Selecting the receive mode
Receive modes are determined by the
physical properties of the radio signals.
The transceiver has 3 receive modes:
FM, AM and WFM modes. Typically, AM
mode is used for the avionics band
(108– 135.975 MHz) and WFM is used
for FM broadcast stations (88–107.75
MHz).
When pushing [PTT], a beep tone
sounds indicating the mode is not
