Option Settings
1. Frequency Direct - This optional
operating mode allowing the frequency to be
changed without conventional use of a
channel. It can be toggled "On" or "Off".
To use Frequency Direct (when it is
enabled) use the following procedure:
In the Default Screen, move the cursor to
underline the frequency, and press the
"ENT" key. Use the left and right arrows to
select the digit(s) to edit, and the up and
down arrows to change the value(s).
Continue this procedure until the entire
frequency has been set. When complete,
press "ENT" to have the new frequency take
effect.
If the frequency entered is outside the band
of operation, the entry will be discarded, and
an error message showing the valid region
of operation will be displayed.
In this mode, the channel number is replaced
with asterisks "****". To return to channel
mode, select the channel with the cursor and
change it to the desired channel number.
2. Start in Standby - This option either
places the unit in Standby Mode after
booting-up (Yes), or places the unit into
Transmit Mode after booting-up (No).
Caution: if the power to the unit is
interrupted for any reason, the unit will not
return to transmit without user intervention.

enable (Yes) or disable (No) the use of
Channel Presets.
