PERATION

ETTING

THE

PERATING

REQUENCY

1. In the “

SSB

DIG

” modes, rotate the

knob to set the frequency. Clockwise

rotation of the

knob increases the op-

erating frequency.

2. In the “

PKT

” modes, rotate the

knob to set the frequency. Clockwise rotation of the

knob increases the operating

frequency.

3. You may also use the

knob to adjust the operating frequency in the “

SSB

DIG

” modes. The

knob provides faster tuning, ideal for making quick changes in

frequency when you want to move across the band in a hurry. You can then use the

knob to make fine frequency adjustments.

4. If you press the

knob momentarily, then rotate the

knob, you can now

change the operating frequency in 1 MHz steps, allowing very quick frequency excur-
sions. This can be particularly helpful on the VHF and UHF bands.

5. In step 2 above, it was mentioned that tuning in the “

PKT

” modes is accom-

plished using the

knob. By default, the

knob is disabled in these modes; if

you wish to enable the

knob in these modes, use Menu #04; see page 60.

6. The synthesizer steps for the

knob may be adjusted independently by mode. Use

Menu #06 for AM, #30 for FM, and #47 for SSB/CW/Digital. See pages 60, 64, and 67
for details.

The main

knob synthesizer’s tuning rate (the number of steps per rotation

of the

knob) can be adjusted using Menu #33. See page 65 for details.

TACKED

VFO S

YSTEM

1. Press the

key momentarily, then rotate the

knob, as needed, until Operating

Function Row 1 [

A=B

SPL

] appears on the display.

2. Now press the

(

) key to toggle between the “

” and “

” VFOs. There are two

such VFOs provided on each Amateur band, so you may set VFO-A to the CW sub-
band, and VFO-B to the SSB sub-band, if you like. The operating mode will be pre-
served, along with the frequency information, on each VFO.
