Kenwood TM-V708A instruction manual Blanking A Band Display, Automatic Band Change Abc

BLANKING A BAND DISPLAY

If you have no plans to use one of band A or B, end the frequency display on the unused band. This saves power consumption and makes it simpler to read the information presented.

Press the left [BAND SEL] (1 s) to blank band B, or the right [BAND SEL] (1 s) to blank band A.

To restore Dual-band mode, press the same [BAND SEL] (1 s).

Note: You cannot operate the blanked band nor use this band to receive or transmit.

•The original TX band is restored 2 seconds after the signal drops out.
