Mounting Bracket
1 Install the bracket using the supplied flat washers
and self-tapping screws (4 pcs. each).
2 Attach the transceiver into the bracket using the
SEMS screws (4 pcs.). Do not tighten yet.
3 Adjust the viewing angle of the transceiver in the
bracket.
4 Hold the transceiver at the selected viewing angle
and tighten the 4 SEMS screws using the supplied
wrench.
Battery Connections
Connect the power cable directly to the vehicle
battery terminals. Do not use the cigarette lighter
socket. It cannot supply sufficient current for proper
operation of the transceiver. Pay specific attention to
the polarity of the cables when connecting them to
the battery.

Caution
Do not connect the AC power cable to the AC outlet until all
other connections have been made and double checked.
Before connecting or disconnecting the power connector, be
sure to turn OFF the POWER switches of both the transceiver
and the DC power supply.
Observe polarity of the DC power cable. The transceiver
operates on 13.8 V DC, negative ground. Battery or supply
polarity must be correct. The power cable is color coded as

Antenna
The type of antenna that is used will greatly affect
the performance of the transceiver. Use a properly
adjusted antenna, of good quality, to enable your
transceiver to perform to its maximum potential. The
antenna input impedance is 50 ohms. Therefore,
use 50-ohm coaxial cable such as RG-58U for this
connection. lf the antenna location is far from the
transceiver, use low loss coaxial cable such as RG-
8U. A properly installed antenna and coaxial feed
line will exhibit an SWR of less than 1.5 to 1.
The transceiver protection circuit will activate if the
SWR is poor (greater than 3 to 1).
A high SWR will cause the transmitter output to drop,
and may lead to TVI or BC! complaints.
Caution
It is highly recommended that you install commercially
available liglining arresters in all of your antenna lines for
brutection against equipment damage, fire, electric shock, or
personal injury.

Note
When tuning above the transceiver band limit using the MHz
key, digits to the right of the 100 kHz digit will always equal
the same digits in the old frequency. However, the 100 kHz
digit will place the new frequency within the first 100 kHz
segment up from the lower band limit. Similarly, when tuning
below the band limit, the new frequency will be within 100 kHz
of the upper limit. This is also true when band limits have been
customized using the programmable VFO feature (see page 52). |

The typical method of controlling squelch on a
receiver is by detecting the reduction in the
background noise leve!, or quieting, caused by the
presence of a signal. This method is good, but
does not allow precise threshold control. By
changing to S-Meter squelch control you can set
the squelch threshold so that it does not open
until a specific S-Meter reading is obtained.
This function can be set for each band.

SCAN
Each band can be scanned independently. The
squelch must be set. (See the chart, page 23).
Scan cannot be used in conjunction with the Tone
Alert function.
Note
1 When CTCSS is operating, scan will stop only on a signal
with the preselected subaudible tone.
2 With DTSS operating, scan will stop (with the squelch
turned off) whenever a signal is received. Squelch will not
open, however, until the preselected DTSS tone codes are
received.
3 When both CTCSS and DTSS are on, scan will stop when
the proper CTCSS tone is received. Squelch will then open
only if the DTSS code matches when scan stops.
Scan Options
The following scan options are provided:
Band Scan
Scan proceeds over the entire band. This
function operates only in the VFO mode.
Programmable Band Scan
The scan range in this mode is specified in
memory .
40
MHz Scan
Scans over a 1 MHz range.
Memory Scan
Scan proceeds through those memory
channels in a band or in a bank that contain
data and have not been locked out. This
function operates in the memory mode only.
CALL / VFO Scan
Alternate scanning between the call channel
and the VFO.
CALL / Memory Scan
Alternate scanning between the call channel
and the memory channel that was last used.
V/M/C (VFO/Memory/Call) Scan
Scans the VFO, the memory channel last used,
and the call channel. |
Auto Memory Scan
Scans the band scan range. Any frequency
that the transceiver stops on for more than one
second is memorized in an empty channel in
bank 5.
Hold/Resume Programming
Y
Two types of scan hold and resume have been
provided in this transceiver. Each band can be set
differently.
Time Operated Scan (TO)
Scan stops on a busy channel, remains there
approximately 5 seconds, and then continues to
scan even if the signal is still present.
Carrier Operated Scan (CO)
Scan stops on a busy channel and remains there
until the signal drops out. The radio waits two
seconds before scan resumes to prevent moving
on before either you, or the next station transmits.
The radio is delivered from the factory in the Time
Operated Scan mode. To switch between modes,
use this procedure.
Press the F key for longer than one second. The
F indicator will flash.
While the indicator is flashing, press the VFO key.

