### BEAM action
BEAM is available only in builds compiled with BEAM support. Assign `BEAM` to one of the customizable shortcuts (`F1Shrt`, `F1Long`, `F2Shrt`, `F2Long`, or `M Long`), then trigger that shortcut to open BEAM mode.
In BEAM mode:
* `UP` / `DOWN` toggles between `BEAM TX` and `BEAM RX`
* `M` starts the selected operation
* `EXIT` leaves BEAM mode
`BEAM TX` sends the current VFO or memory-channel configuration. The packet includes the RX frequency, TX offset, RX/TX DCS or CTCSS settings, modulation, bandwidth, output power, scan-list assignment, compander, scrambling setting, DTMF-related settings when enabled, and the channel name.
`BEAM RX` waits for a BEAM packet from another radio. When a valid packet is received, the radio saves it to the first free memory channel. If memory is full, the status shows `MEM FULL`. Pressing `EXIT` after a successful receive switches to the newly saved channel; otherwise it restores the previous VFO/channel state.
