Amateur Radio Setup

In contrast with Commercial radio operators, who often need very specific requirements to be compatible with a very specific
radio implementation, amateur radio operators tend to need the broadest possible settings in order to be compatible with as
many systems as possible. This basically implies turning off all the extraneous features that you typically might need for a
commercial setup.
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 through 13).
• Turn ANI, DTMFST, S-CODE, PTT-ID off and PTT-LT to 0ms (menu items 15 through 17 and 19 through 20).
• Turn off Squelch Tail Elimination (STE) features (menu items 35 through 37).
• Turn roger beep (ROGER) off (menu item 39).
