5 ASSISTING YOUR SMOOTH QSO
SIMPLEX OPERATION
In most day to day operation, QSOs are Simplex
operations using the same frequency for reception and
transmission. For Simplex operation with this transceiver,
you will transmit and receive in the main band.
Note:
◆
The reception capability for the main band cannot be disabled.
SPLIT OPERATION
You may use the Split function that allows you to
transmit and receive using different frequencies when
you make a QSO with the DX-pedition station. For
Split operation using this transceiver, you can allocate
different frequencies for the main band and sub band;
one band is used for transmission and the other band for
FINDING THE TX FREQUENCY BY ROTATING THE
TUNING CONTROL (S)
