11. FRONT PANEL METER: The front panel meter allows the user to
monitor signal strength and RF power out level.
12. TX/RX LED: The red LED indicates the radio is in the transmit mode.
The green indicates the radio is in the receive mode.

frequency is shifted 10KHz up.
20. CHANNEL DISPLAY: The channel display indicates the current
