Quick split function
When you find a DX station, an important considera-
tion is how to set the split frequency.
When you hold down the
SPLIT
switch for 1 second,
split frequency operation is turned ON and the trans-
mit frequency is equalized to the received frequency.
This shortens the time needed to begin split fre-
quency operation.
The quick split function is ON by default. For your
convenience, it can be turned OFF in Others set
mode. (p. 12-13) In this case, the
SPLIT
switch does
not equalize the transmit frequency to the receive fre-
quency.
q
Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB)
in VFO mode.
w
Hold down
SPLIT
for 1 second.
• Split frequency operation is turned ON.
• The transmit frequency (unselected VFO’s readout) is
equalized to the receive frequency (selected VFO’s rea
-
dout).
• “
SPLIT
” indicator appears.
e
Enter the desired offset frequency from the keypad
then push
SPLIT
, or set the transmit frequency
with the main dial while pushing [XFC].

Split lock function
The split lock function is convenient for changing only
the transmit frequency. When the split lock function
is not used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotat-
ing the main dial, changes the receive frequency. The
split lock function is ON by default, but can be turned
OFF in set mode. (p. 12-13)
q
While split frequency operation is ON, push [LOCK]
to activate the split lock function.
w
While pushing [XFC], rotate the main dial to
change the transmit frequency.
• If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating the main
dial, the receive frequency does NOT change.
