FRONT PANEL CONTROLS & SWITCHES

[M￿A] Switch

Pressing this button momentarily displays the contents of the currently-selected memory channel for three sec- onds.

Holding this button in for 2 seconds copies the data from the currently-selected memory to the Main VFO (VFO-A), as two beeps sound. Previous data in the Main VFO will be overwritten.

[A￿M] Switch

Pressing and holding in this key for 1/2 second (until the double beep) copies the current operating data from the Main band (VFO-A) into the currently selected memory channel, overwriting any previous data stored there.

Also, pressing and holding in this button after recalling a memory, without first retuning, causes the memory channel to be “masked,” and repeating the process restores the masked memory.

MENU Switch

This button is used for gaining access to the Menu sys- tem, for configuring various transceiver characteris- tics. Menu operation is described in detail, in this manual, beginning on page 108.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Pressing this button momentarily activates the Menu, and the Menu items will appear on the display; once you are finished, you must press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save any configuration changes (momentarily pressing the [MENU] button to exit will not save the changes).

BAND Keys

These keys allow one-touch selection of the desired Amateur band (1.8 ~ 50 MHz).

What’s more, these keys may be used for direct entry of a desired operating frequency during VFO opera- tion.
