Keyboard Frequency Entry
You may enter operating frequencies, for either the Main
(VFO-A) or Sub (VFO-B) bands, using the front panel
band/frequency selection keys.
Example 1:
Enter 14.250.00 MHz into the Main (VFO-A) band:
1. Press the [ ENT
] key 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.
2. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the [ BAND
] keys (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 1/1.8
] [
4/7
] [
./50
] [
2/3.5
] [
5/10
]
[ 0/28
] [

0/28

0/28
]
The decimal point after the “MHz” portion of the fre-
quency must be entered, but no decimal point is re-
quired after the “kHz” portion.
3. Press the [
ENT
] key once more. A short “beep” will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the Main
(VFO-A) frequency display fields.
Example 2:
Enter 7.100.000 MHz into the Sub (VFO-B) band:
1. Press the [
B
] key.
2. Press the [ ENT
] key 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
] keys ( which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[
7/18
] [
./50

1/1.8
] [

4. Press the [
ENT
] key once more. A short “beep” will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the Main
(VFO-A) frequency display fields.

You may change the Main band (VFO-A) frequency in 1
MHz steps. If you first press
and hold in the [
BAND/
MHz
] key for two seconds,
the 1 MHz steps will be ap-
plied to the Sub band (VFO-
B) instead. The imbedded
LED in the [
BAND/MHz
]
key will glow Red in the lat-
ter case.
When tuning in 1 MHz steps, clockwise rotation of the
[
CLAR/VFO-B
] knob will increase the frequency, while
counter-clockwise rotation will cecrease the frequency.

The [ UP

the optional MD-200A8X Base
Station Microphone may also be
used for manually scanning upward
or downward in frequency, respec-
tively.
The microphone’s [ UP

]
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 fac-
tor of ten, in a manner similar to the effect of the
transceiver’s front-panel [
FAST
] key.

In the above examples, you will notice that the trailing “zero” digits of the frequency were not entered. It is not
necessary to enter these trailing zeroes; just press the [
ENT
] to terminate frequency entry, and they will be
entered automatically.
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.

In the AM and FM modes, you may independently
set the tuning steps when using the [
UP

]
switches. To set new tuning steps, use Menu items
“
TUNING 142 AM CH STEP ” and “ TUNING
143 FM CH STEP .”
