Enters the number 1 in VFO or MR Enter mode. 2) RX ON Allows you to listen to the received signal from the HF transceiver. (The TRP transmits the received HF signals on the 2 m band, to the CMD). Enters the number 2 in VFO or MR Enter mode. 3) RIT ON Turns ON the HF transceiver RIT. Enters the number 3 in VFO or MR Enter mode. 4) HF POWER OFF Turns OFF the HF transceiver. Enters the number 4 in VFO or MR Enter mode. 5) RX OFF Stops retransmitting the received signal from the HF transceiver. (The TRP discontinues transmission of the received HF signals on the 144 MHz band, to the CMD). Enters the number 5 in VFO or MR Enter mode. Please refer to the appropriate instruction manual of the HF unit for operation of the HF transceiver. Set up the frequency and mode for the operation of VFO and M.
