4-10. OTHER OPERATION
4-10-1. Beep T ones
Audible confirmation of various microprocessor
functions is provided in the form of a series of audio
beeps. The output level of the “Beeper” is
adjustable with a variable resistor located inside the
set. (Please refer to Section 6-6-3.)
4-10-2. Audible Mode Announcement
When a Mode key is pressed, the first character of
the mode is sounded in Morse code thru the
speaker. (Note that FSK is announced with an “R”)

4-10-3. Alarm Function
Several alarms have been included to signal errors
that you might encounter. The chart below lists the
possible causes and the resulting Morse code alarm.
Morse code will be heard from the speaker.
Indication Morse Code
• When the SCAN key is pressed
and the receiver is unable to
execute memory scan.
• When all memory channels are full
and attempt is made to find an
empty channel with the 1 MHz
switch ON.
• When all memory channels are
empty and an attempt is made to
select memory channel with the 1
MHz switch ON.
CHECK
When you exceed the operating
limits while using the numeric keys
to enter a frequency.
OVER
The frequency step in the AM and FM modes can
be set to 10 Hz. (Please refer to Section 4-10-15.)
B. M.CH/VFO CH control
1. The active VFO frequency step is as shown
below.
Frequency Step

M.CH/VFO CH control
10 kHz 240 kHz
The frequency step may be reprogrammed when
turning on the POWER switch. (Please refer to
Section 4-10-15.)
2. This control is also used to select the desired
memory channel during Memory Channel
Operation.
4-10-5. Amateur Radio Bands selection
Press the UP/DOWN switch to change amateur radio
bands.
4-10-6. Direct keyboard frequency entry
Direct keyboard entry of the operating frequency is
possible using the Numeric Keypad on the
transceiver. This allows rapid changes in frequency
without the delays encountered when using other
tuning methods._____________________________
Note
You cannot enter any frequency which is outside
the coverage of the radio.
1. Press the ENT key. The display will indicate.
