Using the AMS (Automatic Mode Select) function, the transceiver
can switch its communication mode automatically to match the
received signal. This is very convenient because there is no need to
pay attention to the communication mode of the partner. Turn on the
AMS function during normal operation. When the AMS function is
active, a bar will be displayed on top of the mode (Example: ).
In the AMS mode, transmission and reception is carried out using
the normal DN mode. However, when transmitting after receiving in
other modes, the mode last received will be used. To transmit using
the normal DN mode, touch the key and set the AMS function
again. When operating using the digital fixed mode ( / ), try to be
aware of the FM signal status and do not transmit when there is a
possibility of interfering with the FM signals on the channel.
