Contest Number Programming

Use this process if you are starting a contest, or if you somehow get out of sync with the proper number in the middle of a contest.

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

2.Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item “019 tEy CONTEST.”

3.Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to set the Con- test Number to the desired value.

Advice:

Press the [CLEAR] button (located below and to the left of the [CLAR] knob) to reset the Con- test Number to “1.”

4.Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to store the new number and exit to normal operation.

Decrementing the Contest Number

Use this process if the current contest number gets slightly ahead of the actual number you want to send (in case of a duplicate QSO, for example).

Press the [F6(DEC)] button on the front panel. The current Contest Number will be reduced by one. Press the [F6(DEC)] button as many times as necessary to reach the desired number. If you go too far, use the “Contest Number Programming” technique desired above.
