own desired functions to these 3 keys.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 191 (MIC.
PF1) and/or Menu 192 (MIC. PF2) and/or Menu 193
(MIC. PF3).

FREQUENCY DIRECT ENTRY

If the desired operating frequency is far from the current
frequency, using the keypad is the quickest way to change
the frequency.
1 Press [A/B] to select band A or B, then press [VFO] or
[CALL].
2 Press [ENT].
• The Direct Frequency Entry display appears.
3 Press the keys ([0] ~ [9]) to enter your desired
frequency.
4 To set the entered frequency, press [ENT] or [VFO].
• Pressing [ENT] before entering all of the digits will set the
remaining digits to 0.
• Pressing [VFO] before entering all of the digits will leave
the remaining digits at their previous values.
• Entering all digits for a frequency will automatically set the
frequency without pressing [ENT] or [VFO].
• In step 3, after entering 1 ~ 3 digits, pressing [MHz] will
set the digits above the MHz value.
For example, when the displayed frequency is 432.250:
1 Press [ENT]
2 Press [4]
3 Press [MHz]

SWITCHING FM/AM MODE

This transceiver is also capable of receiving (not
transmitting) in AM on band B. The default mode on the
118 MHz band is AM while the default on the 144, 300, or
430/440 MHz band is FM.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 131.
2 Set the mode to AM, FM, or NFM.
Note: You cannot switch between FM and AM to receive on band A.

ADVANCED INTERCEPT POINT (AIP)

The VHF/UHF band is often crowded in urban areas. AIP
helps eliminate interference and reduce audio distortion
caused by inter modulation. You can use this function
only while operating on the VHF/UHF band.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 132 (VHF AIP)
and/or Menu 133 (UHF AIP).
2 Set the AIP to "On" or "Off".

BEAT SHIFT

Since the transceiver uses a microprocessor to control
various transceiver functions, the CPU clock oscillator's
harmonics or image may appear on some spots of the
reception frequencies. Select a Beat Shift setting from
Type 1 ~ Type 8, which does not cause interference. The
default is Type 1 (Off).
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 138.
2 Set the Beat Shift to "Type 1" ~ "Type 8".
