SEL Knob
This rotary switch is used for VFO frequency tuning,
memory channel selection, and receiver audio volume
level adjustment.
SEL/DIAL Key and Indicator
The SEL key switches the synthesizer steps of the SEL
knob between the fine tuning (same as DIAL knob step)
and coarse tuning (same as SEL knob step) modes.
When the “fine tuning” mode is selected, the SEL LED
glows orange.
Press and hold in this key for one second to enable the
“VOL” feature, which allows adjustment of the receiver
audio volume level (by adjusting the SEL knob). When
the “VOL” feature is engaged, the SEL LED glows
green.
To return to the synthesizer step-selection mode, just
press the SEL key.
