Page 113 highlights

REDUCING THE DEFLECTIONS OF THE S-Meter FOR USE IN FM-MODE You can configure the sensitivity of the S-meter to be used in FM mode by selecting either "High", allowing the S-meter to function in the same manner as that for past HF transceivers, or "Low", which reduces the S-meter sensitivity by an expansion of the dynamic range. Selecting "Low" to reduce the S-meter sensitivity enables the deflection of the S-meter to be as the same deflection as the S-meter used in other modes. 1 Select Group No. 0, "Basic Configurations", from the Menu screen. 2 Access Menu 08, "FM Mode S-meter Sensitivity". 3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter box.
