DIRECT KEYPAD FREQUENCY ENTRY
This function is available only on transceivers equipped
with a DTMF keypad. Entering the desired frequency
directly via the keypad can be the fastest way of
selecting a different frequency especially when a small
frequency step has been selected. If the new frequency
is hundreds of kHz or more from the current frequency,
and you don’t have the new frequency stored in any
memory channels, use direct entry.
1 Press [VFO] to select the VFO.
2 Enter the desired frequency using the numeric keys.
• For versions with receiver coverage wider than
10 MHz, the 10 MHz digit must be entered.
Otherwise, begin entering from the 1 MHz digit.
• When the current step size is 5 kHz, 10 kHz,
15 kHz, or 20 kHz, enter numeric values down to
the 1 kHz digit. Enter either 0 or 5 for the 1 kHz
digit.
• When the current step size is 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz,
entering the 10 kHz digit completes frequency
setting. The 10 kHz and subsequent digits are set
according to which key is pressed for the 10 kHz
digit as shown in the chart.
•
• Except for the 1 kHz digit, entering a digit that is
outside the allowable range causes the nearest digit
within range to be displayed. For the 1 kHz digit,
pressing 10] to [4] selects "0" and pressing [5] to
[9] selects "5".
10 kHz Frequency 10 kHz Frequency
key (kHz) key (kHz)
0 00 5 50
1 12.5 6 62.5
2 25 7 75
3 37.5 8 87.5
4 37.5 9 87.5
Note:
V If any key other than [0] to [9J, [MONI], or [LAMP] is
pressed, or if the next entry is not made within 10
seconds, the previous frequency will be restored.
> If [VFO] is pressed while entering the frequency, the new
data is accepted for the digits entered and the previous
data remains unchanged for the digits not yet entered.
y Turning the ENC/SQL control while entering the frequency
cancels the new numeric data entered, and raises or
lowers the previously displayed frequency.
