FUNCTIONS FOR TRANSMIT

6

■Quick split function

When you find a DX station, an important consideration is how to set the split frequency.

 

 

When you push and hold the

SPLIT

switch for 1 sec.,

 

 

split frequency operation is turned ON and the trans-

 

 

mit frequency is equalized to the received frequency.

 

 

This shortens the time needed to begin split frequency

 

 

operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The quick split function is ON by default. For your con-

 

 

venience, it can be turned OFF in Others set mode.

 

 

(p. 12-12) In this case, the

SPLIT

switch does not

 

 

equalize the transmit frequency to the receive fre-

 

 

quency.

qSuppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB) in

 

VFO mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

w Push and hold SPLIT

for 1 sec.

 

 

 

• Split frequency operation is turned ON.

 

 

• The transmit frequency (unselected VFO’s readout) is

 

 

equalized to the receive frequency (selected VFO’s read-

 

 

out).

 

 

 

 

 

 

• “ F-INP” indicator appears.

then push SPLIT , or set the transmit frequency

with the main dial while pushing [XFC].

• “ F-INP” indicator appears when F-INPENTis pushed.

 

 

 

 

• Offset frequency setting with the keypad— example

 

 

To transmit on 1 kHz higher frequency:

 

 

- Push F-INPENT , 1.8

SPLIT .

 

 

To transmit on 3 kHz lower frequency:

 

 

- Push F-INPENT , GENE

XFC

The split lock function is convenient for changing only the transmit frequency. When the split lock function is not used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotating the main dial, changes the receive frequency. The split lock function is ON by default, but can be turned OFF in set mode. (p. 12-13)

qWhile split frequency operation is ON, push [LOCK] to activate the split lock function.

wWhile pushing [XFC], rotate the main dial to change the transmit frequency.

•If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating the main dial, the receive frequency does NOT change.
