2. ADVANCED OPERATIONS
About the 5 MHz frequency band operation (USA version only)
Operation on the 5 MHz frequency band is
allowed on 5 discrete frequencies, and you must
adhere to the following:
•Only use the USB, USB Data, and CW modes.
•Maximum of 100 watts ERP (Effective
Radiated Power)
•Maximum 2.8 kHz bandwidth
It is your responsibility to set all controls so
that transmission in this frequency band meets
the stringent conditions under which amateur
operations may use these frequencies.
TIP:
We recommend that you save these
frequencies, modes, and filter settings into
memory channels, for easy recall.
NOTE:
To assist you in operating within the
rules specified by the FCC, the transmission is
illegal on any frequencies other than the five
shown in the tables on the right.
For the USB and USB data modes:
The FCC specifies center frequencies on the
5 MHz frequency band. However, the transceiver
displays carrier frequency. Therefore, tune the
transceiver 1.5 kHz below the specified FCC
channel center frequency.

5.40500 MHz
For the CW mode:
The transceiver displays the center frequency.
Therefore, tune the transceiver to the specified
FCC channel frequency when you operate in
these modes.
