Frequency calibration
(approximate)
A very accurate frequency counter is required to cali-
brate the frequency of the transceiver. However, a
rough check may be performed by receiving radio sta-
tion WWV, or other standard frequency signals.
CAUTION:
Your transceiver has been thoroughly
adjusted and checked at the factory before being
shipped. You should not calibrate frequencies, ex-
cept for special reasons.
q
Push [SSB] to select USB mode.
w
Push [PBT CLR] for 2 sec. to clear the PBT set-
tings and make sure that the RIT/
∂
TX function is
not activated.
e
Set the frequency to the standard frequency sta-
tion minus 1 kHz.
• When receiving WWV (10.000.00 MHz) as a standard
frequency, set the operating frequency for 9.999.00
MHz.
• Other standard frequencies can also be used.
r
Push [EXIT] one or more times to close a multi-
function screen, if necessary.
t
Push [(F-5)SET] to select the set mode screen.
y
Push [(F-4)OTHERS] to enter miscellaneous (oth-

] several times to select the “Calibra-
tion marker” item.
i
Rotate the tuning dial clockwise to turn the calibra-
tion marker ON.
• Side tone may be heard.
o
Adjust the calibration pot on the right side panel of
the transceiver for a zero beat with the received
standard signal as shown below.
• Zero beat means that two signals are exactly the same
frequency, resulting in a single tone being emitted.
!0
Rotate the tuning dial counterclockwise to turn the
calibration marker OFF.
!1
