PERATION
When operating on an Amateur Band, it is possible to use the [ BAND
] button to engage the [
CLAR/VFO-B
] knob for
Amateur band selection. The “My Bands” feature allows you to skip some Amateur bands, and make only your preferred
bands available for selection via the [ CLAR/VFO-B
] knob.
This feature can be very useful in a contest, where the 10/18/24 MHz bands are not used, or if you do not have antennas for
some bands.
