VFO Tracking Feature
In the default setting, the VFO-A frequency and VFO-B
frequency are changed individually using the Main Tun-
ing Dial knob and the [
CLAR
(
VFO-B

ture:

VFO-B

RX

seconds. This provides a “Short-cut” to Menu item “
038
GENE TRACK
”.
2. Rotate the (
VFO-B
)[
SELECT
] knob to select the de-
sired Tracking mode.
OFF
:
Disables the VFO Tracking feature.
BAND

the VFO-B band will automatically change to
be the same band as VFO-A.
FREQ

and will additionally “lock” VFO-A and VFO-
B together. Turning the Main Dial will tune both
VFO-A and VFO-B simultaneously.
3. Press and hold in the (
VFO-B
)[
RX
] button for two
seconds to lock in the new configuration and exit to
