Keyboard Frequency Entry

You may enter operating frequencies, for either the Main (VFO-A) or Sub (VFO-B) bands, using the front panel band/frequency selection keys.

Example 1:

Enter 14.250.00 MHz into the Main band (VFO-A):

1. Press the [ENT] button to engage the direct frequency entry process. Now, beginning with the “10 MHz” digit of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we will enter the required digits of the frequency.

2. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,

using the [BAND] buttons (which have the frequency-

entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the

slash bar). In this example, enter

ADVICE:

If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the operating range of 30 kHz ~ 60 MHz, the microprocessor will ignore the attempt, and you will be returned to your previous operating frequency. If this happens, please try again, taking care not to repeat the error in the frequency entry process.

Using the [SUB VFO-B] knob

You may change the Main band (VFO-A) frequency in 1 MHz steps. If you press the (VFO-A) [BAND] button, the 1 MHz steps will be applied to the Main band (VFO-A) frequency. The imbedded LED in the (VFO-A) [BAND] button will glow Red in the latter case.

When tuning in 1 MHz steps, clockwise rotation of the [SUB VFO-B] knob will increase the frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will decrease the frequency.

Using the UP/DOWN Switches of the Supplied MH-31B8Hand Microphone

[14/5] ￿ [50/0] ￿ [50/0] ￿ [50/0] ￿ [50/0]

The decimal point after the “MHz” portion of the fre-

quency must be entered, but no decimal point is re-

quired after the “kHz” portion.

3. Press the [ENT] button once more. A short “beep” will

confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and

the new operating frequency will appear on the Main

(VFO-A) frequency display fields.

Example 2:

Enter 7.100.000 MHz into the Sub band (VFO-B): 1. Press the [B] button.

2. Within five seconds (blinking the imbedded orange LED) of pressing the [B] button, press the [ENT] but-

ton to engage the direct frequency entry process. Now,

The [UP]/[DWN] switches on the supplied MH-31B8Hand Microphone may also be used for manually scanning upward or downward in frequency, respec- tively.

The microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] switches utilize the tuning steps of the Main Tuning Dial knob; moreover, when the microphone’s [FAST] key is pressed, the tuning rate increases by a factor of ten, in a manner similar to the effect of the transceiver’s front-panel [FAST] button.

beginning with the “10 MHz” digit of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we will enter the required digits of the frequency to be entered into the Sub band (VFO-

B) register.

3.Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency, using the [BAND] buttons (which have the frequency- entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the slash bar). In this example, enter

4.Press the [ENT] button once more. A short “beep” will confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and the new operating frequency will appear on the Sub (VFO-B) frequency display fields.

In the AM and FM modes, you may independently set the tuning steps when using the [UP]/[DWN] switches. To set new tuning steps, use Menu items “119 tun AM STEP” and “120 tun FM STEP.”
