VFO mode is used for the desired frequency setting within the frequency coverage.

➥Push [V/M•S.MW•~] to select VFO mode.

Memory mode is used for the desired frequency setting within the frequency coverage.

➥Push [V/M•S.MW•~] to select memory mode.

•See p. 16 for memory programming details.

What is VFO?

VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscillator. Fre- quencies for receiving are generated and controlled by the VFO.

■Operating band selection

The receiver can receive the AM broadcast, HF band, 50 MHz, FM broadcast, VHF air, 144 MHz, 300 MHz, 400 MHz, 800 MHz,* 1200 MHz, television channels or Weather channels†.

➥Push [BAND•] several times to select the desired fre- quency band.

•When a memory mode is selected, push [V/M•S.MW•~] to se-

lect VFO mode first, then push [BAND•] to select the de- sired band.

➥While pushing and holding [BAND•], rotating [DIAL] also selects frequency band.
