Selecting output power
The transceiver has 3 output power levels to suit your operat-
ing requirements. Low output powers during short-distance
communications may reduce the possibility of interference to
other stations and will reduce current consumption.
Push
[LOW]
several times to select the output power.
•
“LOW” appears when low output power; “MID” appears when
middle output power; no indication appears when high output
power is selected.
• The output power can be changed while transmitting.

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 only receive is available.
q
Select the desired frequency band in the VFO mode, or the
desired memory channel.
w
Push and hold
[MODE]
(BAND) for 1 sec., then rotate
[DIAL]
to select the desired operating mode between FM,
FMN, AM, NAM and DV.
•
Push
[MODE]
(BAND) again to return to the frequency indica-
tion.
