A B Switch
Pressing this button momentarily exchanges the con-
tents of the main band (VFO-A) (or a recalled memory
channel) and the sub band (VFO-B).
V/M Switch
This button toggles main band (VFO-A) receiver op-
eration between the memory system and the VFO.
Either “VFO,” “MEM,” or “M TUNE” will be dis-
played to the left of the main frequency display field
to indicate the current selection. If you have tuned off
of a Memory channel frequency (M TUNE), pressing
this button returns the display to the original memory
contents (MEM), and pressing it once more returns
operation to the Main VFO.
M A Switch
Pressing this button momentarily displays the contents
of the currently-selected memory channel for three sec-
onds.
Holding this button in for 2 seconds copies the data
from the currently-selected memory to the Main VFO
(VFO-A), as two beeps sound. Previous data in the
Main VFO will be overwritten.
A M Switch
Pressing and holding in this key for 1/2 second (until
the double beep) copies the current operating data from
the main band (VFO-A) into the currently selected
memory channel, overwriting any previous data stored
there.
Also, pressing and holding in this button after recall-
ing a memory, without first retuning, causes the
memory channel to be “masked,” and repeating the
process restores the masked memory.
A-BUSY Indicator
This LED glows green whenever the Main band (VFO-
A) receiver squelch is open. If this indicator is not
illuminated, and reception seems to have been “lost”
on the Main receiver for no apparent reason, check
the position of the SQL control (#
, described
previously) and rotate it fully counter-clockwise to re-
store reception.
TX Indicator
This indicator glows Red during transmission.
If you attempt to transmit while operating outside of
an Amateur band, this indicator will blink Red, indi-
cating an “out of band” condition.
B-BUSY Indicator
This LED glows green whenever the Sub band (VFO-
B) receiver squelch is open. If this indicator is not
illuminated, and reception seems to have been “lost”
on the Sub receiver for no apparent reason, check the
position of the SUB (VFO-B) SQL control (#
,
described later) and rotate it fully counter-clockwise
to restore reception.
Tuning Offset Indicator
This is a tuning scale that, as configured from the fac-
tory, provides a visual CW tuning indication of the
incoming signal’s offset from your transceiver's CW
carrier frequency, as programmed by the position of
the PITCH control (#
, described previously).
SPLIT Indicator
This indicator glows Red when the “Split” mode is
engaged (with the Main and Sub bands operating on
different frequencies).
