Operation
Setting the Operating Frequency
1. In the “
SSB
/
CW
/
DIG
” modes, rotate the
knob to set the frequency. Clockwise rotation
of the
knob increases the operating fre-
quency.
2. In the “
AM
/
FM
/
PKT
” modes, rotate the
knob to set the frequency. Clockwise rotation of
the
knob increases the operating frequency.
3. You may also use the
knob to adjust the operating frequency in the “
SSB
/
CW
/
DIG
” modes. The
knob provides faster tuning, ideal for making quick changes
in frequency when you want to move across the band in a hurry. You can then use the
knob to make fine frequency adjustments.
4. If you press the
knob momentarily, then rotate the
knob, you can now
change the operating frequency in 1 MHz steps, allowing very quick frequency excur-
sions. This can be particularly helpful on the VHF and UHF bands.
5. In step 2 above, it was mentioned that tuning in the “
AM
/
FM
/
PKT
” modes is accom-
plished using the
knob. By default, the
knob is disabled in these modes; if
you wish to enable the
knob in these modes, use Menu #04; see page 54.
6. The synthesizer steps for the
knob may be adjusted independently by mode. Use
Menu #06 for AM, #30 for FM, and #47 for SSB/CW/Digital. See pages 54, 58, and
61 for details.
The main
knob synthesizer’s tuning rate (the number of steps per rotation of
the
knob) can be adjusted using Menu #33. See page 59 for details.
Stacked VFO System
1. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the
knob, as needed, until Operating
Function Row 1 [A/B, A=B, SPL] appears on the display.
2. Now press the
(A/B) key to toggle between the “A” and “B” VFOs. There are two
such VFOs provided on each Amateur band, so you may set VFO-A to the CW sub-
band, and VFO-B to the SSB sub-band, if you like. The operating mode will be pre-
served, along with the frequency information, on each VFO.
