OPERATION
SHUTTLE JOG™ R
ING
The
SHUTTLE JOG
TM
is an efficient way to achieve
large frequency excursions, avoiding the need to spin
the
MAIN VFO
Tuning Dial to move quickly from
one frequency to another.
The
SHUTTLE JOG
TM
is a spring-loaded ring used
for frequency change. Rotating the
SHUTTLE JOG
TM
ring away from its center detent in either direction will
initiate tuning. The farther the
SHUTTLE JOG
TM
ring
is moved from the center, the larger and faster the
amount of frequency change which results.
The
SHUTTLE JOG
TM
is active in the VFO mode.
When you are operating in the Memory mode, the
SHUTTLE JOG
TM
acts identically to the
MAIN VFO
Tuning Dial: activation of the
SHUTTLE JOG
T M
places the transceiver in the “Memory Tune” mode,
allowing you to tune away from a pre-stored memory
frequency.
