MISCELLANEOUS SETTING

CHANNEL STEP SELECTION

Tuning steps are factory preset to default increments which are appropriate for the country to which this radio is exported. You may have a reason to use a different step size, however, and here is the procedure for changing the channel steps:

1.Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second to activate the Menu mode.

2.Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “F41 STEP”.

3.Press the key to enable selection of this Menu Item.

4.Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired step size:

5.00, 6.25. 8.33, 10.00, 12.50, 15.00, 20.00, 25.00, 50.00, 100.00, 200.00 kHz or AUTO.

5.Press the [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. Note: 1) AM BC band only selects 9 kHz or 10 kHz.

Note: 2) FM BC band only selects 50 kHz, 100 kHz, or 200 kHz.

Note: 3) Steps of 5 kHz, 6.25 kHz, 8.33kHz, and 9 kHz are not available above 470 MHz.

CHANGING THE OPERATING MODE

The FTM-10Rprovides for automatic mode changing when the radio is tuned to different operating frequencies. However, should an unusual operating situation arise in which you need to change between the available operating modes (FM, FM-Narrow, FM-Wide, and AM), here is the procedure for doing so:

1.Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second to activate the Menu mode.

2.Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “F29 RX M MOD.”

3.Press the key to enable selection of the operating mode. The current operating mode appears on the LCD.

4.Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired operating mode.

AUTO: Automatic mode setting per default values for the selected frequency range.

WIDE FM: Frequency Modulation for receiving an FM Broadcast Station.

FM: Frequency Modulation for receiving an Amateur Radio Station and most VHF/UHF Communication.

NARR FM: Frequency Modulation for receiving some Amateur Radio Stations and VHF/ UHF Communication.

AM: Amplitude Modulation for receiving a AM Radio Station and Air Band Com-

munication.

Press the [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and resume normal operation.
