(assuming you have the FS-10 "Mr. Potato Head" mic): -Turn radio off. -While holding down the LOW, REV & vol. control of the band you want to adjust on the FS-10, press the PWR button. This puts the radio into service mode & you'll see "STANDBY" on the display. -Press the joystick to the right 5 times to get to the MODULATION menu entry. -Press the joystick up or down to raise/lower the deviation of the band selected in the first step via the volume control held down. You can key the radio TX at this point so you can measure the deviation. -Once the deviation is set, press "HOME" to save the setting, then "LOW" to exit the service menu. BTW, the "REFERENCE" menu setting sets the frequency. Bob NO6B
