Kenwood TH-D7A instruction manual Changing Frequency Step Size, Programmable VFO

CHANGING FREQUENCY STEP SIZE

1Choosing the correct step size is essential in order to select your exact receive frequency using the Tuning

2control or [UP]/ [DWN]. The default step size on the

3VHF band is 5 kHz (TH-D7A) or 12.5 kHz (TH-D7E).

4The default on the UHF band is 25 kHz no matter which market version.

22Note: Changing between step sizes may correct the displayed

frequency. For example, if 144.995 MHz is displayed with a 5 kHz step

23size selected, changing to a 12.5 kHz step size corrects the displayed frequency to 144.9875 MHz.

PROGRAMMABLE VFO

If you always check frequencies within a certain range, set upper and lower limits for frequencies that are selectable using the Tuning control or [UP]/ [DWN]. For example, if you select 145 MHz for the lower limit and 146 MHz for the upper limit, the tunable range will be from 145.000 MHz to 146.995 MHz.

1Press [A/B] to select band A or B.

•If necessary, press [F], [A/B] to recall the sub-band.

2Press [VFO].

3Press [F], [7] to select “F–7 (PROGRAM VFO)”.

•The current lower frequency limit blinks.

4Press [UP]/ [DWN] to select the desired lower frequency limit.

Note:

◆You cannot program the 100 kHz and subsequent digits.

◆The exact 100 kHz and subsequent digits of the upper limit depend on the frequency step size selected.
