Setting a frequency
q
Select VFO mode with [V/M].
w
Select the desired band with [BAND].
e
Rotate [DIAL] to change the frequency.
• The frequency changes according to the preset tuning steps. See
the right section for selecting the tuning step.
• Rotate [DIAL] while pushing [FUNC] to change the frequency in 1
MHz steps (default; p. 29).
The 1 MHz tuning step (dial select step) can be set to 100
kHz, 1 MHz or 10 MHz tuning steps in set mode. See p. 29
for details.
