3 BASIC OPERATION
■Tuning a frequency (via the dial)
When you want to listen to frequencies near the displayed frequency, the easi- est way to tune them is with the tuning dial.
All signals have what is called an “oc- cupied bandwidth.” They will be re- ceived as long as the receiver is tuned anywhere within this bandwidth. Even though the frequency received may not be the central frequency, the tuning step should be made as small as pos- sible (0.5 or 5 kHz) and the receiver tuned to the point of greatest signal strength indicator deflection.
To change frequencies faster than the tuning step, use the dial select function (p. 16).
1.Select VFO mode and a receive mode
qPush [CLR] or [V/M] to select VFO mode.
wPush [MODE] to select a receive mode.
eSet tuning step if desired (p. 14).

2. Tune a frequency
Rotate [DIAL] to change the fre- quency.
•The frequency changes in increments determined by the tuning step.
•To change the frequency faster, use the dial select function (p. 16).
