A LOOK AT THE KEYBOARD

A quick glance at this section should help you understand each key's
function.

PRIORITY               - sets and turns on and off priority for a
                         particular channel.

STEP                   - changes the frequency step (5, 12.5, or 50 kHz).

RESET                  - resets the default band mode and frequency step.

DIRECT                 - starts a direct frequency search.

L/OUT                  - lets you lock out selected channels or
                         frequencies.

L/O RVW                - lets you review locked-out channels or
                         frequencies.

DELAY                  - programs a 2-second delay for the selected mode.

Number Keys            - each key has a single-digit label and a range of
                         numbers.  Use the digits on the keys to enter the
                         numbers for a channel or a frequency.  Use the
                         range of numbers above the key (201-300, for
                         example) to select the channels in a channel-
                         storage bank.  See "Understanding Banks/Memories",
                         below.
