(VFO-A) frequency display fields.
Example 2: Enter 7.100.000 MHz into the Sub band (VFO-B):
1. Press the [B] button.
2. Within five seconds (blinking the imbedded orange LED) of pressing the [B] button,
press the [ENT] button to engage the direct frequency entry process. Now,
beginning with the “10 MHz” digit of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we will
enter the required digits of the frequency to be entered into the Sub band (VFO-B)
register.
3. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency, using the [BAND] buttons
(which have the frequency-entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[21/7]

[1.8/1] [50/0]

4. Press the [ENT] button once more. A short “beep” will confirm that the frequency
entry was successful, and the new operating frequency will appear on the Sub
(VFO-B) frequency display fields.
Advice: If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the operating range of 30 kHz ~ 60
MHz, the microprocessor will ignore the attempt, and you will be returned to your
previous operating frequency. If this happens, please try again, taking care not to
repeat the error in the frequency entry process.
Using the [SUB VFO-B] knob
You may change the Main band (VFO-A) frequency in 1 MHz steps. If you press the
(VFO-A) [BAND] button, the 1 MHz steps will be applied to the Main band (VFO-A)
frequency. The imbedded LED in the (VFO-A) [BAND] button will glow Red in the
latter case.
When tuning in 1 MHz steps, clockwise rotation of the [SUB VFO-B] knob will increase
the frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will decrease the frequency.
Using the UP/DOWN switches of the optional MD-200A8X Base Station Microphone
The UP/DOWN switches on the optional MD-200A8X Base Station Microphone may
also be used for manually scanning upward or downward in frequency, respectively.
The microphone’s UP/DOWN switches utilize the tuning steps of the Main Tuning Dial
knob; moreover, when the microphone’s [FAST] key is pressed, the tuning rate
increases by a factor of ten, in a manner similar to the effect of the transceiver’s
front-panel [FAST] button.
