V/D Mode (Voice/Data Simultaneous Communication Mode) The digital voice signal is transmitted using one half of the bandwidth. Simultaneously the other half of the 12.5 kHz bandwidth channel is used for error correction the audio signal and the accompanying data. The V/D Digital mode provides the ideal balance of error correction and audio quality with the Digital Clear Voice technology developed for C4FM digital.

Voice FR Mode (Voice Full Rate Mode)

This mode uses the full 12.5 kHz bandwidth to transmit digital voice data. The increased audio data permits high quality voice communication.

Data FR Mode (High Speed Data Communication Mode) This high-speed data communication mode uses the full 12.5 kHz bandwidth for data communication. The switches to Data FR mode when transmitting Snapshot pictures, and can be used to transmit large quantities of data at high speed.

Analog FM Mode

Analog FM is effective when weak signal strength causes audio drop out in the digital mode, The FM mode enables communication up to the borderline of the noise level.
