Gery, Lou, and anyone else interested:

The Transmit button is a small flat switch just to the right of the 
Power button.  When the switch is up, the radio is in Transmit.  When 
it's down, it's in Receive.  You can prevent the radio from 
transmitting by pressing the bottom lefthand button in the double row 
of four buttons to the right of the Transmit switch.  This button 
toggles the radio between ham bands only and general coverage.  When 
you're in general coverage, transmit is disabled.
