Thread: Handheld UHF selection criteria

I was able to select 12.5 MHz channel separation, then starting at the frequency for channel one (476.4250 MHz ) advance through all 80 channels naming them as I went along. There is an easier way. Get a programming cable with your purchase of the radio(s) and programme through the computer. The frequency list is on the web.
Have a read of this as well

I should add that as my radios already had the 40 channels, all I had to do was put the other 40 in between them.

G'day Don,

I share your view on the FDC units. I don't own one myself but have dealt with a few and they seem quite robust.

These units are pretty easy to program if the software is readily understandable, and I've seen some crap editions out there.

I do hope you meant 12.5KHz earlier as not even TV channels have a 12.5MHz separation typically.

Also be sure to set the transmission mode to Narrow FM otherwise all that good work to put all the 80 channels in the existing spectrum will be undone when the radio deviates over the neighbouring channels during transmission.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Cheers,
Iain

Thanks for the good info, I will find a way to buy these somehow!!
