Advice:

Clockwise rotation of the Main Tuning Dial knob increases the operating frequency, one “step” of the synthesizer at a time; similarly, counter-clockwise rotation of the Main Tuning Dial knob will decrease the frequency.

Two steps, one “normal” and one “fast”, are available on each operating mode. Pressing the [FAST] button engages the “Fast” tuning selection.

Operating Mode	1 Step	1 Dial Rotation
LSB, USB, CW, RTTY, PKT(LSB)	10Hz [100Hz]	10kHz [100kHz]
AM, FM, PKT(FM)	100Hz [1kHz]	100kHz [1MHz]

If you want to navigate quickly, so as to effect rapid frequency change, there are several techniques available:

•Direct keyboard entry of the frequency (see page ??).

•Use the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob to tune in 1 MHz steps (see page ??).

•Use the microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] scanning keys, if your microphone is so equipped (see page ??).

Advice: If you can not enter the “Memory” mode, check see if the green [VFO-B(RX)] Indicator/Switch is illuminated. If so, pressing the [VFO-A(RX)] Indicator/Switch will cause the green [VFO-B(RX)] Indicator/Switch to go out. Now, press the [V/M] button to enter the “Memory” mode.

2.Press the [MCH] button located on the bottom right of the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob. The LED imbedded in the button will glow orange to signify that rotation of the
