[(VFO-B)RX] Indicator/Switch: “OFF” (LED Off)

Quick Points:
 The operating mode applied to the VFO-B register will be the same as that in use
on the VFO-A register.
 The offset of the VFO-B from the VFO-A is programmed via the Menu, and is set to
+5 kHz at the factory. Other offsets may be selected, however, using the following
procedure:
1. Press the [MENU] button to engage the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the [SELECT] knob to select Menu item “030 GENE Q SPLIT”.
Advice: Press the [SELECT] knob to toggle the Menu item display between “030
GENE” and “Q SPLIT”.
3. Rotate the [SELECT] knob to select the desired offset. The available selections are
–20kHz ~ +20kHz (factory default: +5 kHz).
4. Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
CW Mode Operation
The powerful CW operating capabilities of the FT-950 include operation using both an
electronic keyer paddle and a “straight key” or emulation thereof, as is provided by a
computer-based keying device.
Setup for Straight Key (and Straight Key emulation) Operation
Before starting, connect your key line(s) to the front and/or rear panel [KEY] jack(s),
and be sure the [KEYER] button on the left side of the front panel is turned off for now.
1. Press the [CW] mode button to engage CW operation. The “CW” and “USB” icons
will appear in the display. And the “MONI” icon will also appear in the display;
thus the CW monitor is activated.
Advice: If you press the [CW] button once more, after initially selecting CW, you
will engage the “CW Reverse” mode (see page ??), whereby the “opposite” sideband
injection is used, compared to the “normal” sideband. The “CW” and “LSB” icons
