Hi Steve; I suspected the stuff was in the manual but i appreciated the help.Had to play a bit, that counting to twenty gets hard. You run out of fingers and toes. After a bit of trial and error, however, got it set up. Many thanks Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Dresser" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 4:19 PM Subject: Re: tmg707a Rich, The following instructions are taken directly from the manual: 13.2 ASSIGNING SPECIAL KEY FUNCTIONS 1 Press MENU to enter Menu mode. 2 Select Menu Number 20 (PF1) to Number 23 (PF4). 3 Press OK, then turn the Tuning control to select the desired function. As you turn the Tuning control clockwise the selection changes as follows: User Setting, to Monitor, to Enter, to Voice, to POWER switch (PF 1 only). 4 Press OK again to complete the setting and exit Menu mode. User Setting: Selects the front panel key function you assigned. Monitor: Makes the squelch open and allows you to monitor activity on the current frequency. This function is useful when adjusting the volume or when receiving weak signals. Pressing the re-programmed Microphone key switches Monitor ON or OFF. Scan will not function if Monitor is ON (squelch open). Enter: Allows you to enter digits from the microphone. Refer to "KEYPAD DIRECT ENTRY". Voice: Activates or deactivates the function that announces the current frequency using beeps of different frequencies. Press any key to stop the beeps. POWER switch: Turns the transceiver ON or OFF. This function can be assigned only to PF 1. Let me know if you have any questions.
