ing requirements. Low output powers during short-distance
communications may reduce the possibility of interference to
other stations and will reduce current consumption.

Operating mode selection
Operating modes are determined by the modulation of the
radio signals. The transceiver has total 5 operating modes
(FM, FM-N, AM, AM-N and DV* modes)
. The mode selection is
stored independently for each band and memory channel.
Typically, AM mode is used for the air band
(118–136.995 MHz)
,
and receive is only available.
