DN] continuously scrolls through the
available bands.
Note: For example, if 6.10000 MHz is resistered as
the General coverage frequency, then the General
coverage band automatically positions itself between
3.5 MHz and 7 MHz band.

Programmable tuning steps
Programmable tuning steps are available to suit your
operating requirements.
These tuning steps are:
• Selectable from 0.1, 1, 5, 9, 10, 100 kHz
q
Push [TS], the programmable tuning step indica-
tor, “

,” then appears above the 1 kHz.
• Rotating the tuning dial changes the frequency accord-
ing to the set tuning step.
w
Push [TS] for 2 sec. while the programmable tun-
ing step indicator appears to enter the tuning step
set mode.
e
Rotate the tuning dial to set the desired tuning
step.
r
Push [TS] to exit the tuning step set mode.

Band stacking resister
The band stacking register automatically stores the
last frequency and mode used for each band. This is
convenient for contest operation, etc. The tables
