In addition to turning the Tuning control or pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN], there are several other ways
to select your frequency. This section describes additional methods of frequency selection that may save you time and effort.
Q 'LUHFW)UHTXHQF\(QWU\
When the desired frequency is far removed from the current frequency, directly entering a frequency from the numeric keypad is usually the fastest method.
1Press [ENT].
• “ -
2Press the numeric keys ([50 (0)] to [28 (9)]) to enter your desired frequency.
•Pressing [ENT] at any time fills the remaining digits (the digits you did not enter) with 0 and completes the entry.
To select 1.85 MHz for example, press [ENT], [50 (0)], [1.8 (1)], [24 (8)], [14 (5)], then press [ENT] to complete the input (6 key strokes).
•Pressing [CLR] before pressing [ENT] cancels the entry and restores the current VFO frequency.
Note:
XYou can enter a frequency in the range of 30.00 kHz to 59.999.99 MHz. Refer to the specifications for the available frequency range.
XAttempting to enter a frequency that is outside the selectable frequency range causes an alarm to sound and the entered frequency is rejected.
XWhen the entered frequency does not meet the current VFO frequency step size requirement, the nearest available frequency is automatically selected after the entered frequency is changed.
XWhen the 10 Hz digit (last displayed digit) is entered, the digit 0 is automatically entered for the 1 Hz digit, and frequency entry is completed. The 1 Hz digit is not displayed.
XWhen an entered frequency is accepted, RIT or XIT will be switched OFF, but the RIT or XIT offset frequency is not cleared.
Q )UHTXHQF\(QWU\+LVWRU\
The last 10 frequencies you entered are stored in the Frequency Entry History. You can access the history to easily
1Press [ENT].
2Turn the MULTI/CH control.
•The entered frequency along with its log number appears. The most recent entered frequency is logged as number E0 and the oldest frequency is logged as number E9.
3Press [ENT] to set the selected frequency to the VFO.
Note: When entering a frequency using the numeric keys, if you turn the MULTI/CH control in the middle of the frequency entry, the frequency will be entered into the log.
Q 8VLQJWKH0+]NH\
You can use the MULTI/CH control to change the operating frequency in steps of 1 MHz.
1Press [MHz].
• “
” appears.
2Turn the MULTI/CH control.
•Clockwise increases the frequency and
3Press [MHz] again to exit.
• “
” disappears.
If you prefer to change the frequency in steps of 100 kHz or 500 kHz, rather than 1 MHz, access Menu No. 10 and select 100 kHz, 500 kHz, or 1 MHz.
Note: Even if 100 kHz or 500 kHz is assigned for the [MHz] key, “
” appears on the display.
Q 4XLFN46<
To move up or down the frequency quickly, use the MULTI/CH control. Turning this control changes the operating frequency in steps of 5 kHz for SSB/ CW/ FSK/ AM and steps of 10 kHz for FM.
•If you want to change the default frequency step size, access Menu No. 14 (SSB/CW/FSK), 15 (AM), or 16 (FM). Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG. SEL)] to select 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 5 kHz, or 10 kHz for SSB/ CW/ FSK, and 5 kHz, 6.25 kHz, 10 kHz, 12.5 kHz, 15 kHz, 20 kHz, 25 kHz, 30 kHz, 50 kHz, or 100 kHz for AM/ FM. The default frequency step size is 5 kHz for SSB/ CW/ FSK/ AM and 10 kHz for FM.
•When changing the operating frequency by using the MULTI/CH control, frequencies are rounded such that new frequencies are multiples of the frequency step size. To disable this function, access Menu No. 12 and select “oFF” (default is ON).
•Within the AM broadcast band, the step size automatically defaults to the frequency step value in Menu No. 13. This frequency step size can be switched between 9 kHz (“on”) and
5 kHz (“oFF”) via Menu No. 13.
Note: The programmed frequency step size for the MULTI/CH control is stored independently for the HF and 50 MHz bands. You can also set a different frequency step size for SSB/ CW/ FSK, AM and FM modes.
