the Spectrum Scope display to change to VFO-
B. Additionally, when the optional

As the bandwidth is set narrower, the sweep
speed becomes faster, allowing the scope to cap-
ture signals with quicker resolution. The band-
width can be set to 50 %, 30 % or 10 % of the full
span. The sweep speed becomes faster by the
following amounts:
50 %: about 2 times faster
30 %: about 3 times faster
10 %: about 10 times faster
Advice
: When you enter the LBWS mode, the
function keys below the Display change.
It is possible to move the sweep position by press-
ing the [
5/10

) and [
6/14
](

If you want to return to normal operation, press
