Operation
Setting the Operating Frequency
1. In the “SSB/CW/DIG” modes, rotate the
knob to set the frequency. Clockwise rotation
of the
knob increases the operating fre-
quency.
2. In the “AM/FM/PKT” modes, rotate the
knob to set the frequency. Clockwise rotation of
the
knob increases the operating frequency.
3. You may also use the
knob to adjust the operating frequency in the “SSB/CW/
DIG” modes. The
knob provides faster tuning, ideal for making quick changes
in frequency when you want to move across the band in a hurry. You can then use the
knob to make ne frequency adjustments.
4. If you press the
knob momentarily, then rotate the knob, you can now
change the operating frequency in 1 MHz steps, allowing very quick frequency excur-
sions. This can be particularly helpful on the VHF and UHF bands.
5. In step 2 above, it was mentioned that tuning in the “AM/FM/PKT” modes is accom-
plished using the
knob. By default, the knob is disabled in these modes; if
you wish to enable the
knob in these modes, use Menu #04; see page 54.
6. The synthesizer steps for the
knob may be adjusted independently by mode. Use
Menu #06 for AM, #30 for FM, and #47 for SSB/CW/Digital. See pages 54, 58, and
61 for details.
The main
knob synthesizer’s tuning rate (the number of steps per rotation of
the
knob) can be adjusted using Menu #33. See page 59 for details.
Stacked VFO System
1. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the knob, as needed, until Operating
Function Row 1 [A/B, A=B, SPL] appears on the display.
2. Now press the
(A/B) key to toggle between the “A” and “B” VFOs. There are two
such VFOs provided on each Amateur band, so you may set VFO-A to the CW sub-
band, and VFO-B to the SSB sub-band, if you like. The operating mode will be pre-
served, along with the frequency information, on each VFO.
