= = = = = ■ VFO description VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscillator, and traditionally refers to an oscillator. The IC-7200 VFO can store a frequency and an operating mode. You can call up a desired frequency to the VFO with the keypad or the memory copy function (p. 63). You can also change the frequency with [DIAL] and select an operating mode with MODE or call up previously accessed frequency and modes with the band stacking register (p. 24). The IC-7200 has two VFOs, specially suited for split frequency operation. The VFOs are called VFO A and VFO B. You can use the desired VFO to call up a frequency and operating mode for operation. ■ VFO operation D Selecting the VFO A/B ➥ Push A/B to toggle VFO A or VFO B. D VFO equalization ➥ Push and hold A/B for 1 sec. to set the undisplayed VFO frequency and mode to the displayed VFO frequency • 3 beeps sound when the VFO equalization is completed. CONVENIENT Use two VFOs as a quick memory When you find a new station, but you wish to continue searching, the two VFO systems can be used for quick memory storage. q Push and hold A/B for 1 sec. to store the dis- played frequency into the undisplayed VFO. w Continue searching for stations. e Push A/B to retrieve the stored frequency. r To continue searching for a station, push A/B again. 3 BASIC OPERATION Select Transfer MEMORY CHANNEL 7.001 MHz VFO Change DIAL Transfer BAND 21.295 MHz Either " " or " " appears.
