depending on which key you want to reassign:
[PF]+ POWER ON, or
Microphone [MR]+ POWER ON, or
Microphone [VFO] + POWER ON, or
[CALL] + POWER ON
• "PFI", "PF2", "PF3", or "PF4" appears.
2 Press the key on the Front Panel that you want to
assign to the microphone PF key pressed in Step 1.
• The Front Panel key is now assigned to the PF
key.
• Also, the Front Panel key will still function
normally after "copying" its function to a PF
key.
Note:
► The function of the [F] key cannot be assigned using the
above procedure. To assign the [FJ key function to PF1,
press [TONE/CTCSS] + POWER ON.
► If you decide to restore a default function, follow "To Restore
Default Function" instructions in the chart for the function that
you want to restore, or simply do a Full Reset {page 46}.
► After assigning [SHIFT], [DTSS], or [LOW] to a PF key,
pressing the PF key for more than 1 second starts the
Playback, Page, or Lock-out function respectively.
Monitor Function
Monitor allows you to override any squelch systems
being used so activity on a frequency can be heard.
This is handy to quickly listen to a frequency without
actually changing the squelch setting or disabling the
squelch system.
Press microphone [PF] to toggle the Monitor function
ON and OFF.
