knobs.  The active side is identified by a 

MAIN

 icon in the top “right” corner of  the ac-

tive display.  When the instructions refer to

transceiver side and do not affect the inactive side until the inactive side is made active. 
 
To select the 

MAIN

 band, either press the P1 key on the mic or the 

DIAL

 knob on the 

side you wish to set active.
