[TX] switch “ON” (LED glows Red)
During Split operation, the Main (VFO-A) register will be used for reception, while the
Sub (VFO-B) register will be used for transmission. If you press the [SPLIT] button
once more, Split operation will be cancelled.
You may also press the [TX] switch located above and to the left of the Main Tuning
Dial knob to return transmit frequency control to the Main (VFO-A) side, and thereby
cancel Split operation.
Advice:
During normal (non-split) VFO-A operation, you may simply press the Sub (VFO-B)
[TX] switch (located above and to the right of the [SUB VFO-B] knob) to engage
Split operation. The Sub [TX] indicator will glow Red when you press the switch.
During Split operation, pressing the [A<>B] button will reverse the contents of the
Main and Sub VFOs. Press the [A<>B] button once more to return to the original
frequency alignment.
During Split operation, if you press the [RX] switch above and to the right of the
[SUB VFO-B] knob, you will engage Dual Receive operation, and now can listen to
both sides of the DX pile-up, while transmitting on the Sub (VFO-B) frequency. This
is very useful for maintaining the timing of your calls, while also monitoring both
sides of the pile-up.
During Split operation, you may also listen the TX frequency temporarily while
pressing the [TXW] button (below and to the left of the Main Tuning Dial knob).
It is possible to set different operating modes (for example, LSB and USB) on the
two VFOs used during Split operation.
During Split operation, it also is possible to set the Main and Sub VFOs to different
Amateur bands.
Quick Split Operation
The Quick Split feature allows you to set a one-touch offset of +5 kHz to be applied to
your radio’s transmit frequency on the Sub (VFO-B), compared to the Main (VFO-A)
frequency.
1. Start with regular transceiver operation on the Main (VFO-A) band.
