TONE: Press the FUNC button, and then press the
tone button to turn on the receive audio tone control.
TONE will appear on the LCD indicating the feature is
activated. This feature will roll-off high frequency noise
(i.e. “white” noise). Under many operating conditions
this will improve the clarity and understanding of re-
ceived signals.
5: Memory Channel 5. After programming this button
is memory channel 5. See M.LOAD \ M.SAVE control
for programming instructions.
23. M.SAVE / M.LOAD
M.SAVE: To save in memory a specific frequency and
operating mode, select the desired mode and rotate
the FREQUENCY control to the desired frequency.
Press the FUNC button, and then press the M.SAVE
button. S will appear on the LCD next to the frequency.
While S is displayed, immediately press any of the
memory channel buttons (1 - 5). The mode and fre-
quency is now saved into memory. If the S indicator
disappears before you press the memory channel but-
ton, the information will not be saved and the process
must be repeated.
M.LOAD: To load, or recall, any of the saved memory
channels press the M.LOAD button. L will appear on
the LCD for several seconds. While the letter is dis-
played press the desired memory channel button (1 -

played.

OTHER FEATURES
1.
PROGRAMMING TONE
This tone sounds each time the CPU is being pro-
grammed. It is helpful, in the beginning so you can be
sure the command has been entered. You may turn off
the tone by simply pressing the PTT switch on the mi-
crophone and turning on the ON/OFF POWER switch
at the same time. To turn the tone back on, repeat the
same process.
2.
MEMORY BACK UP
The AlphaForce features a super-capacitor back up
for the 5 memory channels. The AlphaForce can be
disconnected from a power source for approximately
4 or 5 days before the memory is lost.
