6. Tuning to a desired frequency

Using VFO's

Press the [FUNC] key, then press the [1] key will switch between the VFO A and VFO B.
Select either VFO.

NOTE:

DX-SR8 has the VFO and MEMORY modes (see page 51). In the VFO mode, different

frequencies and settings can be set in each individual VFO A and VFO B.

Using the main tuning dial

Turn the main tuning dial clockwise to increase the frequency.

Turn the main tuning dial counterclockwise to decrease the frequcency.

NOTE:

In the SSB and CW modes, rotating the dial will change the frequency in 10 Hz steps (One

full rotation will change frequency by 500 Hz). In the AM and FM modes, rotating the dial

will change the frequency in 100 Hz steps (One full rotation will change frequency by 5

kHz).

Using the [

Ÿ/ź] key ( or using the [UP/DOWN] keys on the microphone)

Move the cursor to desired position by pressing the [M/KHz] key.

1.

Press the [

Ÿ] key to increase the frequency.

2.

Press the [

ź] key to decrease the frequency.

NOTE: •

Frequency step is different by mode. The step can be selected in the set mode

(see page71,72). The default is 0.1 kHz for SSB and CW, 1 kHz for AM, and 2.5

kHz for FM.

In mobile operation, the selected frequency may be accidentally changed by

the vibration, etc. To prevent this, use [

] key for lock features. (see page

68)

In "dial-lock" status, tuning is still possible with the [

Ÿ/ź] key and RIT control

knob.
