A)side, the Sub (VFO-B) band’s VFO will automatically change to be the same as that of VFO-A.

FrEq: This function is the almost same as “bAND,” however, furthermore, the Sub band’s (VFO-

Function: Sets the 10’s and 1’s of the MHz digits display for operation with a transverter.

Available Values: 30 ~ 49 MHz

Default Setting: 44 MHz

The default setting would be used with a 144 MHz transverter. If you connect a 430 MHz transverter to the radio, set this menu to “30” (the “100 MHz” digits are hidden on this radio).

035 GEnE µT DIAL

Function: Selects the µ-TUNE mode.

Available Values: StP1/ StP2/OFF

Default Setting: StP1

StP-1: Activates the µ-TUNE system using “COARSE” steps of the [VRF] knob (2 steps/ click) on the 7 MHz and lower amateur bands. On the 10/14 MHz bands, “FINE” [VRF] knob steps (1 step/click) will be used.

StP2: Activates the µ-TUNE system using “FINE” steps of the [VRF] knob (1 step/click) on the 14 MHz and lower amateur bands on the Main band (VFO-A).

OFF: Disables the µ-TUNE system. Activates the VRF feature on the 14 MHz and lower amateur bands on the main band (VFO-A).

ADVICE:

If the optional RF µTuning Kit is not connected, this adjustment has no effect.

036 GEnE SNB LVL

Function: Adjusts the Sub band (VFO-B) receiver’s IF Noise Blanker level, when the Noise Blanker is engaged. Available Values: nAin(MAIN)/0~100
