XG-100P Backlight Question

[rreed4]

Is there a setting in RPM to have the backlights come on when receiving audio? I have not been able to find anything in display settings to do this. Only Off,Momentary and ON are available options.

The radio is new to me and didn’t know if that was a possibility.

Thanks.

No this is no hammy radio.

No this is no hammy radio.

Does that make my XPR7550s and Kenwood VP600s hammy radios if they light up when receiving?

No there is not. I have mine set for top light on and front momentary. You can also set the LED to come on when TX or RX.

You can set the VP5/6/8K along with the NX-5K series to light up when RX. The Harris radios will only do the little LED light which is all you really need IMHO.

Also, for what its worth, depending on your backlight settings the radios battery will deplete faster. my 100 is on my belt most of the time. So i mostly see the top display. I will keep the top display on bright, and the forward display on the 2nd to lowest setting. this gives me maximum battery time, and still see what im doing. you can also adjust your backlight settings from the radio itself on the fly

I believe the XL-200P had a fairly recent firmware revision, that allowed for the display backlight to turn on when receiving a transmission
