GENERAL COVERAGE RECEPTION

You may have already noticed that if you tune out- side one of the amateur bands (actually, outside of the 500-kHz segment that includes each band), “GEN” appears in a box at the left side of the display. On such frequencies, the transmitter and antenna tuner are dis- abled. If you try to transmit, “TRANSMIT” will blink. This confirms that transmission has been inhibited by the microprocessor.

Also, such frequencies are ignored by the band selection keys, so if you tune a VFO to a frequency outside of a ham band, you will have to store it in a memory (as described on page 64) if you want to be able to recall it quickly later. Otherwise, as soon as you press a band key, the general coverage frequency will be lost as the VFO reverts to the (ham-band) frequency it was on when the band was last changed.

Once you become familiar with the memories, you will find this really doesn’t present a problem, as each memory can be tuned just like a VFO, and stored into another channel without having to go through a VFO.

Aside from the above, general coverage reception provides all of the features available on ham frequen- cies, including dual channel reception, digital modes, and diversity reception, described on the following pages. A wealth of interesting broadcasts can be found outside the amateur bands, including:

International Shortwave Bands (see table) Maritime & Aeronautical Communications News Services & Diplomatic/Embassy Traffic Military Communications

While tuning outside an amateur band, you may find the UP(p) and DOWN(q) keys (below the key- pad) to be extremely valuable for quick frequency change. The 100 kHz steps provided by these keys are ideal for moving quickly through, for example, the 15 MHz international AM broadcast band.

Note Regarding

AM Broadcast Reception

In many countries, broadcast stations in the Stan- dard AM Broadcast Band are separated by a spac- ing of 9 kHz. The VFO Channel mode of operation can be highly useful in this case, as you can set the VFO channel step size to 9 kHz. Use the Main VFO-A knob to set a starting frequency, then press and hold in the VRF/MEM CH knob for ½ second.

If “9 kHz” has been set via menu selection 1-5, you can now use the VRF/MEM CH knob to tune through the broadcast band in the desired 9 kHz steps.
