Advice: When the optional YF-122C (500 Hz) or YF-122CN (300 Hz) CW narrow filter 
is installed, activate the narrow filter while the [NAR] switch has been engaged on the 
CW/RTTY/PSK mode. 
In the AM mode, this button is used to toggle the receiver’s bandwidth between wide (9 
kHz) and narrow (6 kHz). 
In the FM mode on the 28 MHz and 50 MHz bands, this button is used to toggle the 
FM deviation/bandwidth between wide (

±

5.0 kHz Dev./25.0 kHz BW) and narrow (

±

2.5 

kHz Dev./12.5 kHz BW). 
Pressing the [A] or [B] button (located above the MODE selection buttons) will select 
either the Main band (VFO-A) or Sub band (VFO-B) for individual bandwidth setting. 
 
33. SPLIT Switch 
Pressing this button to activates split frequency operation between the Main band 
(VFO-A), used for transmission and Sub band (VFO-B), used for reception. If you press 
and hold in the [SPLIT] button for two seconds, the “Quick Split” feature will be 
engaged, whereby the Sub band VFO (VFO-B) will automatically be set to a frequency 
5 kHz higher than the Main band (VFO-A) frequency with same operating mode, and 
the transceiver will be placed in the Split mode. 
 
34. TXW “TX Watch” Switch 
Pressing this button lets you monitor the transmit frequency when split frequency 
operation is engaged. Release the button to return to normal operation. 
 
35. C.S Switch 
Press this button momentarily to recall a favorite Menu Selection directly. 
To program a Menu selection as the short-cut, press the [MENU] button to enter the 
Menu, then select the Menu item you want to set as the short-cut. Now press and hold 
in the [C.S] button for two seconds; this will lock in the selected Menu item as the 
short-cut. 
 
36. RX Indicator/Switch 
This button, when pressed, engages the Main band (VFO-A) receiver; the LED inside 
this button will glow Green when the Main receiver is active. 
When the Main (VFO-A) receiver is active, pressing this button momentarily will mute 
the receiver, and the indicator will blink. Pressing the button once more will restore 
receiver operation, and the indicator will glow Green steadily.
