BASIC OPERATION:RECEIVING ON AMATEUR BANDS

10.Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to tune around the band, and begin normal operation.

ADVICE:

￿Clockwise rotation of the Main Tuning Dial knob increases the operating frequency, one “step” of the synthesizer at a time; similarly, counter-clockwise

rotation of the Main Tuning Dial knob will decrease the frequency. Two steps, one “normal”

and one “fast,” are available on each operating mode.

Pressing the [FAST] button engages the “Fast” tuning selection.

￿It is possible to separate the frequency change over one dial rotation, only while operating solely on the CW mode, using the Menu items “116 tun DIALSTP,” and “117 tun CW FINE.” See page 123.

￿If you want to navigate quickly, so as to effect rapid frequency change, there are several techniques available:

￿Direct keyboard entry of the frequency (see page 49).

￿Use the [SUB VFO-B] knob to tune in 1 MHz steps (see page 49).

￿Use the microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] scanning keys, if your microphone is so equipped (see page 49).
