15 OPERATOR CONVENIENCES

1Press and hold [USB/ LSB/ AUTO]+[ ] (POWER) to turn the transceiver ON.

2Press [+] or [–]to select the band to add the frequency points.

3Select a memory channel number by turning the MULTI/ CH control.

4Turn the Tuning control to select a desired frequency point to change the operating mode. Or, press [ENT] to enter the desired frequency point {page 37} using the numeric keys.

5Press one of the mode keys to select the desired operating mode.

•The selected mode appears on the main dot- matrix display.

6Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have added all the data.

7Press [CLR] to store the data.

The table below shows the default Auto Mode frequency points for the HF/ 50 MHz band. When you activate the Auto Mode selection by pressing [FUNC], [LSB/ USB/ AUTO], the transceiver automatically selects the mode; LSB for frequencies below 9.5 MHz and USB for frequencies greater than or equal to 9.5 MHz.

The table below is an example of how to add the frequency point of 1.62 MHz/ AM into memory. With this set up, the transceiver selects AM mode below

1.62MHz, LSB mode from 1.62 MHz to 9.5 MHz and USB mode from 9.5 MHz to 60.0 MHz.

The next table is an example of adding 4 frequency points into memory. With this setup, the transceiver selects AM mode below 1.62 MHz, CW mode from

1.62MHz to 2.0 MHz, LSB mode from 2.0 MHz to

9.5MHz, FM mode from 9.5 MHz to 53.0 MHz and USB mode from 53.0 MHz to 60.0 MHz. If multiple data contains the same frequency but a different mode is entered into memory, the lowest numbered memory channel is reflected as the Auto Mode.

To activate the AUTO MODE function, press [FUNC], [LSB/ USB/ AUTO].

BEEP FUNCTION

The Beep function provides you confirmation of entry, error status, and malfunctions of the transceiver. Although you can turn the beep function OFF by accessing Menu No. 12, we recommend you leave it ON in order to detect unexpected errors and malfunctions.

You can also change the output level of the beeps by accessing Menu No. 12 and selecting 1 to 9.

The transceiver generates Morse code to tell you which mode is selected when you change operating modes.

When you change operating Modes, the following Morse code sounds:
