Description of the HT
The ht has a hefty feel about it, and while the display faces you the following layout should help.
Top Of the HT
From left to right you have the:
- Antenna connection (SMA)
- A round cap with ridges in it to untwist for exposing the remote mic/headset jack
- The volume nob
- Directly below the volume nob is a wider round nob to change between menus and frequencies/memories
Left side of the HT
On the left side of the HT from top to bottom is:
- The PTT Button,
- Squelch button (Note the squelch button is only slightly separated from the PTT button and feels like a round button)
The Right side of the unit
On the right side you have a cover that you use a finger nail from the bottom of it to open it that covers the port for the wall wort.

On the front you have from top to bottom:
- Display
