12 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES
BEEP FUNCTION
The Beep function provides you confirmation of entry,
error status, and malfunctions of the transceiver.
Although you can turn the beep function OFF by
accessing Menu No. 03, we recommend you leave
it ON in order to detect unexpected errors and
malfunctions. You can also change the output level
of the beeps by accessing Menu No. 03 and selecting
“1” to “9”.
The transceiver generates the following Morse code
to tell you which mode is selected when you change
operating modes:
Mode Morse Code Output

LSB • – • • (L)
CW – • – • (C)
FSK • – • (R)
AM • – (A)

The transceiver also generates the following warning,
confirmation, and malfunction beeps.
Beep Type Meaning
Short, high pitch A valid key is pressed.
Double, high pitch A secondary function is selected.
3 times, high pitch The third function is accepted.
Long, high pitch
A key entry is accepted, Scan
starts, or AT tune has completed.
Short, regular A function is turned OFF.
Short, low pitch An invalid key is pressed.
Morse “UL”
The internal PLL circuit unlock
status is detected.
Morse “S”
CW Auto Tune cannot complete,
or an invalid frequency is entered.
Morse “5”
AT Tune cannot be completed
within the specified time.
Morse “SWR”
The antenna’s SWR is too high
(over 10:1) to perform AT tune.
Morse “CHECK”
1 minute before the APO (Auto
Power Off) function switches the
transceiver OFF, a protection
circuit is ON. or an invalid
voltage is detected.
Morse “BT”
Waiting for a CW message to be
recorded.
Morse “AR”
The current message memory
is full.

• The frequencies for channels 27 ~ 31 have not
been configured, but because they are the same
frequency as channel 26, they will be FM mode
51.0 MHz ≤ f < 52.0 MHz.
• Since the frequencies above 52.0 MHz have not
been configured, they will be USB mode
52.0 MHz ≤ f < 60.0 MHz
