Default RE: Let's talk DX18 here!

I bought from my local hpbby shop.
I've upgraded the software, it went well.
I've had a EDF that I'm going to use as a test bed for the air speed indicator.
Pito tube sticks right out the nose, should get good air there.

I have some questions about the speed alerts.
Just for starters I set a low speed of 25mph and a hi speed of 70mph.
This plane will do both easily.
I set vib and tone for low speed, and just tone for hi speed.
Seems to work, I haven't flown it yet, but 'milking' the tubing will give airspeed readings for test purposes.
Is there a way to set the alarm to shut off if I go back above the low speed alarm, without pushing the clear button?

Also, can I set ti to start the alert say 10mph above the stall speed and increase to the actual stall speed?
I would build in a fudge factor of course.
If I go back above the 10mph speed it should go off.
Is this possible?

Getting the hang of it, looks like a good radio.
