           EXTRA FUNCTIONS FOR THE STANDARD C520/528
           -----------------------------------------

1). ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS WHILST IN "SET MODE" 

    While holding the [FUNC] button press the [0/SET SB] button to enter
    set mode. (See Section 15 in manual).
    Whilst still in set mode the following btttons can be pressed, together
    with the [FUNC] button, to provide the these functions

BUTTON          FUNCTION
------          --------

[3/PO]          Changes band in use in extended coverage mode (UHF Only)
                i.e. 300 MHz / 400 MHz / 800 MHz / 900 MHz

[4/FL DM]       Displays a "." between 2nd & 3rd Digit. What else it does
                is a mystery, if anyone knows please let me know.

[6/STEP]        Toggles the tunning steps on the knob on top whilst [FUNC]
                is depressed, between 1MHz and 0.1 MHz.

[8/RPT]         Enables / Disables Cross band talk through mode. When Enabled
                a "." appears to the top right of the memory number position.

[9/REV]         Toggles UP and DOWN buttons between the normal steps and
                10 MHz steps.

[DWN/* PS]      Enter cloning mode. Transfers all memory data between
                2 x  C520/528`s. Tune both radios to the same frequency on one
                of the bands. Enter cloning mode on both radios. Press PTT on 
                hhe radio that contains the memory data, A series of DTMF
                tone will be heard for approx 2 minutes. The receiving radio`s
                memories will now be identical to the transmitting radio.


2). EXTRA MEMORY FUNCTIONS, 40 MEMORY CHANNELS or SEPARATE TX/RX FREQ`S

    Although the standard manual states that 20 memories are available 
    split between VHF and UHF bands, in fact there are 2 memory channels
    for each memory number on the VHF and UHF bands. These can be used in 
    2 ways. One way is to double the number of simplex channels availible,
    another is to provide programable RX and TX frequencies for each memory
    number.

    a)  PROGRAMMING SEPARATE RX & TX FREQUENCIES IN ONE MEMORY LOCATION

        1. In VFO mode select your RX frequency
        2. Press [FUNC] and [V/M ENT] buttons together
        3. Press the memory number to be programmed
        4. Press [V/M ENT] button to return to VFO mode
        5. Select your TX frequency.
        6. Press [V/M ENT] and [FUNC] buttons together
        7. Press [FUNC] button together with the memory number to program

        "+-" Will appear in the repeater shift display to indicate that the
        memory channel is now in split frequency mode. Once a memory location
        has been put into split frequency mode it cannot be changed back to a 
        simplex memory unless it is programmed as an extra channel (see below)
        or a RESET is carried out. 
        Pressing [FUNC] and [9/REV] will cause the RX and TX frequencies to be
        swapped.

     b) PROGRAMMING EXTRA MEMORY CHANNELS, EXTENDS TO 40 MEMORIES.

        Program the first 10 memories on each band as per the manual. To
        program the additional 10 memories on each band follow the instructions
        below.

        1. In VFO mode select the frequency required.
        2. Press [FUNC] and [V/M ENT] buttons together.  _
        3. Press [FUNC] and [A/CL] Buttons together. (an M will be displayed)
        4. Press the memory number to be programmed

        To recall these extra memories. Either use the rotary tunning control
        in memory mode, which will now cycle through all programmed memories.
        Or enter memory mode and press [FUNC] and [A/CL] together and the bar
        will appear above "M" indicator as when it was programmed, pressing 
        buttons 0 to 9 will then recall the extended channels.
        The extended memory channels can have repeater shifts and CTCSS tones
        programmed in to them in the normal way BUT the value of the repeater
        ofset and the frequency of the CTCSS tone will be the same for both of
        the channels stored in one memory location. i.e memory 1 and -1 will
        both have the same repeater ofset but if the ofset is not activated on
        channel -1 then it can be used as a simplex channel.




All the functions for the standard C528 are as below. If anyone out there has 
any that aren't listed, please mail to me!

Subject: Standard HT 528 mods (999MHz)
Lines: 27

This simple key-in sequence will enable the Standard 528 twin band HT
to receive out of band signals up 999MHz.
1) enter UHF side (UHF is main)
2) enter VFO mode
3) push F + L (function key + light key)
4) then F + 0 (function key + zero key)
5) next F + code (funtion key + code key)
6) then F + L (function key + light key (again))
7) next F + 3 (function key + three key)
8) then PTT   (push to talk button)

Now your in!  To change bands you have to press F + 0 followed by F + 3
,  this is the toggle function.  Each time you enter the F + 0 and F + 3
the receiver will jump bands.  To get back to 440 (where you started from)
keep using the toggle sequence.
If you did something wrong and the HT losses its mind DON'T PANIC!  Just
push the microproc. reset button.  I have done this keyboard entery mod to
my HT and it works.  The sensitivity isn't great, but you can pick up any-
thing that has a strong signal.
This information was obtained from the local Standard representitive in
Chicago.  I'm sure there are other things This radio can do that I am
not aware of, but when I find out I will post it here just for the heck of it.
P.S. If I made a mistake in the key sequence list above I will post any
corrections by the end of this week 10/30/92.
good luck!

Chris...

