Hi Press the MENU button, rotate the SUB-TUNE knob to select Menu #12, That is "TONE-FRQ". Then rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob to set the right PL. Then press the MENU again to exit. To activate PL just select FM-mode and press the grey TONE knob (3). There is a sign ENC visible. You can check that the PL is correct by pressing the MENU again. IF not, just rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob. If that doesn't work out, maybe the memory backup battery has run out of juice. Check also the position of the battery backup switch. 73' -Jari oh3uw _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
