available between characters. Characters can include 0 – 9, A – Z, -, ‘\ $, /,
+, %, \ I,_, <, >, or h.

signal is received or when a key is pressed. The time duration of the
backlighting can also be programmed.
DISPLAY INDICATIONS
The Alphanumeric Display shows different indications in Standard Display mode
and Alphanumeric Display mode. The ·most obvious are the indications for Scan,
Priority Scan and User Code Guard.
SCAN OPERATION
Scan operation is indicated by two flashing bars in Standard Display mode. The
SCN annunciator is displayed only if the selected channel is in the scan list.
Scan operation is indicated by a flashing SCN annunciator in Alphanumeric
Display mode.
During Scan operation in Standard Display mode, when a signal is received, the
received channel is shown on the right side of the display.
When a signal is received in Alphanumeric Display mode, the received channel
Is shown instead of the transmit channel and the RX annunciator is also
displayed.

USER CODE GUARD
If User Code Guard selection is enabled by programming, the Alphanumeric
Display has two ways of showing the channel from which Code Guard values are
copied. For example, if you use the Code Guard values of Channel 9 with the
frequencies of Channel 5
In Standard Display mode, the display will show the selected channel on the
left (5) and the Code Guard value channel on the right
(9).
In Alphanumeric Display mode, the display will show the channel label of the
selected channel only. To view the label of the Code Guard value channel,
press the [#] key on the keyboard. The group number will be displayed,
followed briefly by the channel label of the Code Guard value channel, then
