first depending on who you bought it from you may get it open across its range so be mindful of that
and don't accidently transmit on the local NOAA freq.  You're going to find that the 6 radios are
narrow band compliant.  This means the transmiter will also transmit FMN and the receiver will tune
FMN as well.  In the frequency step menu which is menu 1 option 0 will set your tuning step to 2.5
kHZ.  My 6d appears to skip menu 27 and I cant get any guidance as to why this is so I will be
interested to see if yours does the same thing.  Like all of these radios, yours will come up
talking so no problem there. The 6d looks feels and acts like a commercial radio even down to the
carrier drop.  Anyone who has had any experience with Motorola or Vertex commercial radios should
know what I am talking about.  In closing:  In my experience and I have only had the thing just
under 2 weeks it won't take you long to get it up on the air at all.  One more thing about the
menus; The menus you are likely to use most frequently are the ones which are communicative.  Menus
1 2 3 4 7 8 9 and the menus which control offset offset direction and memory reading and writing.
Hope that helps and let us know how you get on.
