TX BAND AND CONTROL BAND

One thing that may confuse you on this transceiver is the
idea of the TX band and Control band. To avoid
confusion, please note the differences between the TX
band and the Control band, below.
TX Band
Press the left [BAND SEL] (band A) or the right [BAND
SEL] (band B) to select. On the display, "PTT" shows

or to control the transceiver.

which band (A or B) is currently selected as the Control
