Hi Bruno,

?

Welcome to the group. On your first question about the system menu, I have manuals for V1.0… and V3.0… Below are snips of those menus. I have never seen anything in-between and not sure which version you are seeing.

On your second question about charging while operating, on my V3.0 unit, I have been operating on and off (receive/transmit) for 3+ years only with the charging cable connected (24H/7D) with no issues. The V3.0 manual states the following:

I built a charge cable with an in-line 3A fuse and use an 800CCA 12VDC car battery to charge the unit and never had an issue with the battery running between 12.3 and 13.0 VDC (while smart charging) with no issues. If the X5105 does go haywire, the 3A fuse should protect it, but has never popped, to date.

?

I am not sure about a V1.0 unit’s ability to charge while XMIT, but don’t believe it has the Menu-7 toggle for CHG ON.

?

If you don’t know what the missing menu options are, chances are you don’t need them.

?

I hope this helps.

Best 73, Lou N2JPR
