That sounds correct. Only channel 43 allows you to change modes. Channels 39-42 each display something else. Here’s what I found:
“Test mode enabled by pwr down, hold func+F4 and power up/Enables CH39 to 43 to be selected. ON 43 hold ptt in and can then rotate selection knob to change the mode ie broadband TX all vhf and uhf frequencies. Release ptt to save. Power down and back on, radio comes on in new mode.
also CH-39-42 is selectable shows 39= RF FW version 1.10, 40 = CPU V1.11, 41 lcd V1.10, 42 = mode:02 amateur, 01 fixed, 03 broadband unlimited TX.”
