TF-SET key
Depressing this key will allow you to rapidly set
or check the transmit frequency, during SPLIT
operations,
without the need of actually
transmitting.
A = B key
Equalizes the frequencies, modes and filter
selection of VFO A and VFO B.
A (VFO A) key
RX ; Press this key to receive signals on VFO A.
TX : Press this key to transmit signals on VFO A.
B (VFO B) key
RX ; Press this key to receive signals on VFO B.
TX : Press this key to transmit signals on VFO B.
M.CH (Memory Channel) key
RX: Press this key to receive signals on the
memory channel.
TX: Press this key to transmit signals on the
memory channel.
Note
When just an RX key (VFO A, VFO B, or M.CH.) is
pressed, the same VFO or memory channel is
used for both reception and transmission. For split
operation, select VFO A or VFO B for reception,
and, for transmission, either select the other VFO
or select TX M.CH.
1MHz key
This key is used to determine if the UP/DOWN
switches will function in 1 MHz steps or only
thru the amateur bands. When the 1 MHz step
position is selected, the MHz indicator will light.
F.LOCK key
The selected dial frequency and mode are
locked._________________________________
Note
When the F.LOCK key is on the TF-SET,
FILTER, METER, VOICE keys, AlP, RIT, XIT
switches and RIT/XIT control are still active.
(g)QUICK MEMO M.IN key
This key writes data to the quick memory.
@QUICKMEMOMRkey
This key recalls the quick memory.
(§) VOICE key
Press this key to activate the optional voice
synthesizer unit VS-2.
(§) UP/DOWN switch
Pressing the UP switch increases the frequency,
and pressing the DOWN switch decreases it.
When the function setting at power on is on, this
switch changes the setting.
RlT/XIT — T O N E
(g) RIT/XIT control
RIT (Receiver Incremental Tuning)
The RIT control allows shifting the receiver
frequency. Use of the RIT control will not affect
the transmit frequency.
When the RIT switch is ON, the RIT indicator
will light, and the receive frequency can be
adjusted by using the RIT control.
Note
When the RIT is ON the transmit frequency
may be different from the receive frequency.
For normal operation leave the RIT switch
OFF. It should be used only when necessary.
The scan speed can be changed during scanning
with the RIT control.
XIT (Transmitter Incremental Tuning)
XIT is very similar to RIT. XIT is only active in
the transmit mode. By using the XIT function it is
possible to offset the transmit frequency without
the normal loss of receiver audio that is
experienced when using the SPLIT function.
The RIT / XIT offset can be preset, without
affecting the actual operating frequency by
turning OFF the RIT/XIT and using the RIT/XIT
display to determine the offset.
This is useful when working a DX station who is
“split” within the XIT range.
The RIT / XIT step size is either 10 Hz or 20 Hz.
Please refer to Section 4-10-15 for information on
how to select the desired step size.
@TONE control
Turn the control to increase or decrease the receiver
audio tone.
