SET MODE
 Initial Set mode items
• Mode select
This item allows you to simplify operation by inhibiting any
unneeded operating modes. For example if you only use
the LSB and USB modes, use "MODE SELECTION" to
inhibit access to all other modes (CW, RTTY and AM),
therefore selecting LSB and USB is quick and easy.
The default is ON for all operating modes. To toggle an op-
erating mode ON or OFF, push [MODE] one or more times
until the desired mode is displayed. Then rotate the main
dial to set to ON or OFF.
• RF/SQL VR
The [RF/SQL] control can be set as:
• RF/squelch control
• Automatic
( acts as squelch in AM modes, as RF in SSB/CW/RTTY modes)
• Suelch control (p. 20)
The default is "rS" (RF/squelch).
• Beep
A beep sounds each time a key is pushed to confi rm it.
This function can be turned OFF for silent operation.
The default is "on" (ON).
• Beep level
This item adjusts the confi rmation beep level.
The default is 50.
• Band edge beep
A beep sounds when an operating frequency enters or
exits a transmit frequency range. This functions indepen-
dent of the confi rmation beep setting.
The default is "on" (ON).
