4 OPERATING BASICS

EQUALIZING VFO FREQUENCIES ([A=B])

SELECTING FREQUENCY

Press [A=B] to transfer the frequency and modulation mode of the active VFO to the inactive VFO.

There are two methods to select a frequency that are explained in the following sections:

1Assume that you are presently using VFO A.

2Press [RX B].

¥VFO B is selected and the frequency currently selected by VFO B is displayed.

3Press [A=B].

4Press [RX A].

¥This selects VFO A again. Note that the VFO B frequency and the modulation mode have been copied to VFO A due to Step 3.

SELECTING MODE

To change the operating mode, simply press the MODE button for the mode that you want to use. The second function on each MODE button is accessed by pressing the same button again.

Example: To switch to LSB, press [LSB/USB] one time. To then switch to USB, press [LSB/USB] again.

The CW mode defaults to the upper sideband. The Ò label on [CW/–R]indicates that CW may be sent and received using the lower (reverse) sideband if you want. The Ò label on [FSK/–R]indicates that the mark and space signals for RTTY may be reversed by selecting this mode.

In SSB mode, the transceiver automatically selects LSB for frequencies lower than 9.5 MHz, and selects USB for

9.5MHz or higher frequencies if the Tuning control or Mic [UP]/[DWN] is used to cross the frequency of

9.5MHz. This is also true if using the Front Panel [UP] or [DOWN] button.

Change to the correct band or use the 1MHz Step function to get close to the desired frequency. Then use the M.CH/VFO.CH control for coarse tuning and the Tuning control (or the Mic [UP] and [DWN] buttons) for selecting the exact frequency.

BDirect Frequency Entry (Keypad)

Enter the desired frequency directly using the numeric keypad.

1If ÒMHzÓ is illuminated on the Display, first press [1MHz] to exit from the 1MHz Step mode.

¥ ÒMHzÓ goes out.

2Press [UP] or [DOWN].

¥Holding down either button consecutively steps the transceiver to each band.

USING 1 MHz STEPS

The default step size for the 1MHz Step function is

1 MHz; however, you can also select 500 or 100 kHz steps via Menu No. 52 (1M/500k). Menu selections are explained in more detail beginning on page 24.

1Press [1MHz] to enter the 1MHz mode. ¥ ÒMHzÓ lights.

2Press [UP] or [DOWN].

¥The frequency changes up or down in 1 MHz steps (or 500 or 100 kHz steps) each time [UP]or [DOWN] is pressed. Holding down either button causes the function to repeat.
