The
FT-60R
will initially be operating in the “VFO” mode, a channelized system which
allows free tuning throughout the currently-selected operating band.
Three basic frequency navigation methods are available on the
FT-60R
:

)
Tuning Dial
Rotation of the
DIAL
allows tuning in the pre-programmed
steps established for the current operating band. Clockwise
rotation of the
DIAL
causes the
FT-60R
to be tuned toward
a higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will
lower the operating frequency.
If you press the [
F/W
] key momentarily, then rotate the
DIAL
,
frequency steps of 1 MHz will be selected. This feature is
extremely useful for making rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning range of the
FT-60R
.
