For the [PF] button, the transceiver will announce different information depending on whether Voice 1 or Voice 2 is selected.

Voice 1:

•VFO or memory channel frequencies are announced beginning with the 10 MHz digit and continuing through to the 10 Hz digit. If the memory channel has no data stored, “open” is announced. For the MHz decimal point, “point” is announced. For the kHz decimal point, a short pause (200 ms) is made. A 200 ms pause also is made between the channel number and the frequency.

•Menu numbers and their settings are announced with a short pause (200 ms) between the menu number and the setting.

Note: If operating a button or a control changes the contents of the display while an announcement is in progress, the announcement is interrupted.

Voice 2:

•Peak readings for the S-meter are announced, for example, “S5” or “20dB”.
