KG-1000G plus VFO tuning

[LeoG]

So far I have been able to figure out a way to change frequencies to the VFO other than using the knob or up/down arrows which is painfully slow.  With the XS20G+ you just use the keypad on the mic to enter in whatever frequency you want.  So far the only way I can see to program frequencies is to use the CPS and program it with your computer.

Am I missing some trick?

No, it's not a trick.  According to page 40 of the user manual, after switching to VFO mode by pressing the 6/Mode button, then press the 2/Mhz button to direct-enter your frequency.

...and, i just confirmed this works with the KG-1000G+ in my office right next to me... I was going to try it on my Bathroom KG-1000G+, but that's all the way down the hall.

OK, I'll give that a shot.  Glad you didn't have to walk all that way Randy

 

And there it is.

Hard to believe after pressing those buttons randomly that it never showed itself.  So there is a trick.

[LeoG]

Confirmed, it works.  Thanks.

AMAZING!!!! What a very small amount of literacy does.   Manuals come with radios for a reason.  They are also available on the internet webby thingy.

I looked.  Apparently I scanned over it.  I looked on page 39 and didn't find what I needed.

You pronounce it your way, I'll pronounce it mine.

Oh, come on, show the man a little sympathy. What he's suffering from is a very common disease. Many years of not using the proper coax can fester strong emotional and cognitive disorders.

Found another "trick".  Didn't find this in the manual even though I'm sure it's in there.  Figured it out before I could find it.  I was programming a DCS inverted tone when I noticed it wasn't like the KG XS20G+ again.  With that radio you just cycle through them.  It goes normal tones and then inverted tones.  with the 1000+ it just shows you the normal tones and when you get to the end just starts over, never showing you the inverted tones.  I know I can program it in the CPS so I did that.  And when I cycled through the inverted tones it stayed there never showing the normal tones.

So played with the keyboard and the "#" swaps between normal and inverted.

One of the best manuals is the one that comes with Midland radios. 

Here is an example of just how up to date an informative Midland's manuals are.

No mention of inverted codes.  And all that needs to be done in a CPS, no chance of doing it through the radio, right?

If you are replying to my post, you didn't read the pertinent part of the manual I posted. Look at the bottom for the IMPORTANT message.

I’m sorry I cannot give you the trophy and the laughing emoji both!
