WHAT IS A MENU?

Many functions on this transceiver are selected or
configured via a software-controlled Menu, rather than
through the physical controls of the transceiver. Once
familiar with the Menu system, you will appreciate
the versatility it offers. You can customize the various
timings, settings, and programming functions on this
transceiver to meet your needs without using many
controls and switches.

MENU A/ MENU B

This transceiver has 2 menus: Menu A and Menu B.
These menus contain identical functions and can be
configured independently. The transceiver, therefore,
allows you to switch between 2 different environments
quickly and easily. For example, you can configure
Menu A for DXing and contesting while Menu B is
for relaxed local ragchewing. By switching from
Menu A to Menu B, you can instantly change the
Menu configuration and key assignment to suit your
current operating style. Or, 2 operators may share
a single transceiver by dedicating one Menu to each
operator. Both operators can always enjoy their own
configuration.
