while using this frequency, but variation of the trans-
mit frequency is not possible. The full specications

frequency, but power output and receiver sensitivity
should be fully satisfactory for the purpose of emer-
gency communication.

Alaska Emergency Frequency, repeat the above pro-
cedures, but set the Menu item

FREQ TX
” to “
DISABLE
” in step 3.
In an emergency, note that a half-wave dipole cut
for this frequency should be approximately 45’3” on
each leg (90’6” total length). Emergency operation
on 5167.5 kHz is shared with the Alaska-Fixed Ser-
vice. This transceiver is not authorized for operation,
under the FCC Part 87, for aeronautical communica-
tions.
