When a narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for the best listening performance. When an older wideband radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio volume for best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80 interference is possible from wideband radios transmitting on high power or on adjacent frequency.

The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed use of wideband and narrowband radios.

Using the DIN Kit

The UHF098 comes complete with a DIN kit for mounting in a vehicle dash board.

Installation

When installing your radio in your vehicle, check that during installation you do not damage any wiring or vehicle components that may be hidden around the mounting position.

Ensure the installation does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle and meets all regulatory and safety requirements for accessories fitted to your vehicle.

For optimum performance your radio needs to be installed correctly. If you are unsure about how to install your radio, we suggest you have your radio professionally installed by a UHF specialist or Auto electrician. When installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or air conditioners. Never press the PTT button before connecting the antenna to the radio.

Wiring Methods

There are two possible wiring configurations for connecting to the vehicles power supply.

A. Radio stays ON when the ignition is switched OFF

Connect the radio's negative (black) lead to the vehicle chassis, or directly to the battery's negative terminal.

Connect the radio's positive (red) lead via the 3 Amp fuse to the battery's positive terminal. Alternatively, the positive lead could be connected at the fuse box at a point that has DC Power continuously available (preferably the battery side of the ignition switch) via the 3 Amp fuse.

B. Radio turns OFF with the ignition switch

Connect the radio's negative (black) lead to the vehicle's chassis, or directly to the battery's negative terminal.

The radio's positive (red) lead should connect to an accessory point in the vehicle's fuse box via the 3 Amp fuse.

Antenna information

The antenna (not supplied) is of critical importance to maximize your output power and receiver sensitivity.

A poorly installed, inferior quality antenna, or one not designed for the correct frequency band, will give poor performance. You should only purchase an antenna designed for the 477MHz frequency band.

Antenna installation

1. If the antenna is fitted with an FME connector you will require a FME to PL259 adapter to fit the connector on the rear panel of the radio.
2. To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high quality antenna and mount it in a good location.

Never press the PTT before connecting the antenna to the radio.

Optional accessories

If required, you may install an external (8 ohm, minimum 5W power) speaker fitted with a 3.5mm plug (not supplied).

Operations

Power On/Off

Rotate the power switch in a clockwise direction to turn the unit on, adjust the volume to a comfortable level, rotate the Power Switch counter clockwise until it clicks to turn off the power. At power on, the current applied DC voltage is displayed numerically as shown below. Special over and under voltage detection circuitry protects the radio and warns of excessive voltage conditions by the LCD flashing the 7 backlight colours.

Duplex

General

Your radio has a Repeater Access function to allow use of local Repeater stations (if available in your area). Repeaters are shared radio system installed by interested parties (clubs, local business etc.) that pick transmissions on specific channels and re-transmit (or repeat) the received signal to another channel.

Channel 2 Channel 32 Repeater Station Channel 2 Channel 32

The Repeater Access function can be set (from channel 1 to 8 and 41 to 38) used by local repeater stations. When activated, your radio will receive the Repeater on its specific channel (all repeater outputs are on channel 1 to 8 and 41 to 48) but transmits to the repeater channel 31 through to 38 and 71 through to 78. (Factory default is set to On for all repeater channels).

e.g.

CH01 on Duplex mode will receive on CH01 but transmit on CH31

CH02 on Duplex mode will receive on CH02 but transmit on CH32.

If you transmit on CH01 duplex mode, you are actually transmitting on CH31.

The repeater station down converts your signal and retransmits on CH01.

Your transceiver allows you to pre-select Duplex operation individually on each channel.

CH and Number	Simplex mode Transmit/receiver Frequency (MHz)	Duplex Mode transmit Frequency(MHz)
1 476.425	477.175 CH31
2 476.450	477.200 CH32
3 476.475	477.225 CH33
4 476.500	477.250 CH34
5 476.525	477.275 CH35
6 476.550	477.300 CH36
7 476.575	477.325 CH37
8 476.600	477.350 CH38
41 476.4375	477.1875 CH71

47 476.5875	477.3375 CH77
48 476.6125	477.3625 CH78

For this example we are adopting CH01 as the repeater channel.

