Operating Manual
Using the VFO-B
The VFO-B works in a similar manner to the VFO-A, which you should be familiar by now. However, the VFO-B frequency selects by the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob instead of the Main Tuning Dial knob. The VFO-B provides simple split (transmit/receive) frequency operation via the combination of the green [(VFO-A)RX] Indicator/Switch, red [(VFO-A)TX] Indicator/Switch, green [(VFO-B)RX] Indicator/Switch, and red
[(VFO-B)TX] Indicator/Switch or [SPLIT] button. See page ?? for details for the Split-Frequency Operation.
The frequency and mode data can be transferred from the VFO-A to the VFO-B by pressing the [A>B] button, but don’t forget that this will overwrite any settings that were in the VFO-B previously. Also, the contents of the two VFOs can be swapped (with no loss of data) by pressing the [A>B] button.
Most interference-fighting circuitry which is described later can also be used on VFO-B.
About the only things you can not do with the VFO-B (that you can with the VFO-A), are store the contents directly into a memory and set the Clarifier. For these functions you need to swap the VFO-B with the VFO-A by pressing the [A<>B] button, then store the contents into the memory or set the Clarifier.
“MY Bands” Operation
When operating on an Amateur Band, it is possible to use the [BAND] buttons to engage the use of the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob for Amateur band selection. The “My Bands” feature allows you to select several Amateur bands, and make only those bands available for selection via the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob.
This feature can be very useful in a contest, where the 10/18/24 MHz band are not used, or if you do not have antennas for some bands.
“My Bands” Setup
1.Press the [MENU] button to engage the Menu mode.
2.Rotate the [SELECT] knob to select Menu item “090 TUN MY BAND.”
Advice: Press the [SELECT] knob to toggle the Menu item display between “090 TUN” and “MY BAND”.
3.Rotate the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob to choose a band that you wish to skip (omit) from
