6 FUNCTIONS FOR TRANSMIT ■ Quick split function When you find a DX station, an important consideration is how to set the split frequency. When you hold down [F-1 SPL] (M-1) for 1 second, split frequency operation is turned ON, the undisplayed VFO is automatically changed according to the plus/minus shift frequency programmed in the miscellaneous (others) Set mode (p. 129) or equalized with the displayed VFO when 0.000 MHz (default) is programmed as the split offset frequency. This shortens the time needed to start split frequency operation. Quick split operation is turned ON by default but can be turned OFF in the miscellaneous (others) Set mode (p. 129).

FUNCTIONS FOR TRANSMIT

■
Quick split function
q
Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB)
in VFO A.
w
Hold down
[F-1
SPL
]
(
M
-
1
) for 1 second.
• Split frequency operation is turned ON.
• The VFO A and VFO B are equalized.
e
While holding down
[F-4
XFC
]
(
M
-
1
), rotate
[DIAL]
to set the frequency offset between
transmit and receive.
•
[XFC]
on the HM-151 can also be used.
• The transmit frequency can be monitored while
holding down
[F-4
XFC
]
.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
When you are searching for DX stations and you
suspect that a DX station may say “up ‘X’ kHz” for
their receive frequency:
OPERATION 1
q
Hold down
[F-1
SPL
]
(
M
-
1
) for 1 second to
standby for split operation.
w
If the DX station’s operator says “up 10 kHz.”
• Push
[F-INP/ENT]
,
[1]
,
[0]
then
[F-1
SPL
]
(
M
-
1
).
• Or, rotate the tuning dial.
OPERATION 2
If the DX station’s operator says “down 5 kHz”
before you enter standby for split operation:
➥
Push
[F-INP/ENT]
,
[•]
,
[5]
then
[F-1
SPL
]
(
M
-
1
).
• The split function is turned ON and “5 kHz down”
frequency is entered in the sub readout.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
When you are working a pile-up and you want to
start split frequency operation to simplify picking out
stations:
q
Push
[F-1
SPL
]
(
M
-
1
) momentarily, and hold
down
[F-2
A/B
]
(
M
-
1
)
for 1 second.
• The transmit (VFO B) frequency is equalized to the
receive (VFO A) frequency and “
” appears.
w
Rotate
[DIAL]
to set your receive frequency in
the VFO A.
e
Announce your receive frequency.
r
After you catch one of the calling stations’ call
signs, hold down the PTT switch to respond.
• While holding down
[F-4
XFC
]
, you can monitor your
transmit frequency.
When you find a DX station, an important
consideration is how to set the split frequency.
When you hold down
[F-1
SPL
]
(
M-1
) for 1 second, split
frequency operation is turned ON, the undisplayed VFO
is automatically changed according to the plus/minus shift
frequency programmed in the miscellaneous (others) Set
mode (p. 129) or equalized with the displayed VFO when
0.000 MHz (default) is programmed as the split offset
frequency.
This shortens the time needed to start split frequency
operation.
Q
uick split operation is turned ON by default but can be
turned OFF in the miscellaneous (others) Set mode (p. 129).
