TRANSMITTER CONVENIENCE FEATURES

SPLIT-FREQUENCY OPERATION

Quick Split Operation

The Quick Split feature allows you to set a one-touch offset of +5 kHz to be applied to your radio’s transmit frequency on the Sub (VFO-B), compared to the Main (VFO-A) frequency.

1. Start with regular transceiver operation on the Main (VFO-A) band. MAIN (VFO-A)

[RX] switch “ON” (LED glows Green)

[TX] switch “ON” (LED glows Red)

SUB (VFO-B)

[RX] switch “OFF” (LED Off) [TX] switch “OFF” (LED Off)

2.Press and hold in the [SPLIT] button for two sec- onds to engage the Quick Split feature, and apply a frequency 5 kHz above the Main (VFO-A) fre- quency to the Sub (VFO-B) frequency register. Press and hold in the [SPLIT] button for two sec- onds to increment the Main (VFO-A) frequency to +5 kHz.

The VFO configuration will then be: MAIN (VFO-A)

[RX] switch “ON” (LED glows Green) [TX] switch “OFF” (LED Off)

SUB (VFO-B)

[RX] switch “OFF” (LED Off)

[TX] switch “ON” (LED glows Red)

QUICK POINTS:

￿The operating mode applied to the Sub (VFO-B) register will be the same as that in use on the Main (VFO-A) register.

￿The offset of the Sub (VFO-B) from the Main VFO (VFO-A) is programmed via the Menu, and is set to +5 kHz at the factory. Other offsets may be se- lected, however, using the following procedure:

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

2.Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item “031 gene Q SPLIT.”

3.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select the de- sired offset.

The available selections are –20kHz~ +20kHz (factory default: +5 kHz).

4.When you have completed all adjustments, press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. If you only press the [MENU] button momentarily to exit, any changes you performed will not be stored.
