19FT-817ND Operating Manual
OPERATING BAND SELECTION
This transceiver covers an incredibly wide fre-
quency range, over which a number of different
operating modes are used. Therefore, this
transceiver’s frequency coverage has been di-
vided into different operating bands, each of with
has its own pre-set channel steps and operating
modes. You can change the channel steps and operating mode once you get started, of
course, per the next section.
To change the frequency band, press either the or key to move
to the next lower or higher operating band, respectively.
1) Recalling the 5 MHz band (U.S. model) requires different procedure. See page
22 for details.
2) VFOa and VFOb are independent VFOs, so they may be set to different bands. See the
“Stacked VFO System” discussion on page 21 for details.
MODE SELECTION
Press either the or key to
move among the eight settings for the operating
modes, respectively.
You can also set VFOa and VFOb to different modes in the same band, allowing
you to have a “Phone” VFO and a “CW” VFO, for example.
ADJUSTING THE AUDIO VOLUME LEVEL
Rotate the knob to set a comfortable lis-
tening level.
When operating in the “DIG” or “PKT” modes,
you may set the knob to any comfortable
setting, or even all the way off, because the out-
put from the DATA jack is a fixed-level audio signal.
Start with the knob set fully counter-clockwise, especially when using FM
(the background noise on FM can be surprisingly loud)!
