FREQUENCY SETTING 3

•1 MHz quick tuning step

The quick tuning step function allows you to change the frequency in 1 MHz steps when rotating the main dial. This function is only available in FM, WFM and AM modes.

➀Select FM, WFM or AM mode if necessary.

➁Push [TS] momentarily to toggle between the 1 MHz tuning step and the programmable tuning step.

•“Z” appears above the 1 MHz indicator when the 1 MHz tuning step is selected.

•When the 1 MHz tuning step is selected, slow rotation of the main dial changes the frequency in 1 MHz steps and fast rotation of the main dial changes the frequen- cy in 5 MHz steps.

•Sub dial function

The sub dial function allows you to change the oper- ating frequency using the [M-CH] control. This gives you more control in tuning since the [M-CH] knob is detented—each click changes the frequency accord- ing to the set tuning step. This function is always available in FM, WFM and AM modes. However, in SSB, CW and RTTY modes, the set mode item “Sub dial function,” must be set to “FrEq.”

➀Push [RIT/SUB] to turn the sub dial function ON.

•The [SUB] indicator lights green; if it lights red, the RIT function is activated—sub dial function must be set in initial set mode in this case.

➁Rotate [M-CH] to change the operating frequency according to the set tuning steps.

➂Push [RIT/SUB] again to turn the function OFF.

•The [SUB] indicator turns off.
