The truth is that once you practice this procedure on an empty channel, you’ll find it follows very predictable steps from operation to operation
OK, you asked for it

Whether this is to be included in the Scan List
You need to know these things to enter a channel:
Whether this is a Narrow or Wide Band FM channel
A name for this channel up to 10 characters long
The TX & RX frequencies and subaudable tone
Is this channel already programmed in this radio?

Let’s first dial up the radio frequency
Move the EDIT switch to the LEFT this time
We’ll call this the EDIT CHannel selection
We’ll call this the EDIT CHannel selection
The DISPlay switch now shows what it is that you’re changing - The name display, transmit frequency, receive frequency, etc

We’ll start with the DISPlay switch in the <center>
We learned that the DISPlay switch in the (RX) position shows the Receive frequency
It’s the same with programming: You’re programming whatever the DISPlay is set to show at the time

Being as the DISPlay now shows the RX display, we’ll begin programming the Receive frequency
The NEXT switch chooses the digit to be edited
The SELECT switch makes the number change

8. Advanced User Training
After each digit is SELECTed, go to the NEXT one and keep going until the whole frequency is entered
Then, go NEXT even further over to the right, and enter the CTCSS tone as needed.
That’s it for the Receive frequency

9. Advanced User Training
Now that we have an RX frequency, we’ll do the exact same thing for the Transmit side of the formula
Change the DISPlay switch to the right, to the TX setting
Duplicate the frequency and tone which was put into the RX side (unless the circumstance directs otherwise)

This step changes items seen in the ID screen, so we need to switch the DISPlay to ID to make these changes
Again, use the NEXT switch to choose which space to edit, and then SELECT the letter, numeral, symbol needed

The next choice is for Wide or Narrow FM channel width
For the time being, we’ll assume all field entries will be in Wide Band format, as used by our other radios at present
Select whether this channel is to be put on the Scan List for later use in channel scanning

Mission-Ready Check List
w SC
Take a moment to go through this informal check-list just once more, to ensure that the equipment is ready for action…..
Verify that you left :
SCAN Switch = Normal
(Not Scanning At This Time)
Guard1/Guard2 Switch = G2
or as directed by local command
POWER = HI
Channel = Air to Ground
or as directed by your local command
EDIT Switch = <Centered>
DISPlay Switch = ID
