>> and memory modes. When operating with a Yaesu radio, you can change
>> the repeater shift from the keypad, or step through the various modes
>> on the radio.
>> The keypad is designed to be operated from an internal 9 volt battery
>> when connected to an ICOM or Kenwood radio and requires no power at
>> all when connected to a Yaesu radio. It's power consumption is now so
>> low (under 10 microamps when idling) that it should run for at least
>> months on a single battery.
>> Switching the keypad between radios is quite simple. To change the
>> keypad to FT-817 (FT-897, FT 857) mode, for example, simply type:
>> **817. To switch to FT-100 mode, type: **100 To switch to ICOM mode,
