There is a second set of factory / service menu functions F01 to F59. WARNING: changing these may reset all the memories. If you intend to make any changes, record all the original values first. Most of these settings are unique to each radio and are determined by using alignment procedures described in the FT100 Service Manual. Do not change these values unless you are sure of what you are doing. To activate them put the transceiver in VFO mode and turn it off. Press and hold the A,B,C keys; while holding them in, press and hold in the [PWR] switch for 1/2 second to turn the transceiver on. Now let go of all keys. Then press and hold the FUNC key for 1/2 second to get to the menu and then rotate the select knob to get to a second menu (F01 to F59) after #66 or before #01. When you turn the rig off and back on it returns to the normal menu. Nr. Function F01 144 RF GAIN F02 430 RF GAIN
