ECEPTION
Frequency Display and Band Change
If the transceiver has not been used before, the display will
look something like this:
We call the
upper
frequency the “main” band, and the
lower
frequency the “sub” band. Transmission is possible only on
the “main” band, but you can select both bands to receive
different frequencies
on the same band
(V-V or U-U opera-
tion, described later).
To change the “main” band between VHF and UHF, simply
press the [
BAND
] key momentarily (default: “main” band is
VHF, “sub” band is UHF).
Main Dial Tuning
This mode is used for choosing a frequency within the “main” band.
In the “VFO” mode, the
Main Dial
knob and microphone [
UP
]
/
[
DWN
] buttons allow the
Variable Frequency Oscillator (VFO) to tune in the selected step size. When scanning in the
VFO mode, the same step sizes are used as in manual tuning.
To select the 1 MHz range in which you wish to operate, press the [
MHz
] key momentarily,
then rotate the
Main Dial
knob. All the “MHz” digits of the frequency display will blink
while “1 MHz Tuning” is enabled. Press the [
MHz
] key again (momentarily), then rotate the
Main Dial
knob to tune around the “main” band in the normal synthesizer step.
To select the 10 MHz range in which you wish to operate (if you are making a major frequency
change, for example), press and hold in the [
MHz
] key for 1/2 second, then rotate the
Main
Dial
knob. The 10 MHz and 100 MHz digits of the frequency display will blink while “10 MHz
Tuning” is enabled. Press and hold in the [
MHz
] key again (for more than 1/2 second), then
rotate the
Main Dial
knob to tune around the “main” band in the normal synthesizer step.
Direct Keypad Frequency Entry
(Requires
MH-48
A6J
)
The desired operating frequency may be entered directly from the microphone’s keypad.
To enter a frequency from the keypad, just press the numbered digits on the keypad in the
proper sequence. To round all digits to the right of the current digit to “0,” press the [
#
] key.