REPEATER OPERATION
|
|
Transmitter Offset
Repeaters use a separate receive and transmit
frequency. The receive frequency may be above
or below the transmit frequency. The configuration
of most repeaters falls into one of the categories
listed below:
144 MHz 220 MHz 440 MHz
+ +600 kHz + 1.6 MHz +5 MHz
- - 600 «Hz - 1.6 MHz -5 MHz
430 MHz 1200 MHz
1200 M
(E type only) 00 MHZ (E type only)
+ + 1.6 MHz +12 MHz +35 MHz
_ - 1.6 MHz -12 MHz -6 MHz
- — — 7.6 MHz - 20 MHz
Selecting the Offset Direction
To manually select the transmitter offset direction,
press the SHIFT key. The transceiver advances
from one direction to the next, “+” to “—” or
"—"t0o"——”, tono offset (simplex).
46
Automatic Offset
U.S.A./Canada version
The transceiver has been programmed to the
ARRL (American Radio Relay League) standard
band plan for transmitter offset direction.
The chart illustrates this programming. This may
be manually overwritten by using the SHIFT key,
if required.

To cancel automatic offset
1) Turn the POWER switch off.
Press the VEO and REV keys, and press the
POWER switch ON.
This toggles the Automatic Offset mode on or off.
Reverse Function
Some repeaters use a “Reverse Pair”, i.e. the
transmit and receive frequencies are the reverse
of other repeaters.
For example, repeater A receives at 146.0 MHz,
the “Input” (your transmit frequency). Its “Output”
is at 146.6 MHz (your receive frequency). In some
other geographic areas, Repeater B might use
146.0 MHz for a transmit frequency and 146.6
MHz for a receive frequency.
It would be inconvenient to reprogram the
transceiver each time to use these repeaters.
The REV key allows easy reversal of the transmit
and receive frequencies.
Press the REV key to use this function. The R
indicator comes on to indicate you have selected
a reverse pair.

To return to normal, press the REV key again.
The R indicator goes off.
This function is also useful to check the input
frequency of a repeater, to determine if you and
your contact are within simplex communications
range. If you are able to hear each other directly,
without need of the repeater, you may switch to
another open frequency for simplex
communications. This is courteous to the other
repeater users, and reduces crowding on the
repeater. It is also practical, since the repeater
may remain available for others to use.

Tone Operation
48
Some repeaters require a control signal to be
activated. Several different methods are currently
used.
In the United States, subaudibie tones are the
usual method of control. This transceiver will
generate standard subaudible tones.
Europe version only
In Europe and the United Kingdom, a 1750 Hz
tone is used to access the repeater. Press and
hold the 1750 key to transmit the access tone.
You need not press the PTT switch. (MC-45E)
Selecting Tone Frequencies |
A tone frequency can be independently selected
for each band.
Press the F key for longer than one second.
The F indicator will flash.
Press the TONE key. The current tone
frequency will show in the display.

Autopatch Operations
(U.S.A./ Canada version only)
oe
Some repeaters offer a service known as
autopatch. This allows you to connect into the
local commercial telephone system, dial a
telephone number from your transceiver, and
carry out a telephone conversation, similar to a
car telephone. This requires using a DTMF (Dual
Tone Multi-Frequency) pad.
The DTMF microphone (MC-45DM/DME) provides
the usual numeric, * and # keys found on home
telephones, and also provides the four additional,
A, B, C and D keys. These are sometimes used
in a repeater system for control functions. The
repeater control operator can inform you of dialing
codes and operating procedures used on the
system.
To activate the keypad:
Press and hold the PTT switch.
Press the numeric keys as you would dial your
home telephone...
The transceiver will remain keyed for
approximately two seconds after you press each
number, so you can release the PTT switch after
the first digit is dialed without exiting transmit.
Note
Some repeaters will require the use of a special key sequence to |
activate the autopatch function. You should check with your |
contral operator for this sequence.
DTMF (dialer) Memory

General Information
Your transceiver has been factory aligned and tested to
specification before shipment, Under normal circumsiances
the transceiver will operate in accordance with these operating
instructions. The adjustable trimmers and coils in your
transceiver have been adjusted at the factory and should onlv
be veadiusted by a qualified technician with proper test
equipment, Atlempling service or alignment without factory
authorization can degrade performance, and void the
