NOTICE: In July 2021 the channel name changed from HamCuredSmoke
To Ham Radio A2Z. All of the earlier videos (like this one) are still available.


This video is a long one. We'll go through the front panel interfaces for basic radio operation.
This video doesn't focus on specific manual pages. I try to go around the front panel in a reasonably logical order. Most of the items covered can be found in the Basic Manual, section 3.
If you don't want to sit through the entire 41 minutes of this video, you can skip directly to topics that interest you using the time marks and links below.
