CHANGING BEEP VOLUME

The transceiver beeps each time you press a front panel button or Mic key, or when it receives appropriate APRS or DX cluster data. You can change the beep volume or turn it off.

Access Menu 1–2–1 (BEEP VOLUME) and select the volume from levels 1 to 7 and OFF. The default is level 5.

SWITCHING FM/AM MODE

This transceiver is also capable of receiving (not transmitting) in AM on band A. The default mode on the 118 MHz band is AM while the default on the 144, 220, 300, or 440 MHz band is FM. After recalling the desired band on band A, access Menu 1–3–4 (FM/AM MODE) and switch between FM and AM.

KEY BEEP ON/ OFF

If you are distracted by beeps generated when pressing a front panel button or Mic key, switch OFF the Key Beep. The transceiver will beep only when it receives appropriate APRS or DX cluster data.

Access Menu 1–2–2 (KEY BEEP) and select “OFF”.

•The 1 MHz decimal becomes elongated when AM is selected.

Note: You cannot switch between FM and AM to receive on band B.

ADVANCED INTERCEPT POINT (AIP)

The VHF band is often crowded in urban areas. AIP

helps eliminate interference and reduce audio distortion 14 caused by intermodulation. You may use this function when operating on the VHF band. Access Menu 1–3–5 (VHF AIP) and select “ON”.

Note: After selecting OFF, you will still hear TOT and APO alarms.

Note:

◆ This transceiver does not allow you to use the AIP on the UHF band. ◆ Switching ON the AIP also affects the VHF sub-band on band B.
