Band Stack Operation
The FT-950 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO selection technique, that permits you to
store up to three favorite frequencies and modes onto each band’s VFO register. For
example, you may store one frequency each on 14 MHz CW, RTTY, and USB, then
recall these VFOs by successive, momentary presses of the [14] MHz band button. Each
Amateur band key may similarly have up to three frequency/mode settings applied.
Both the VFO-A and VFO-B systems have their own, independent, band stacks.
A typical setup, for the 14 MHz band, might be arranged like this:
1. Program 14.025 MHz
，
CW Mode, then press the [14] MHz band button;
2. Program 14.080 MHz
，
RTTY Mode, then press the [14] MHz band button;
3. Program 14.195 MHz, SSB Mode, then press the [14] MHz band button.
