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 430/440 MHz band is FM.
1Enter Menu mode and access Menu 102 (MODLAT) {page 20}.
2Set the mode to AM, FM, or NFM.
Note: You cannot switch between FM and AM to receive on band B.
Beat Shift
Since the transceiver uses a microprocessor to control various transceiver functions, the CPU clock oscillator’s harmonics or image may appear on some spots of the reception frequencies. In this case, we recommend you turn the Beat Shift function ON.
1Enter Menu mode and access Menu 108 (B.SHIFT) {page 20}.
2Set the Beat Shift to ON or OFF.
SPEAKER MUTE
While receiving or transmitting on the TX band, you may not want to hear audio received on the other band. Use this function to mute the speaker allocated to that band (not the TX band).
While receiving, press [F], [LOW] to switch the mute function ON or OFF.
• The icon appears on the display when the function is ON.
