Activation of “EMG” does not enable any other out-of-amateur-band capabilityon the transceiver. The full specifications of the FT-410 are not necessarily guaranteed on this frequency,but power output and receiver sensitivity should be fully satisfactory for the purpose of emergencycommunication. In an emergency, note that a half-wave dipole cut for this frequency should be approximately 45’3”on each leg (90’6” total length). Emergency operation on 5167.5 kHz is shared with the Alaska-FixedService. This transceiver is not authorized for operation, under the FCC’s Part 87, for aeronauticalcommunications.14.195.000M-012[MAIN DIAL] knob[V/M] button[MENU] button
