The FT-530 offers a multitude of battery preserving features, a 10- memory, 15-digit DTMF (Dual-Tone, Multi-Fre- quency) autodialler; CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Controtled Squelch System) scanning and a wealth of selective calling/paging features to en- hance FM communication, The sculpted die-cast alloy rear case/heat sink and thick high-impact polycarbonate plastic front panel provide professional-grade ruggedness ideal for demanding applications. The display and trans- lucent keypad have selectable lighting modes. The display includes dual, 5-14 digit frequency re- adouts and indicators for most programmable functions, plus relative signal strength and power output on separate bargraph meters. A DC supply jjack is provided on the top panel for powering the transceiver from an external DC source, and also charge a 7.2-V Ni-Cd battery pack connected to the transceiver. The easily accessible lithium backup battery is now replacable without having to open the case. VOX circuitry with adjustable gain/delay is included for hands-free transmit/re- ceive control with the optional YH-2 headset. ‘Two independent VFOs and 41 freely tunable memories per band are completely programmable from the 20-key keypad; for scanning, inde- pendent tx/rx frequencies or programmable off- sets, subband limits for band scanning, selectable scan skip for busy channels, selectable scan re- sume modes, priority monitoring and dual instant- recall CALL channels. In addition, dual receive on different bands, or even on two frequencies in the same band, is possible using main and sub-band receiver VFOs. Seven standard channel step sizes can be se- lected; and 1-MHz steps are always available. Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS) can be enabled to set standard repeater shifts automatically when tuned to a standard repeater subband. A 1750-Hz Introduction
