These options were installed in the EPROM of the radio at time of ordering.

Option A. This is the Amateur option. It allows front panel tuning across all HF amateur bands except 160m.
Radios fitted with this option must have the Low power strap  fitted. This reduces the
transmit power to around 10-12 watts on these frequencies to prevent the PA filters burning out.
It is also likely that 27mhz CB frequencies will be fitted to this EPROM.

The following frequency bands are covered.
3.5 to 4.0 MHz
7.0 to 7.3 MHz
10.1 to 10.15 MHz
14.0 to 14.35 MHz
18.0 to 18.2 MHz
24.8 to 25.0 MHz
28.0 to 29.7 MHz

Be careful as some of these are outside the Australian Plan.

To use this feature;

Select a channel with an amateur frequency

Press any of the tune fast/ tune slow buttons. The display will change to 'TUNE TX'
You can either continue scrolling through the frequency or;
Press enter, input the frequency, Press enter again.

Note: you will not be able to enter TX frequencies outside of the amateur band.

You can enter your favourite frequencies as P-channels or may be programmed as TX INHIBIT in the software
which will change to 'TUNE TX' as soon as you press the tune fast / tune slow buttons.

OPTION TXD This is a standard option that does not allow the user to enter TX P-channels from the
front panel. This can be bypassed by shorting out the microprocessor Link as you switch on.
You should only do this if you are licenced for that frequency.If you leave the link in place the radio will not transmit.

OPTION TXE This is a rare option that allows direct entry of transmit frequencies from the front panel.
You must also have the microprocessor link permanantly connected.
