Use split mode and then change you channel B frequency with the CLAR knob and your Channel A frequency with the normal tuning wheel. Much easier way without having to switch memories and no need to use the TXW button. Chan A is you Rx and Chan B is your Tx with PL tones set.
Thanks for commenting… This technique would be great for satellites that the receive frequency stays put. And when you need to adjust transmitting frequency.
I acquired a savaged Hustler VHF, UHF, antenna. Surely that will be enough to receive satellites. I did some repairs and the electrical conductivity is now DC unbroken from antenna tip to connection. A cheap truck stop coaxial cable, and I look forward to receiving satellite radio signals. However, the antenna I salvaged is extremely long. It has a break, of sorts, between the upper antenna ⅓ and the bottom ⅔. It is still DC electrically connected. The antenna goes up ⅔ of the way. Then it makes a lateral 90° turn that goes out about 20 centimeters. The aluminum rod then makes a vertical 90° turn for about 2.5 centimeters. Another 90° lateral turn back to the main shaft path, stops right where the first turn was made and makes another 90° vertical. Then th le remaining, roughly, ⅓ of the antenna finishes. What I do not get is that this antenna is nowhere near ¼ wavelength, nor ¾ wavelength, above nor below the stranger break. To my limited knowledge, 2 meters is 48.85 centimeters for 2 meters for quarter wavelength and 16¼ for 70 centimeter for quarter wavelength.
