MENU SETUP
WHAT IS A MENU?
Many functions on this transceiver are selected or configured via a software-
controlled Menu, rather than through the physical controls of the transceiver.
Once familiar with the Menu system, you will appreciate the versatility it
offers. You can customize the various timings, settings, and programming
functions on this transceiver to meet your needs without using many controls
and switches.

explanation of the Menu No.
