254BASIC OPERATION12345678910111213141516171819N Operating mode selectionOperating modes are determined by the modulation of theradio signals. The transceiver has a total of 5 operating modes(FM, FM-N, WFM, AM and DV modes). The mode selection isstored independently for each band and memory channel.Typically, AM mode is used for the AM broadcast stations(0.495–1.620 MHz) and air band (118–136.995 MHz), andWFM is used for FM broadcast stations (76–107.9 MHz).± Push and hold [MODE](BAND) for 1 sec. several times toselect the desired operating mode.• While pushing and holding [MODE](BAND), rotate [DIAL] is alsoavailable to select operating mode.[DIAL]FM FM N WFMAMDV+ [DIAL]N Attenuator functionThe attenuator prevents distortion of a desired signal by verystrong signals near the desired frequency or when very strongelectric fields, such as from a broadcasting station, are presentat your location. The attenuation is about 10 dB.q Enter “ATT” in FUNC set mode (SET).
