1 MODE SELECT
((aallll mmooddeess))
This item is available in all modes, and allows you to
simplify operation by inhibiting the selection of
unneeded operating modes during normal opera-
tion. For example if you are operating mobile and only
plan on using FM and AM modes, use “MODE
SELECT” to inhibit access to all other modes (SSB,
CW, RTTY, WFM), thereby making selection of AM or
FM quick and easy.
The default is on for all operating
modes. To toggle an operating mode
on or off, push (or push and hold)
[MODE] one or more times until the
desired mode is displayed, then rotate
the main dial to set on or off.
