BASIC OPERATIONS 4 Selecting VFO A/ B This transceiver is equipped with two VFOs, A and B. The two VFOs operate independently of each other, and thus can be configured to different frequencies and modes. Additionally, one VFO can be configured to the TX frequency and the other to the RX frequency. Press [A/B]. Pressing [A/B] each time switches between "VFO A" and "VFO B". The currently selected VFO is indicated as > or >. • Pressing and holding down [A/B] configures both "VFO A" and "VFO B" to the same frequency and mode. Selecting an Operating Band Below are steps to select the frequency bandwidth to use. A different frequency bandwidth can be selected for VFO A and VFO B. By using the numeric keypad or [GENE] key, it is possible to call up an amateur frequency between 1.8 MHz and 50 MHz or a general band frequency such as 70 MHz (E type), 135 kHz, 475 kHz, MW broadcast band, and 5 MHz at one touch. • This transceiver comes with a band memory feature that is able to store up to 5 pairs of frequencies and modes (3 pairs in the default setting) that were used most recently for each band. Press [1 (1.8)] to [0 (50)] or [GENE]. • Pressing one of the above keys saves the current VFO frequency and mode and calls up the next memory band at the same time. Pressing the key each time switches to the next band memory in sequence from band memory 1 to band memory 5. • Frequencies that are out of the range of the band memory will not be stored. • The default values for each of the band memories are as follows.
