Where is a list of the menu names like SCT, AOP, CDT, STE, TBST, T-DEC, etc.? They are not defined in the manual.

The abbreviations you are seeing in the Retevis RT95 menu refer to specific signaling and transmission settings. While the basic manual may not list every acronym, here are the definitions for the terms you mentioned:SCT (Squelch Tail): Refers to the Squelch Tail Elimination time, which helps eliminate the 'pop' or burst of noise at the end of a transmission.AOP (Auto Power On): Settings for the radio's automatic power-on behavior when it receives DC power.CDT (CTCSS/DCS Type): Used to select the type of sub-audible tone signaling (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System or Digital Coded Squelch).STE (Squelch Tail Elimination): A toggle to turn the squelch tail elimination feature on or off.TBST (Tone Burst): Sets the frequency for the tone burst (often 1750Hz) used to activate some amateur radio repeaters.T-DEC (Tone Decoder): Settings related to the decoding of incoming signaling tones.To navigate these, press and hold the FUNC button to enter the main menu, use the Channel knob to scroll, and press the knob to select. If you need to program these more easily, it is highly recommended to use CHIRP software, which displays these settings with full labels on a computer screen.
