By using the monitor function, enabled from the key below the PTT, you can more
easily adjust your volume by adjusting it to the un-squelched static.
Making a call
Press and hold the PTT button on the side of the radio body to transmit. While transmitting,
speak approximately 3-5cm from the microphone. When you release the PTT your transceiver
will go back to receive mode.
Channel selection
There are two modes of operation: Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory (MR)
mode.
For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Frequency
(VFO) mode. However, Frequency (VFO) mode is very handy for experimentation out in the field.
Frequency (VFO) mode is also used for programming channels into memory. For details on how
to program your transceiver see Chapter 10, Programming.
Ultimately which mode you end up using will depend entirely on your use case.
