FT-60R OPERATING MANUAL 13

OPERATION
SELECTING THE OPERATING BAND
Press the [BAND(BAND DN)] key repetitively. You will
see the LCD indication move toward a higher frequency
band each time you press the [BAND(BAND DN)] key.
850 MHz 144 MHz
250 MHz 350 MHz
430 MHz 850 MHz ……
If you wish to move the operating band selection down-
ward (toward a lower frequency band), press the [F/W]
key first, then press the [BAND(BAND DN)] key.
350 MHz 250 MHz
144 MHz 850 MHz
430 MHz 350 MHz ……
Once you have selected the desired band, you
may initiate manual tuning (or scanning) per
the discussion in the next chapter.
FREQUENCY NAVIGATION
The FT-60R will initially be operating in the “VFO” mode, a channelized system which
allows free tuning throughout the currently-selected operating band.
Three basic frequency navigation methods are available on the FT-60R:

1) Tuning Dial

Rotation of the DIAL allows tuning in the pre-programmed
steps established for the current operating band. Clockwise
rotation of the DIAL causes the FT-60R to be tuned toward
a higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will
lower the operating frequency.
If you press the [F/W] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL,
frequency steps of 1 MHz will be selected. This feature is
extremely useful for making rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning range of the
FT-60R.
