CHIPSWITCH FEATURES  OVERVIEW

  • 30 MEMORY CHANNELS WITH TEMPORARY CHANNEL  LOCKOUT AND REPEATER OFFSETS
    • The original HR2510 / HR2600 / LINCOLN has  basically one memory available to it in the sense that it remembers the  frequency you were last on during a power interruption. The CHIPSWITCH supplies you with three groups of MEMORY BANDS. There are now ten (10) user programmable  frequency channels available for each MEMORY BAND. You can  elect to have repeater offsets to any of the stored memory channels. You are  also provided with the ability to lockout any memory channel(s) temporarily during SCAN/SEEK functions.
       
  • EXTENDED FREQUENCY COVERAGE
    • Adding the CHIPSWITCH  IC  will allow the radio to operate contiguously from 11 through 10 meters without  any further modifications.
       
    • With additional modifications to the PLL PCB,  the CHIPSWITCH allows full contiguous coverage from 24.800 to 29.999 MHz. (12 through 10 Meters).  Modifying these  radios for use in the 12 Meter range can be done. Although with the Chipswitch, these radios  could be operable to 15 Meters, some spurs near 15 Meters cannot be adjusted  out, therefore a  password has been added to the Chipswitch program to disallow  access beyond 12 Meters at this time.
       
  • PROGRAMMABLE SCAN/SEEK FUNCTION
    • The original HR2510/HR2600/LINCOLN allows you  to scan on an arbitrary 'band basis." This new feature  allows you to select a range of frequencies for SCAN and SEEK while in band 0, or SCAN/SEEK by memory  channels in band 1, 2 and 3. The SCAN feature allows you to set  the 'hold-time' (the amount of time the radio waits to resume its scan function  after that particular frequency quiets down). The SEEK feature  is identical to the SCAN except for when the radio is scanning  and detects activity on a frequency, the radio will receive on that particular  frequency for a user-programmed length of time before it continues the scan. SCAN and SEEK are completely user programmable  for 5 or 10 kHz steps in band 0.
       
  • PROGRAMMABLE CHANNEL UP/DN  BUTTONS
    • This provides you with the ability to program the radio's channel up and channel down buttons to change channels/frequencies in any of five (5) different ways. (5  kHz, 10 kHz, Underlined digit, etc.
       
  • PROGRAMMABLE MICROPHONE CHANNEL UP/DN  BUTTONS
    • This provides you with the ability to program the microphone  channel up and down buttons to change channels/frequencies in any on of eight  (8) different ways.
       
  • SPLIT FREQUENCY OPERATION
    • When enabled, this allows you to transmit on one frequency, and  receive on another.
       
  • PROGRAMMABLE TRANSMITTER TIMEOUT
    • This feature provides the radio with a built-in QSO timer. When enabled, it triggers a programmable timer the  moment the radio starts transmitting. When the user-programmed length has been  achieved, the radio will stop transmitting. To continue transmitting, just  release and press the microphone PTT (Push To Talk) Button.
       
  • PROGRAMMABLE TRANSMIT FREQUENCY  RANGE
    • This provides you with the ability to program a range of  frequencies to operationally transmit on. In this mode of operation, you still  have the ability to receive frequencies out of the user-programmed range, but  can not transmit on them.
       
  • PRIORITY CHANNEL (Requires optional hardware)
    • Priority channel operations allow you to program any frequency  (i.e. home frequency, etc.) and have the HR2510/HR2600/LINCOLN check this frequency while you are on another, at a user-programmed rate. This  feature will not function properly without the optional PRIORITY CHANNEL BOARD.
       
  • MISCELLANEOUS
    • The 'SPAN UNDERLINE CURSOR' now has a 'phantom' 4th position (all 3 underline  bars) cursor. This enables you to go through the band in 100 kHz increments. This 'phantom' 4th position is indicated by 3 cursors.
       
    • The 'SPAN UNDERLINE CURSOR' position and the underlined digit can be moved by pressing both  microphone buttons at the same time. (Great for mobile operation)
       
    • The button repeat rate is now programmable.
       
    • The internal 'button beep' duration is now  programmable from 0 to 0.5 seconds.
       
    • The 'RPTR' button on the HR2600, when depressed, will transmit the CTCSS tone to open up a repeater station. Repeater offset  selection is required when programming memory frequencies.
       
    • The HR2510/HR2600/LINCOLN now has two function  modes:
       
  • OPERATE MODE
    • This mode is the radio's normal operation mode.
       
  • PROGRAM MODE
    • The front panel controls are used to program information  the radio will use during OPERATE MODE (i.e.  memory channel frequencies, split channel, scan functions, etc.)
