Note that in the text of this manual, beginning at this
point, any time we are using a feature’s specialized name
or abbreviation, as seen on the screen of the 10C, that
name, feature, or abbreviation will be exactly as seen on
the radio’s screen, including capitalization and shown in
a
DIFFERENT TYPE STYLE
for clarity. Any time we mention
a specific control on the radio itself, such as moving
SWITCH A, KNOB VR(B), or the THROTTLE STICK,
those words will be displayed as they are here.
