Display (LCD)
Multi-character displays: The 7-segment display
(upper) shows the VFO A frequency. The 13-
segment display (lower) shows VFO B or text.
Bar graph, receive mode: The bar graph normally
acts as an S-meter. If
C WT is turned on, the right
half of the S-meter becomes a tuning aid (pg. 34).
Bar graph, transmit mode: The bar graph
normally shows
SWR and RF power output. The
RF scale will be either 5 and 10 (low power) or 50
and 100 (high power). In voice and data modes,
transmit scales can be changed to compression
(
CMP ) and ALC using M E T E R .
VFO Icons: The TX icon indicates which VFO is
selected for transmit. In TX TEST mode, or when
TX is inhibited externally,
TX flashes (see T E S T ).
Shows that VFO A or B is locked (see L O C K ).
TX
A
VFO A is the transmit VFO
TX
B
VFO B is the transmit VFO; see
Filter Graphic: This shows the approx. bandwidth
and position of the receiver’s I.F. passband. See
Filter Passband Controls, pg. 23.
Filter Icons:
NTC H Notch filtering on ( N T C H , pg. 25)
Manual notch ( M A N , pg. 25)
I / II Shows selected preset ( I/I I , pg. 14)
XFIL Crystal filter selection ( FL1 - FL5 )
Mode Icons:
Basic modes ( LSB / USB , CW , DAT A , AM , or
FM ) are selected by tapping either end (Up/Down)
of M O D E . Alternate modes ( CW REV , DAT A
REV , AM- S , FM +/- ) are selected by holding
A L T . LSB and USB are alternates of each other.
+ icon on in SSB modes indicates ESSB (pg. 36).
T indicates FM/tone, CW/DATA text decode, or
AM-Sync auto-tracking.
