Direct Frequency Entry
In addition to rotating the Selector (or pressing [UP]/ [DOWN]), there is another way to select the frequency. When the desired frequency is far away from the current frequency, you can directly enter a frequency using the numeric keypad.
1Press [VFO].
•You must be in the VFO Mode to make the direct frequency entry.
2Press [#].
3Press the numeric keys ([0] to [9]) to enter your desired frequency. [
] allows you to complete the MHz digits entry.
•Pressing [#] fills all remaining digits (the digits you did not enter) with 0 and completes the entry. For example, to select 145.000 MHz, press [1], [4], and [5], then press [#] to complete the entry.
•If you want to revise the MHz digits only, leaving the kHz digits as they are, press [VFO] in place of [#].
Note:
◆If the entered frequency does not match the current frequency step size, the frequency is automatically rounded down to the next available frequency.
◆When the desired frequency cannot be entered exactly, confirm the frequency step size {page 58}.
◆If you rotate the Selector (or press [UP]/ [DOWN]) while entering the frequency, the transceiver clears the entry.
