BASIC OPERATION
■ Receive mode selection
Receive modes are determined by the physical properties of
the radio signals. The transceiver has 3 receive modes: FM,
AM and WFM modes. The mode selection is stored indepen-
dently in each band and memory channels.
Typically, AM mode is used for the air band (118–135.995
MHz) and WFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76–107.9
MHz).
When pushing [PTT], a beep tone sounds indicating the
mode is not FM mode. The transceiver cannot transmit in
AM or WFM mode.
