of 4 groups in expanded set mode.
See p. 31 for details.
■
RIT function
To compensate for the off frequency of a transmitting station,
the transceiver has receive incremental tuning for receiving
frequencies above 835 MHz.
The receive incremental tuning (RIT) shifts only the receive
frequency within approx. ±5 kHz at 850 MHz and ±7 kHz at
1300 MHz.
q
Set an operating frequency above 835 MHz.
w
Push [FUNC] + [BAND] to turn the RIT function ON.
• “RIT” appears.
e
While pushing [FUNC], rotate [DIAL] to adjust the shift fre-
quency.
• –5 to 5 appear at the memory chan-
nel readout while setting the shift
frequency.
r
To cancel the function, push
[FUNC] + [BAND] to turn the RIT
function ON.
• “RIT” disappears.
While the RIT function is in use, the dial select step cannot
be used. (pgs. 7, 29)
