President McKinley EU "HIDDEN RU MODE"

Some interesting news for President McKinley EU owners is that a simple key press routine appears to allow access to a 'hidden RU mode' even on radios which have not had the export mod done to them.

Switching the radio on with a key press routine puts the radio into RU mode, the radio will stay in RU mode until you repeat the key press routine which returns the radio to standard EU Multi-Norm configuration. 

When in this RU mode, pressing the MENU/CHANNEL SELECTOR will toggle between frequencies ending in 5's or 0's as shown below.

Here is a short video showing an unmodified President McKinley in RU mode....
