Figure 34: VFO A
VFO A is the main tuning VFO for the primary receiver RX1 and the transmitter. It consists of a
frequency and a band description (related to the selected frequency). VFO A (and VFO B see below) act
slightly differently, depending on whether the secondary receiver RX2 is on or not:
When RX2 is
off
(or not installed), VFO A is the the main tuning VFO and VFO B tunes the
primary receiver's secondary (split transmit or multiRX) frequency.
o
With Split off, the transmit frequency is displayed in VFO A (VFO A
TX
indicator is red)
o
With Split on, the transmit frequency is displayed in VFO B (VFO B
TX
indicator is red)
Note:
Split and MultiRX are only available for the primary receiver RX1.
When RX2 is
on
, VFO A is exclusively dedicated to RX1 (and VFO B to RX2). As can be seen in
Figure 34 above, in this case the RX1 split transmit or multiRX frequency is shown as a sub-
frequency in the lower section of the display, where otherwise the band description would be.
o
Clicking on the
TX
indicator in VFO A or VFO B will switch the transmit frequency to
either the RX1 (VFO A) or RX2 (VFO B) frequency.
o
If
Split
is on, the RX1 transmit frequency is the VFO A sub-frequency, displayed in red.
The upper frequency area of the VFO is a Text Box and may be edited as such (click and drag
highlighting, etc).The same holds for the lower area, when it displays a frequency instead of a band
description. The upper area may also be changed by entering a numeric character (without any mouse
interaction). An underline will indicate the digit that will be tuned when hovering over the frequency
display.
See the Tuning Methods on page 158 for more details on how to tune.
Note that when

The band text returns by turning RX2 off, or leaving RX2 on, but turning split and/or multiRX off.
