Kenwood TH-F6A, TH-F7E Activating Fine Tuning, Selecting a Fine Tuning Frequency Step

10 UTILIZING THE B-BAND

FINE TUNING

When you operate the B-band in LSB, USB, CW, or AM mode, you can turn the Fine Tuning function ON. You can further configure the Fine Tuning frequency step size from 33 Hz, 100 Hz (default), 500 Hz, or 1000 Hz.

ACTIVATING FINE TUNING

To activate the Fine Tuning function:

1Press [VFO].

2Select a frequency (below 470 MHz) on the B-band.

•The operating mode must be LSB, USB, CW or AM.

3Press [FINE].

•100 Hz digit appears.

4Turn the Tuning control or press []/ [] to tune to a station.

Note:

◆The Fine Tuning function works only when you operate the frequency below 470 MHz.

◆You cannot activate the Fine Tuning function on the A-band.

◆The Fine Tuning function does not work in FM mode (FM/ WFM/ NFM).

◆While in Fine Tuning mode, you cannot change the frequency step size {page 37}, MHz mode {page 7}, and MHz Scan {page 23}.

◆When you perform the Visual Scan {page 26} or direct frequency entry (excluding the same frequency band) {page 7}, the transceiver exits Fine Tuning mode.

◆Simply turning the Fine Tuning function OFF will not change the current frequency or display. However, when you change the frequency, the transceiver will use the currently selected frequency step size {page 37} and adjust the frequency accordingly, removing the transceiver from a finely tuned frequency.

■Selecting a Fine Tuning Frequency Step

You can select Fine Tuning frequency step from 33 Hz, 100 Hz (default), 500 Hz, or 1000 Hz.
