Tips
• In factory settings, the Auto Step mode is set such that the transceiver is automatically switched to
the optimal frequency steps for the reception frequency.
You can change frequency steps manually using
O
(See page 37).
• If you enter a wrong digit when entering a frequency using numeric keys, you can cancel it by
pressing
p
.
• In factory settings, turning
O
beyond the selected frequency band does not change the selected
frequency band to another frequency band and displays the selected frequency band repeatedly on
the LCD.
To prevent it, press and hold
M
for over 1 second to switch to the Set mode, select [8 CONFIG]
[21 VFO MODE] and change the [21 VFO MODE] to “ALL”. Thereby, you can change the frequency
band to another frequency band by turning
O
beyond the selected frequency band.
Selecting Communication Mode
This transceiver can operate in both analog and digital communication modes.
