  1. The momentary switches are used for a variety of purposes described below:
    SCAN Press upper switch to scan frequencies in an upward direction; press lower switch to scan frequencies in decreasing order. 100K, 10K, 1K, 100Hz (scanning increments) Press the appropriate upper momentary switch to select the scanning increment (i.e., 100,000 Hz, 10,000 Hz, 1,000 Hz, or 100 Hz).

    To change the frequency displayed, press the upper switch to increase the displayed number or lower switch to decrease the displayed number. Use the switches in this manner when selecting a specific frequency, saving a frequency in memory, or setting frequencies for split frequency operation. 
    CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5 (channel selection) When saving a frequency in memory, press the upper switch that corresponds to the channel number that you want to assign to that frequency.
  1. MANUAL is used before starting or restarting several procedures. If you are scanning frequencies, scanning will stop when you press this button. Press MANUAL before directly entering a frequency, before entering a new upper or lower frequency range limit, and before you begin the procedure for storing frequencies in memory or setting frequencies for split operation.
  2. MEMORY scans the frequencies that you have saved in memory. If SQ is turned down (counterclockwise), MEMORY scans to the next channel each time the button is pressed. If SQ is turned up (clockwise), channels are scanned automatically when the MEMORY button is pressed once.
  3. CANCEL clears a frequency that has been assigned to a channel and saved in memory. Use the MEMORY button to display the frequency and press CANCEL.
  4. ENTER is used when you are changing the frequency range or saving frequencies in memory. Press ENTER when you want the transceiver to accept the frequency displayed as the one you want to use. For example, if you are changing the frequency range, press ENTER once after you enter the upper frequency and again after entering the lower frequency. ENTER is used in the same way when saving your favorite frequencies in memory.
  5. SCAN PRG is used when you want to change the frequency range of the transceiver. Press this button before entering the new upper and lower range limits.
  6. Status LEDs provide the following information: 
    RX lights whenever the AF GAIN is on and the microphone's PTT button is released.
    TX lights when you are transmitting (i.e., pressing the PTT button on the microphone).
    ST BY is not currently implemented. This LED will be used when additional accessories are available. SPLIT lights when you are using split frequency operation (the SPLIT button is pressed in).
  7. Channel LEDs (CH 1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5) provide information about frequencies saved in memory. An LED flashes once when you save a frequency in memory by pressing one of the channel switches. When you scan memory automatically, each LED lights briefly as the channel's frequency is scanned. A channel's LED also lights when manually scanning memory and when that channel's frequency is in use.
  8.  SPLIT is pressed in when you want to use split frequency operation. Release the button (out position) when you want to resume normal operation.
  9. SPLIT PRG is used when setting the frequencies for split frequency operation. The button should be out when you enter the receive frequency. Press SPLIT PRG in before entering the difference (number of MHz) between the receive and transmit frequencies. This button should be out when actually using split frequency operation.
  10. + / - is used with split frequency operation. The button should be out when you are setting the receive and transmit frequencies. During actual operation, press the button in if the transmit frequency is higher than the receive frequency. The button should be out if the transmit frequency is lower than the receive frequency.
  11. OFF/AF GAIN is the on/off and volume control for the Ranger. Turn the control clockwise until you hear a click to turn on the transceiver. Continue to turn the control clockwise to increase the volume; turn it counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
  12. MODE SELECTOR is used to select one of the following operating modes: FM (F3) Frequency Modulation AM (A3) Amplitude Modulation USB (A3J) Upper Side Band LSB (A3J) Lower Side Band CW (Al) Continuous Wave
