AM/FM switching
You can select AM or FM modulation by pressing the AM/FM button.
Please note that in the German 80 CH system it is possible (and allowed) to listen in
AM on all 80 channels, but transmit is only possible on CH 1-40 in AM. During receive
mode, the bar graph shows the strengths of the received signal, during transmission, it
shows the relative output power. In
dE
and
EU
settings, the AM power depends on the
jumper setting on the lower printed circuits board side (see country switching)
