RIT/TXIT Function
RIT/TXIT Function
Once the communication is established, instead of using the main dial, RIT and TXIT are
used to fi ne-tune the operating frequencies during the communication.
RIT is the feature to vary your receiving frequency only without changing the transmitting
frequency, TXIT is vice versa. RIT is useful to fi ne-tune to the receiving signal per your
preference, while TXIT is used to help your communicating station's reception of your
signal while you stay tuned to his frequency.
Both features vary the frequencies within the range of ±1.2 kHz. RIT/TXIT can be used
together or separately.
Procedure
Press the [RIT] key.
1.
The displayed icon will change in the following manner:
RIT RIT/TXIT TXIT OFF (not displayed)
2.
Rotate the RIT control knob to adjust the
receive/transmit frequency.
NOTE: The TXIT function can be disabled in
the Set mode.
IMPORTANT: • Never operate the main dial
while you are using RIT/TXIT
functions. It will change the
original operating frequency
causing interferences to
adjacent stations or off-
frequency from your
communicating station. Be
extra-cautious always to
exit from RIT/TXIT operation
before start using the main
dial.
• ± 'F feature explained in the
following section is another
very useful way to exit from
RIT/TXIT and start operating
