BASIC OPERATION

■ Selecting the operating mode

Operating modes are determined by the modulation
of the transceiver signals. The transceiver's operating
modes are AM, FM, FM-N and DV.
➥ Push [MODE] one or more times to select the
operating mode.
• The AM mode can be used for only the AIR band (108.000
MHz to 136.995 MHz) and AM BC radio (0.520 MHz ~
1.710 MHz).
• When the GPS TX Mode is selected, "DV-G" or "DV-A"
appears instead of "DV." (p. 10-31)

■ Monitor function

Using this function, you can listen to weak signals with-
out disturbing the squelch setting, or having to manu-
ally open the squelch, even when using mute functions
such as tone squelch.
➥ Hold down [SQL] to monitor the operating frequen-
cy.
• The 1st segment of the S-meter blinks.
TIP: The [SQL] key can be set to 'sticky' operation in
the Function menu.
