Auxiliary Buttons
These Six programmable buttons are located on the side panel and the front (under the display) of
the radio and their use depends on how they are programmed using the PC Programmer. Ask
your radio programmer how they are set up to function.
The three most commonly used functions of these buttons are
Hi/Lo Power (useful for conserving battery life), Monitor (valuable when using analog FM
channels - also includes squelch control)
, and Next Zone.
