3 MENU SETUP
MENU DESCRIPTION
Many functions on this transceiver are selected or
configured via software-controlled menus instead of
physical controls on the transceiver. Once familiar
with the Menu system, you will appreciate the
versatility it offers. No longer is the number and
complexity of features restricted by the physical size
of transceiver.
The Menus are identified as Menu A and Menu B.
Menu A is used to access functions that are frequently
changed while Menu B is used for less frequently
changed functions.
MENU ACCESS
Anytime that you wish to change a function that is
controlled by Menu Setup, use the following
procedure:
1 Press [F] (2 s) or microphone [PF] to enter Menu
Setup.
2 Select Menu A or Menu B by pressing [A/B] or
microphone [VFO].
• The last menu number used and the current
menu selection appear.
3 Select the desired menu number by turning the
Alternate Tuning control.
4 Select the desired menu selection by pressing
[F.LOCK], or [LOW], or microphone [UP] or
[OWN].
• When selecting from a group of numeric menu
selections, [F.LOCK] or microphone [UP]
selects in ascending order, and [LOV\^ or
microphone [DWN] selects in descending
order.
5 After selecting the desired menu selection, press
[F], or [CLR], or microphone [PF] to exit Menu
Setup.
Note:
