The

of
features which

be used to enhance reception.
Before you explore these features,
it
is
important to understand the proper utilization
of

([FUNC]
KEY)
FulI access to the many fulI range
offeatures
provided on the
FT
-100 would require many
more controls and switches than could possibly fit on the tiny front panel
of
the transceiver.
Therefore, the
FT-IOO utilizes a flexible
OPERATING
FUNCTION
SELECTOR
key, labeled [FUNC],
to provide access to these many features via the [A], [B], [C], and
[0]
keys.
The
[FUNC] key must be pressed correctly, as there are two modes
of
[FUNC] key opera-
tion which are often used.

SELECTOR.
o Pressing and holding
in
the [FUNC] key for
Y,
second activates the
"MENU"
mode,
used to customize many aspects
of
the transceiver's configuration. The
MENU
mode
is
detailed
in
the chapter beginning on page 82.
