IC-F121 accessing Set Mode

[Soundy]

When I got this radio, Set Mode was programmed to one of the P-buttons. I repurposed that button for Banks, but I still want to adjust the Set Mode options without needing to fire up the software (mainly I just want to adjust the squelch depending whether I'm in town or not). The manual says I can do it by pressing Power while holding the channel up and down buttons... when I do that, it does flash "SET MODE" briefly on the display, but then continues on without giving me access.

I made sure Set Mode is Enabled via the software... what am I missing?

If the radio is in scan, set mode access via the Vulcan Neck Pinch will be troublesome. Radio off, then Up/Down/Power. Take the mic off hook so scan will stop, then press/hold Po. I have a 121 set up that way on my desk and it works fine.

Up/Down/Power temporarily reprograms Po to set mode, but it still requires a long push to bring it up.

Thanks, will try that! Wish there were more options to program long-press on all the buttons, two of them are just sitting there half-used.

Finally got around to trying it, and it worked! Thanks!
