CONVENIENCE FEATURES

“MY BANDS” OPERATION

When operating on an Amateur Band, it is possible to use the [BAND] buttons to engage the use of the [SUB VFO-B] knob for Amateur band selection. The “My Bands” feature allows you to select several Amateur bands, and make only those bands available for selection via the [SUB VFO-B] knob.

This feature can be very useful in a contest, where the 10/18/24 MHz band are not used, or if you do not have antennas for some bands.

“My Bands” Setup

1.Press the [MENU] button to engage the Menu mode.

2.Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item “122 tun MY BAND.”

3.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to choose a band that you wish to skip (omit) from the band-selection loop (when using the [SUB VFO-B] knob for band selec- tion). The available choices are 1.8/3.5/5/7/10/14/18/ 21/24/28/50/GE (General Band)/AU (Transverter).

4.Press the [ENT] button to set the omission command to ON. The “E” (Enable) notation at the right of the band notation will change to “d” (disable).

5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 to select/deselect as many bands as you like.

NOTE:

The “ON” command sets the selected band to be skipped, while the “OFF” command sets the selected band to be included in the band-selection list. Return the “d” notation to “E” to restore operation on a previ- ously-deleted band.

6.Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to lock in the new configuration and exit to normal operation.

“My Band” Operation

1.Press the (VFO-A) [BAND] button; the imbedded LED will glow Red, if you operate the “My Band” feature on the Main band (VFO-A).

ADVICE:

If the “My Band” feature on the Main band (VFO-A) seems not to be operating, check see if the orange lamp to the right of the [SUB VFO-B] knob is illuminated. If so, pressing the [A/B] key will cause the orange lamp to the right of the [SUB VFO-B] knob to go out. Now, press the (VFO-A) [BAND] button to begin “My Band” feature.

2.Press the (VFO-B) [BAND] button; the imbedded LED will glow Orange, if you operate the “My Band” fea- ture on the Sub band (VFO-B).

3.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to choose the Ama- teur band on which you wish to operate. Only those Amateur bands that have not been skipped will appear as you scroll through the bands.
