Split Operation
The split operation feature allows you to transmit a call to
a Flight Service Station using the COM band frequencies,
while receiving a VOR station (in the NAV band). VOR
stations equipped with this capability typically are shown,
on navigation charts, with the voice calling frequency in
parenthesis above the navigation frequency.
Programming a Transmit Frequency
Press the
VOLUME
knob, repeatedly if necessary, to
select the VFO mode.
Set a NAV band (108.000 - 117.975 MHz) frequency
using the
DIAL
selector knob or keypad.
Press the [
F
] key momentarily, then press the [
MW

transmit frequency will appear on the display.
Now set your radio’s transmit frequency, where the
Flight Service Station will be listening for calls, using
the
DIAL
selector knob or keypad.
Press and hold in the [
MW

onds to save the transmit frequency and return to the
NAV band frequency.
