-
- (9) 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 3. Select the Main Band by pressing the VHF or UHF key.
-
- 4. The tone has now been selected, now you need to enable
- it. Press the T.SQL key.
-

- is at the lowest range for battery rating.
-
- *** 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 work on
- the Main Band only. The DJ-580T/E has 38 settings from 67.0
- hz to 250.3 hz (TABLE 3). Utilize the TONE key to access

- 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.

- 6.2.4 FREE VHF/UHF MEMORY CHANNELS
-
- Using this feature will allow you to free up memory
- channels from either band and allocate to the other band
- for frequency storage.
-
- EXAMPLE: FREE MEMORY CHANNELS
-
- Lets say you wish that you had 25 programmable VHF memory
- channels but the radio comes defaulted to 20. No problem,
- that is why this feature has been included. Since the radio
- has 40 channels in total, 20 for each VFO, it is possible
- to allocate all 40 channels to one band for memory
- programming. This scenario would of course leave the other
- band with no programmable memory channels. Here's how to
- make it all happen.
-
- 1. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the * key. The
- symbol FL will appear on the LCD display.
-
- 2. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the 1 key. The
- number of allocated memory channels for each VFO will
- appear on each band display.
-
- When the Main Tuning Dial is rotated clockwise, the
- number of possible VHF memory channels will increase.
- This number will increase while the allocated memory
- channels from the UHF side will decrease.
-
- When the Main Tuning Dial is rotated counter clockwise,
- the number of possible UHF memory channels will
- increase. This number will increase while the allocated
- memory channels from the VHF side will decrease.
-
- 3. Press and hold the FUNC key, then press the * key four
- (4) times to clear FL/PL from the display and exit beep
- tone level mode.
