AURORA RADIO CONTROLS
FRONT VIEW
Display
The Aurora advanced model radios have a front panel display that
consists of status icons and an alphanumeric display of channel
information and radio status. If you select the alpha display mode,
the display will show the preprogrammed alphanumeric channel
identifier. If you switch to channel or frequency display modes, the
LCD displays either the channel number or the channel frequency
information. In all cases, the radio status indicators (icons) are
shown.