CTCSS and DCS setting

This feature allows you to receive signals only from callers who have selected the same CTCSS and DCS code.

DCS is similar to CTCSS. It provides 104 extra, digitally coded, squelch codes that follow after the 38 CTCSS codes. CTCSS 1 - 38, followed by DCS 1 - A4.

Scramble

Scramble enables private communications by scrambling the voice signal.

This prevents users without descrambler equipment or a compatible unit, from understanding the conversation.

Select desired channel. SCR appears when scramble is turned on in the menu.

You can select off, 1 to 5.

7 Multi True Colour Backlight

You can select from 7 different colours for the LCD backlight.

LCD Backlight Brightness

You can reduce the brightness of the LCD backlight to be more comfortable while driving at night.

You can select from 7 different levels for the LCD backlight brightness.

Duplex

Duplex mode can be turned on or off on the duplex channels.

When turned on, the transmit channel will be as shown in the table on pages 20-21.

Priority Channel Set

A priority channel can be stored in the menu.

The letter “PRI” will appear when the selected channel is set to Priority.

This channel will then be automatically monitored during the Priority Scan.

Note: You can only store one channel as your priority channel.

Scanning

The UHF098 has three types of scanning: Open scanning(OS) and Priority scanning(PS), Memory scanning(MS).

Scanning allows you to search for active channels programmed in the memory.

You can choose Scan type in menu mode.

To initiate scanning:

Press scan key and scanning starts. OS--SC icon appears during scanning.

Open Scan(OS) Mode

The Open Scan feature scans for activity on all CB channels in memory.

Once a channel is located, scanning will pause, this will allow the signal to be heard.

Priority Scan(PS) Mode

With Priority Scan, the Radio scans for activity, but in addition, it also inserts your Priority Channel into the scan sequence.

This means that your Priority Channel will be monitored regularly while scanning to ensure that no calls are missed. Any signal received on your Priority Channel will take precedence over any signals received on the other channels.

The priority channel will be checked after every 4th channel scanned.

Memory Scan(MS) Mode

The Memory Scan feature scans for activity on 5 memorised channels in memory.

Once a channel is located, scanning will pause, this will allow the signal to be heard.

M1 ->M2->M3->M4->M5

Scan Resume Time

The scan resume condition can be set as a pause(P5) or time scan(5/10/15).

When a signal disappears, scan resume after 5 sec. has passed regardless of the setting.

5/10/15: Scan is paused for 5,10 or 15 seconds when a signal is detected.

Scan will then resume after this time has elapsed.

Busy Channel Lock

If the channel is already in use, you can prevent the UHF CB radio from transmitting. This is particularly important when using CTCSS/DCS.

Key Beep

When the key beep is turned on, the radio beeps for each button press (excluding PTT up, down and INS buttons on the microphone). When these buttons are programmed to other functions, they will also make a beep sound each time they are pressed.

Roger Beep

This function emits a beep on the communication party to inform that the transmission is finished.

You can select 5 different roger beep tones in menu.

Melody call

You can select 5 different melody tones. This is the tone that is emitted when the PTT is pushed and you press “TW/MENU” button within 1/2 a second.

Current regulations require calling tones to be restricted to one transmission per minute.

If a second transmission is attempted within one minute, then an error tone will sound.

Squelch Tail

Squelch tail is the noise heard after the transmitting party releases PTT and is heard by the receiving party.

If Squelch Tail is turned ON, on both radios this squelch noise will be muted.

Programmable Key Function (P1, P2, P3)

With this feature, the three buttons on top of microphone are user programmable to a function from the list below. You can program in the menu.

You can change the each 3 keys as below

P1(default DN) to UP/SCAN/PRI/MONI/MR/TW.

P2(default INS) to PRI/SCAN/MONI/MR/TW.

P3(default UP) to DN/SCN/PRI/MON/MR/TW.

When the microphone buttons are programmed to another feature, they will also have the additional features for that button. For example: If the up button is set for SCAN, it will also have the MEM function when held for 2 seconds.