I too have a Standard C528 (as do quite a few of the other local amateurs 
here), and I'm very happy with it. In addition to the sequence you gave,
there is also a (longer) sequence which enables wide-band transmit (how
wide I don't know as I've no need to use it). There are also quite a few
additional functions available off the keyboard from those documented.
Appended below this is a table (which I keep as an Excel spreadsheet),
listing the various functions in rather abbreviated form - I'd be very
interested in learning about any others.

Note the extra memory channels - there are actually 20 on each band, the
upper 10 are accessed as shown below (accesed with a F+A prefix key,
and displayed with a bar over the number). You can't use them in band
scanning, but apart from that they function as normal memories.

Here is a little mods list.  I find the 40ch mem a bit messy so
I don't use it and you can get the phone tones by pressing
the ptt and a number on the pad.
Hope this is of help to you

Is the Standard C528 in use out there in the states, and does anyone have any 
other mods for the set barring these: 
 
                     Standard C520/C528 Modifications 
                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
This file is a compendium from to others being bandied about the place. It 
is hoped this will be the better of them, being the easiest to follow! 
 
o To open up the rx only up on the unit on VHF: 
   VHF F+0 F+D 
 
o To add 320-400MHz, 400-480MHz, 820-900MHz, 900-980MHz:

Set mode key assignments: 
The set mode allows a number of user parameters to be customised according 
to individual taste. Set mode is initiated by pressing F+0. The following 
are entered after going into set mode: 
 
  0    Turns off the beep tones on each keypress 
  F+0  Sets band edge limits, i.e. 0079=100-179, 400-479. 3060=130-160

           EXTRA FUNCTIONS FOR THE STANDARD C520/528
           -----------------------------------------

1). ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS WHILST IN "SET MODE" 

    While holding the [FUNC] button press the [0/SET SB] button to enter
    set mode. (See Section 15 in manual).
    Whilst still in set mode the following btttons can be pressed, together
    with the [FUNC] button, to provide the these functions

BUTTON          FUNCTION
------          --------

[3/PO]          Changes band in use in extended coverage mode (UHF Only)
                i.e. 300 MHz / 400 MHz / 800 MHz / 900 MHz

[4/FL DM]       Displays a "." between 2nd & 3rd Digit. What else it does
                is a mystery, if anyone knows please let me know.

[6/STEP]        Toggles the tunning steps on the knob on top whilst [FUNC]
                is depressed, between 1MHz and 0.1 MHz.

[8/RPT]         Enables / Disables Cross band talk through mode. When Enabled
                a "." appears to the top right of the memory number position.

[9/REV]         Toggles UP and DOWN buttons between the normal steps and
                10 MHz steps.

[DWN/* PS]      Enter cloning mode. Transfers all memory data between
                2 x  C520/528`s. Tune both radios to the same frequency on one
                of the bands. Enter cloning mode on both radios. Press PTT on 
                hhe radio that contains the memory data, A series of DTMF
                tone will be heard for approx 2 minutes. The receiving radio`s
                memories will now be identical to the transmitting radio.


2). EXTRA MEMORY FUNCTIONS, 40 MEMORY CHANNELS or SEPARATE TX/RX FREQ`S

    Although the standard manual states that 20 memories are available 
    split between VHF and UHF bands, in fact there are 2 memory channels
    for each memory number on the VHF and UHF bands. These can be used in 
    2 ways. One way is to double the number of simplex channels availible,
    another is to provide programable RX and TX frequencies for each memory
    number.

    a)  PROGRAMMING SEPARATE RX & TX FREQUENCIES IN ONE MEMORY LOCATION

        1. In VFO mode select your RX frequency
        2. Press [FUNC] and [V/M ENT] buttons together
        3. Press the memory number to be programmed
        4. Press [V/M ENT] button to return to VFO mode
        5. Select your TX frequency.
        6. Press [V/M ENT] and [FUNC] buttons together
        7. Press [FUNC] button together with the memory number to program

        "+-" Will appear in the repeater shift display to indicate that the
        memory channel is now in split frequency mode. Once a memory location
        has been put into split frequency mode it cannot be changed back to a 
        simplex memory unless it is programmed as an extra channel (see below)
        or a RESET is carried out. 
        Pressing [FUNC] and [9/REV] will cause the RX and TX frequencies to be
        swapped.

     b) PROGRAMMING EXTRA MEMORY CHANNELS, EXTENDS TO 40 MEMORIES.

        Program the first 10 memories on each band as per the manual. To
        program the additional 10 memories on each band follow the instructions
        below.

        1. In VFO mode select the frequency required.
        2. Press [FUNC] and [V/M ENT] buttons together.  _
        3. Press [FUNC] and [A/CL] Buttons together. (an M will be displayed)
        4. Press the memory number to be programmed

        To recall these extra memories. Either use the rotary tunning control
        in memory mode, which will now cycle through all programmed memories.
        Or enter memory mode and press [FUNC] and [A/CL] together and the bar
        will appear above "M" indicator as when it was programmed, pressing 
        buttons 0 to 9 will then recall the extended channels.
        The extended memory channels can have repeater shifts and CTCSS tones
        programmed in to them in the normal way BUT the value of the repeater
        ofset and the frequency of the CTCSS tone will be the same for both of
        the channels stored in one memory location. i.e memory 1 and -1 will
        both have the same repeater ofset but if the ofset is not activated on
        channel -1 then it can be used as a simplex channel.
