Amateur Radio Setup

In contrast to commercial radio operators, who often need very specific requirements to be compatible
with very specific radio implementation, amateur radio operators tend to need the broadest possible
settings to be compatible with as many systems as possible. This implies turning off all extraneous
features that you typically may need for commercial radio setups.
In a typical amateur radio setup, the following settings would be recommended:
•
Set bandwidth to Wide (menu item 5).
•
Turn DCS and CTCSS off (menu items 10 - 13).
•
Turn ANI, DTMFST, S-CODE, PTT-ID off and PTT-LT to 0ms (menu items 15 - 17 and 19 – 20).
•
Turn off the Squelch Tail Elimination (STE) features (menu items 35 – 37).
•
Turn roger beep (ROGER) off (menu item 39).
