Programming the Key Assignments

The key is a user-programmable key that may be set up for a pair of functions you use particularly frequently.

The default key functions, as set up at the factory, have been assigned to the ANL feature (press key) and to the “Large Font” feature (press and hold key) at the fac- tory. These may be changed by the user, if you wish to utilize another function or functions.

To program the function assigned to a key:

rPress the key, then press the key to activate the Menu (“SET”) mode.

rRotate the DIAL selector knob to select Menu Item

“5. Key Set,” then press the key.

rRotate the DIAL selector knob to select Sub Menu Item “4. USER 1” (for the “press key” function) or “5 USER 2” (for the “press and hold key” function),

then press the key.

rPress the key again to enable adjustment of this Menu Item.

rRotate the DIAL selector knob to select the function you wish to assign to the button you selected in the previous step. The available choices are:

ANL: Activates the Automatic Noise Limiter in the AM mode.

TX Power: Selects the FM transmit power output level on the 2-m Amateur band.

ARTS: Instantly recalls the “ARTS” Menu Item.

XFER: Exchanges the display locations between the “frequency” and “Alpha-numeric Tag” modes while operate on the “Memory,” “Book Memory,” and “WX” modes. This also may be used to exchange the display location between the “frequency” and “Course Indicator and TO/FROM flag” options while operating on the “NAV” band.

SPEC Start: Activates the Spectrum Scope Monitor feature.

Large Font: Switches the frequency display between the “Large Character” and “Small Char- acter” modes.

rWhen you have made your selection, press the key to save the new setting, then press the PTT key

repetitively until the radio exits to normal operation.
