BC RADIO OPERATION

■ Basic operation

D Description

You can listen to AM or FM radio broadcast (BC).
When the transceiver is set to amateur frequencies on
the MAIN band and SUB band, you can still listen to the
AM or FM radio on the pop up window.
Up to 50 BC Radio memory channels can be pro-
grammed into each bank for easy memory manage-
ment.
You can standby listening to the BC Radio. Also, the
transceiver can be used as just AM or FM Radio. In this
case, the other modes are in a sleep state.
TIP: The BC radio memory channel contents, de-
scribed in this manual, may differ from your trans-
ceiver's preprogrammed memory.
NOTE: This transceiver does not have a built-in bar an-
tenna for AM broadcast band reception. If you have dif-
ficulties receiving depending on your environment, we
recommend that you try a different location, or use an
antenna which better suits the AM broadcast band.
