COMMUNICATING AIDS RECEIVING SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY In addition to turning the Tuning control or pressing Mic [UP]/[DWN], there are several other ways to select your frequency. This section describes additional methods of frequency selection that may save you effort and time. ■ Direct Frequency Entry When the desired frequency is far removed from the current frequency, directly entering a frequency from the numeric keypad can be the fastest method. 1 Press [ENT appears. 2 Press numeric buttons [0] to [9] to enter the frequency you desire. • Pressing [ENT] fills the remaining un-entered digits with 0 and completes entry. • To select 1.85 MHz for example, press [0] for the 10 MHz digit (first digit), because you can also select 18.5 MHz on this transceiver. • Pressing [CLR] cancels entry and restores the previous frequency. Note: ◆ Some digits cannot be entered for the 10 MHz digit (first digit). Pressing one of those digits will cause that digit to be entered in the 1 MHz position. ◆ When the 10 Hz digit (last digit) is entered, the digit 0 is entered automatically for the 1 Hz digit, and frequency entry is completed. The 1 Hz digit is not displayed. ◆ Attempting to enter a frequency that is outside the selectable frequency range causes an alarm to be generated. The entered frequency is rejected. ◆ When an entered frequency is accepted, RIT and XIT are switched OFF, but the RIT or XIT frequency is not changed. ◆ After recalling memory channels 90 to 99 that have Start and End frequencies stored, the receive frequency can be changed by using Direct Frequency Entry within the programmed range. ■ Using 1 MHz Steps Pressing [UP]/[DOWN] on the front panel changes Amateur bands. You can also use [UP]/[DOWN] to change operating frequencies in steps of 1 MHz. 1 Press [1MHz]. • "1MHz" appears. 2 Press [UP] or [DOWN]. • Holding down either button causes the function to repeat. 3 To restore the original function, press [1MHz] again. • "1MHz" disappears. If you prefer 100 kHz or 500 kHz steps instead of 1 MHz, use Menu No. 02. The default is 1 MHz. ■ Quick Changes To move up or down in frequency quickly, use the MULTI/CH control. Turning this control changes the operating frequency in 10 kHz steps. • If you want to change the frequency step size, use Menu Nos. 03 and 04. Select 1 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz, 12.5 kHz, 20 kHz, or 25 kHz for FM, and select 1 kHz, 5 kHz, or 10 kHz for the other modes. The default for both Menu numbers is 10 kHz. • When changing the operating frequency by using the MULTI/CH control, frequencies are rounded such that new frequencies are multiples of the frequency step size. To cancel this function, access Menu No. 05 and select OFF. • Within the AM broadcast band, the step size automatically defaults to 9 kHz (U.S.A./Canada versions: 10 kHz) for AM mode. This step size can be switched between 9 kHz and 10 kHz via Menu No. 06. ■ Fine Tuning Usually, turning the Tuning control changes the frequency in steps of 10 Hz for SSB, CW, and FSK modes, and 100 Hz for FM and AM modes. However, you can also change the step size to 1 Hz for SSB, CW, and FSK modes, and to 10 Hz for FM and AM modes. 1 Press [FINE]. • "FINE" appears. 2 Turn the Tuning control to select the exact frequency. 3 To cancel the function, press [FINE] again. • "FINE" disappears. 29

SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY
In addition to turning the
Tuning
control or pressing Mic
[UP]/[DWN]
, there are several other ways to select your
frequency.
This section describes additional methods of
frequency selection that may save you effort and time.
Direct Frequency Entry
When the desired frequency is far removed from the
current frequency, directly entering a frequency from
the numeric keypad can be the fastest method.
1
Press
[ENT]
.
°
±- - . - - - . - -² appears.
2
Press numeric buttons
[0]
to
[9]
to enter the
frequency you desire.
°
Pressing
[ENT]
fills the remaining un-entered
digits with 0 and completes entry.
°
To select 1.85 MHz for example, press
[0]
for
the 10 MHz digit (first digit), because you can
also select 18.5 MHz on this transceiver.
°
Pressing
[CLR]
cancels entry and restores
the previous frequency.
Note:
Some digits cannot be entered for the 10 MHz digit (first
digit).
Pressing one of those digits will cause that digit to be
entered in the 1 MHz position.
When the 10 Hz digit (last digit) is entered, the digit 0 is
entered automatically for the 1 Hz digit, and frequency entry
is completed.
The 1 Hz digit is not displayed.
Attempting to enter a frequency that is outside the selectable
frequency range causes an alarm to be generated.
The
entered frequency is rejected.
When an entered frequency is accepted, RIT and XIT are
switched OFF, but the RIT or XIT frequency is not changed.
After recalling memory channels 90 to 99 that have Start and
End frequencies stored, the receive frequency can be
changed by using Direct Frequency Entry within the
programmed range.
Using 1 MHz Steps
Pressing
[UP]/[DOWN]
on the front panel changes
Amateur bands.
You can also use
[UP]/[DOWN]
to
change operating frequencies in steps of 1 MHz.
1
Press
[1MHz]

Press
[UP]
or

Holding down either button causes the

again.
°
±1MHz² disappears.
If you prefer 100 kHz or 500 kHz steps instead of
1 MHz, use Menu No. 02.
The default is 1 MHz.
Quick Changes
To move up or down in frequency quickly, use the
MULTI/CH
control.
Turning this control changes the
operating frequency in 10 kHz steps.
°
If you want to change the frequency step size,
use Menu Nos. 03 and 04.
Select 1 kHz, 5 kHz,
10 kHz, 12.5 kHz, 20 kHz, or 25 kHz for FM, and
select 1 kHz, 5 kHz, or 10 kHz for the other
modes.
The default for both Menu numbers is
10
kHz.
°
When changing the operating frequency by using
the
MULTI/CH
control, frequencies are rounded
such that new frequencies are multiples of the
frequency step size.
To cancel this function,
access Menu No. 05 and select OFF.
°
Within the AM broadcast band, the step size
automatically defaults to 9 kHz (U.S.A./Canada
versions: 10 kHz) for AM mode.
This step size
can be switched between 9 kHz and 10 kHz via
Menu No. 06.
Fine Tuning
Usually, turning the
Tuning
control changes the
frequency in steps of 10 Hz for SSB, CW, and FSK
modes, and 100 Hz for FM and AM modes.
However, you can also change the step size to 1 Hz
for SSB, CW, and FSK modes, and to 10 Hz for FM
and AM modes.
