Note: You cannot transmit on Weather Channels 0 - 9 or Channel 15. The Channel Number in the LCD Panel will blink to indicate these channels are "receive-only". Dimming the LCD Display Backlight and the TX Indicator When the MC 1020 is turned on, the LCD Panel and LED will be brightest. Pressing the MEM and H/L buttons will change the brightness. The last setting will remain in memory. When you turn on the radio the next time, the display will be at this setting. Note that the LED is not turned Off by the DIM button. 12
