5FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE

■RIT function

The RIT (Receive Incremental Tuning) function com- pensates for communicating stations off-frequency. The function shifts the receive frequency up to ±9.999 kHz in 1 Hz steps (10 Hz steps when cancelling the 1 Hz step readout) without moving the transmit fre- quency.

q Push [PBT/M-ch/RIT]momentarily to select the M- ch/RIT function, if the twin PBT is selected.

• [PBT/M-ch/RIT]indicator (Green) goes out.

w Push [PBT/M-ch/RIT]for 1 sec. to enter the RIT/∂TX mode.

e Push [F-1RIT] to turn the RIT function ON.

•“” indicator and the frequency shift appear and [PBT/M-ch/RIT]indicator lights orange when the func-

tion is ON.

r Rotate [RIT] (outer) control to compensate for off- frequency stations.

•The transmit frequency is not shifted.

t To reset the RIT frequency, push [F-3CLR] for 1 sec.

•Push [F-3CLR] momentarily to reset the RIT fre- quency when “Quick RIT/∂TX Clear” in the miscellaneous (others) set mode is ON. (p. 135)

y To cancel the RIT function, push [F-1RIT] mo- mentarily again.

•“” indicator disappears.

u Push [Z(MENU/GRP)] to exit the RIT/∂TX mode.

When RIT and ∂TX are ON at the same time, the

[RIT] (outer) control shifts both the transmit and re-

ceive frequencies from the displayed frequency at the same time.

•Calculate function

The shift frequency of the RIT (or ∂TX) function can be added/subtracted to the displayed frequency.

While displaying the RIT (and/or ∂TX) shift fre- quency, push and hold [F-1RIT] (or [F-2∂TX]) for 1 sec.

Push and hold

•Practical example

When you find a DX station on 21.025 MHz/CW and the station is picking up stations transmitting slightly up from 21.025 MHz.

q Push [F-1RIT] and [F-2∂TX] to turn both the

RIT and ∂TX functions ON.

w Rotate [RIT] (outer) to find the DX station’s re- ceive frequency.

e When you find the DX station’s receive frequency, push [F-1RIT] to turn the RIT function OFF.

•Now you can transmit the DX station’s receive fre- quency and receive on the DX station’s transmit fre- quency (21.025 MHz).

r Start transmitting when the station stands by for new callers.
