SELECTING THE OPERATING BAND
 Press the
[
BAND
(

key repetitively. You will
see the LCD indication move toward a higher frequency
band each time you press the
[
BAND
(
BAND DN
)]
key.

250 MHz  350 MHz 
430 MHz  850 MHz
……
 If you wish to move the operating band selection down-
ward (toward a lower frequency band), press the
[
F/W

 Once you have selected the desired band, you
may initiate manual tuning (or scanning) per
the discussion in the next chapter.
FREQUENCY NAVIGATION
The FT-60R/E will initially be operating in the “VFO” mode, a channelized system which
allows free tuning throughout the currently-selected operating band.
Three basic frequency navigation methods are available on the FT-60R/E:

Tuning Dial
Rotation of the DIAL allows tuning in the pre-programmed
steps established for the current operating band. Clockwise
rotation of the DIAL causes the FT-60R/E to be tuned to-
ward a higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation
will lower the operating frequency.
If you press the
[
F/W
]
key momentarily, then rotate the
DIAL, frequency steps of 1 MHz will be selected. This fea-
ture is extremely useful for making rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning range
of the FT-60R/E.
