in a real time bar graph. In auto mode, any channel with a signal is automatically
stopped and received. When operating on the currently selected channel, you can
press the PTT key or press the dial to switch to manual mode and fix the channel for
communication. When there is no signal in the selected channel, it scans again and
displays the reception status (signal strength) in real time.
