx frequencies in a memory,
• numerous scan options,
• VOX operation (with optional headset),
• two freely configurable buttons on the radio,

The operating frequency can be set in steps of 5 t o100 kHz in VFO mode, CTCSS and DCS filter setting allow undisturbed use and targeted calls of individuals and entire groups. A WFM radio is also provided. With the optional programming cable all settings and memories can be controlled from a computer. The functions for cloning a radio are also provided.

Note: The antenna connection on the radio is a recessed SMA connector, i. e. female thread and male inner conductor. Accordingly the antenna has an external thread and a female inner conductor.

This means that only certain antennas from other manufacturers, e. g. Diamond antennas with a “J” in the product designation such as the SRJ-77CA, can be used.
