FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
■
Dualwatch operation
Dualwatch simultaneously monitors two frequencies.
The IC-7850 has 2 independent receiver circuits, the
Main and Sub bands, so that you can use Dualwatch
with no compromises, even on different bands and
modes.
Set the desired mode in the Main and Sub bands.
q
Push [DUALWATCH] to select the Dualwatch opera-
w
tion.
• To equalize the SUB band frequency and mode to that
of the Main band, hold down [DUALWATCH] for 1 sec-
ond. This
Quick Dualwatch function can be turned OFF
in the Others set screen.
(SET [F-7] > OTHERS [F-5] > Quick Dualwatch)
Rotate [MAIN DIAL] or [SUB DIAL] to set the de-
e
sired frequency.
Normally, the IC-7850 transmits on the Main band.
During Dualwatch operation, you can transmit on the
Sub band by doing the following procedures:
• Push [SPLIT] to turn ON the Split function.
• Push [CHANGE] to switch the settings, such as the oper
-
ating frequency, operating mode, and so on, between the
Main and Sub bands.
NOTE:
• A beat note may be heard, depending on the fre
-
quency combination (3.5 MHz and 7 MHz, and so
on).
• Receiver sensitivity may be decreased when the
same frequency band and the same antenna are
selected during Dualwatch.
