Keyboard Frequency Entry
You may enter operating frequencies, for either the VFO-
A or VFO-B, using the front panel band/frequency selec-
tion keys.
Example 1:
Enter 14.250.00 MHz into the VFO-A:
1. Press the A key (#
).
2. Press the ENT key (#
) to engage the direct fre-
quency entry process. Now, beginning with the “10
MHz” digit of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we
will enter the required digits of the frequency.
3. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the BAND keys (#
: which have the fre-
quency-entry digit or decimal point on the right side
of the slash bar). In this example, enter
1/1.8
4/7
./50
2/3.5
5/10
0/28
0/28
0/28
0/28
The decimal point after the “MHz” portion of the fre-
quency must be entered, but no decimal point is re-
quired after the “kHz” portion.
4. Press the ENT key once more. A short “beep” will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the VFO-
A frequency display fields.
Example 2:
Enter 7.100.000 MHz into the VFO-B:
1. Press the B key (#
).
2. Press the ENT key (#
) to engage the direct fre-
quency entry process. Now, beginning with the “10
MHz” digit of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we
will enter the required digits of the frequency to be
entered into the VFO-B register.
3. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the BAND keys (#
: which have the fre-
quency-entry digit or decimal point on the right side
of the slash bar). In this example, enter
7/18
./50
1/1.8
0/28
0/28
0/28
0/28
0/28
4. Press the ENT key once more. A short “beep” will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the VFO-
A frequency display fields.
Advice
In the above examples, you will notice that the trail-
ing “zero” digits of the frequency were not entered. It
is not necessary to enter these trailing zeroes; just press
the ENT to terminate frequency entry, and they will
be entered automatically.
If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the operat-
ing range of 30 kHz ~ 60 MHz, the microprocessor
will ignore the attempt, and you will be returned to
your previous operating frequency. If this happens,
please try again, taking care not to repeat the error in
the frequency entry process.
Using the CLAR/VFO-B knob (#
), you may
change the VFO-A fre-
quency in 1 MHz steps.
If you first press and hold
in the BAND/MHz
key (#
) for two sec-
onds, the 1 MHz steps
will be applied to the
VFO-B instead. The im-
bedded LED in the BAND/MHz key will glow Red
in the latter case.
When tuning in 1 MHz steps, clockwise rotation of the
CLAR/VFO-B know will increase the frequency, while
counter-clockwise rotation will decrease the frequency.
Using the UP/DOWN switches of the optional
MD-200A8X Base Station Microphone
The UP/DOWN switches on the
optional MD-200
A8X
Base Station
Microphone may also be used for
manually scanning upward or
downward in frequency, respec-
tively.
The microphone’s UP/DOWN
switches utilize the tuning steps of
t h e M a i n Tu n i n g D i a l
knob(#
); moreover, when the
microphone’s [FAST] key is pressed, the tuning rate in-
creases by a factor of ten, in a manner similar to the effect
of the transceiver’s front-panel FAST key (#
).

Advice
In the Am and FM modes, you may independently set the
tuning steps when using the UP/DOWN switches. To set
new tuning steps, use Menu items “

” and “
TUNING 133 FM CH STEP
.”
