two inches away from your mouth.
Some marine channels and Weather mode channels

only channels.
# There is a 5 minute limit for continuous transmission.
After 5 minutes the unit goes into a PTT error condition;
the timeout tone sounds, TX displays, and the channel
indicators blink.
Boosting the transmission power

If you nd yourself far away from other stations and have
trouble getting a response, you may need to boost the
transmission power from 1W to 2.5W or 6W.
