USING THE VFO-B
CONVENIENCE FEATURES
VFO-B operates similar to VFO-A, which you should be
familiar with by now. However, the
[
CLAR/VFO-B
]
knob,
instead of the Main Tuning Dial knob selects the frequency
for VFO-B (See box below for tuning rate). The two VFOs
make simple transmit/receive split frequency operation
possible. Use various combinations of the four VFO red
and green transmit and receive switches to set up split fre-
quency operation. The
[
SPLIT
]
button also sets up split
frequency operation. See page 69 for details about Split-
Frequency Operation
The frequency and mode data can be transferred from VFO-
A to VFO-B by pressing the
[
A
X
B
]
button, don’t forget
that this will overwrite any settings that were in VFO-B
previously. Also, the contents of the two VFOs can be
swapped (with no loss of data) by pressing the
[
A
X
W B
]
button.
Most of the interference reduction features, which are de-
scribed later, can also be used on VFO-B.
Two things you cannot do with VFO-B that you can do
with VFO-A, are store the contents of VFO-B directly into
a memory, and set the Clarifier offset. For these functions
you need to swap the VFO-B with the VFO-A by pressing
the
[
A
X
W B
]
button, then store the contents into the memory
or set the Clarifier.
