FUNCTION FOR TRANSMIT
D
Quick split function
In
M1
, when you push [
(F-1)
SPL
] for 1 sec., split fre-
quency operation is turned ON and VFO B is auto-
matically changed according to the plus/minus
pre-programmed shift frequency set in initial set mode
(or equalized when 0 kHz is programmed as the split
shift frequency). This shortens the time needed to
start split frequency operation—great for DX’ing.
The quick split function is ON by default. If desired, it
can be turned OFF in initial set mode (p. 79). In this
case, pushing [
(F-1)
SPL
] for 1 sec. has the same ef-
fect as pushing [
(F-1)
SPL
] momentarily as in normal
split operation.
PROGRAMMING SPLIT SHIFT FREQUENCY (p.80)
q
Push [POWER] to turn power OFF.
w
While pushing [LOCK], push [POWER] to turn
power ON and enter initial set mode.
e
Select “
26 SPL OFFSET
” using [MENU], [M-
CH] or the [
Y
]/[
Z
] keys, then rotate the main dial
to select the desired split offset.
• The split offset can be selected from –9.999 MHz to
+9.999 MHz.

and can be selected for one of three types during
transmitting.

INDICATION
MEASUREMENT
Po
Indicates the relative RF output power.
ALC
Indicates the ALC level. When the
meter movement shows the input signal
level exceeds the allowable level, the
ALC limits the RF power. In such cases,
reduce the microphone gain (see
above).
SWR
Indicates the SWR over the transmis-
sion line.
