3 BASIC OPERATION ■ Selecting output power The transceiver has 3 output power levels to suit your operating requirements. Low output powers during short-distance communications may reduce the possibility of interference to other stations and will reduce current consumption. ➥ Push [LOW•PRIO] several times to select the output power. S/RF INDICATOR POWER OUTPUT VHF/UHF Taiwan High: 50 W/50 W 25 W Mid: 15 W*/15 W* 15 W* Low: 5 W*/5 W* 5 W* • The output power can be changed while transmitting. *approx. The microphone can also be used to select output power. ➥ Push [HIGH 4(DTCS)] for high output power; HIGH [MID 5(DTCSS)] for middle output power; and 4 [LOW 6(DTMF)] for low output power. • The output power can be changed via the microphone MID during receive only. 5 LOW 6 ■ Operating mode selection Operating modes are determined by the modulation of the radio signals. The transceiver has total 5 operating modes (FM, FM-N, AM, AM-N and DV* modes). The mode selection is stored independently for each band and memory channel. Typically, AM mode is used for the air band (118-136.995 MHz), and receive is only available. q Push [F• ] to display the function guide. wPush [MODE](V/MHz•SCAN) (Left band's) several times to select the desired operating mode from FM, FM-N, AM, AM-N and DV* in main band. *Available only when the optional UT-123 is installed. [MODE] Operating mode in main band is selectable. 21
