39Basic OperationPerforming Communication3 Enter the frequency using the numeric keys.Example: To input 145.520 MHz[1] → [4] → [5] → [5] → [2]Example: To input 430.000 MHz[4] → [3] → [ENT]Tips• In factory settings, Auto Step mode is set so that the transceiver is automatically switched to theoptimal frequency steps for the receiver frequency.The frequency may be changed in 1 MHz steps by touching [F MW] and rotating the DIAL ( seepage 47).• If a wrong digit is entered when entering a frequency using the numeric keys, it may be canceled bypressing .• In factory settings, turning the DIAL beyond the selected frequency band causes the transceiver toswitch to the next frequency band.To change the tuning so the frequency will move repeatedly through the selected band, press andhold for over one second to switch to Set mode, then touch [CONFIG] → [21 VFO MODE] andselect “BAND” to repeatedly show frequencies on the same frequency band.Selecting the Communication Modey Using AMSThis transceiver is equipped with AMS (Automatic Mode Select) which automaticallyselects between 4 modes of transmission to correspond to the signal being received.Because the transmitter is automatically adjusted to that of the other station, C4FM digitalsignals and analog signals are both recognized automatically.To utilize the AMS function, touch [MODE] to display “ ”* on the LCD. After receivingthe signal, “DN” of “ ” will be changed according to the received signal.*The display differs depending on the received signal.Example of whenAMS is displayed
