Section 97.401(d) of the regulations governing amateur radio in the United States permit emergency amateur
communications on the spot frequency of 5167.5 kHz by stations in (or within 92.6 km of) the state of Alaska.
This frequency is only to be used when the immediate safety of human life and/or property are threatened,
and is never to be used for routine communications.
The
FT-410 includes the capability for transmission and reception on 5167.5 kHz under such emergency
conditions.
Preparation
1. Press the [MENU] button to enter the Menu mode.
The “Menu.” will appear on the display.
2. Rotate the [ MAIN DIAL ] knob to select the menu
item “EMG”.
3. Press the [
GRP
] knob to enable adjustment of this
menu item.
4. Rotate the [ MAIN DIAL ] knob to select “ON”.
5. Press the [
GRP
] button. The “Menu.” returns to
appear continuously.
6. Press the [MENU] button to save the new setting and return to normal operation.
Operation
1. Press the [ V/M ] button, if necessary, to enter the Memory mode. A memory channel number will appear in
display.
2. Press the [ GRP ] button to select the emergency channel (“EMG”).
3. To exit from emergency channel and return to the VFO mode, just press the [ V/M ] button.
Note:

The receive-mode CLARIFIER functions normally while using this frequency, but variation of the transmit
frequency is not possible. Activation of “EMG” does not enable any other out-of-amateur-band capability
on 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 emergency
communication.

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-Fixed
Service. This transceiver is not authorized for operation, under the FCC’s Part 87, for aeronautical
communications.
