MIC KEYPAD DIRECT ENTRY (MC-53DM ONLY)
The keypad on the MC-53DM allows you to make
various entries depending on which mode the
transceiver is in.
In VFO or Memory Recall mode, use the Mic keypad to
select a frequency {page 63} or memory channel number
{page 37}. In Tone or CTCSS freq. Select mode, use the
keypad to select a Tone frequency {page 30} or CTCSS

programmed as the ENTER key {page 62}.
To manually send a DTMF number, press and hold Mic
[PTT], then press the DTMF keys on the Mic keypad
{page 59} in sequence.
You can also use the Mic keypad to program a memory
channel name {pages 38 and 60}, Power-ON message
{page 71}, or other character strings. Each press of a
Mic key switches entry of characters as below. You can
always use Mic [A] as [aa

and [D] as [OK].
When programming call signs for the Sky Command 2
