Transmitter Power Selection
Press C!!0--7
m
to select either high, or one
of three low power settings: "L 1", "L2" or
"L3". (displayed for 3 seconds). Also dUring
selection, the bargraph meter indicates the
relative power level. Note that the lowest level
draws the least current, and so provides the
longest battery charge life.
To change the low power level, press C!!0--7
m
and
m
again if "Hi" is displayed. Then
turn the
DIAL
or use the arrow keys to choose
a low level. Press the PTf or wait 3 seconds for
the display to return to normal.
Don't worry if you get stuck, you can always
press the PIT to cancel your entry and return to the
previous display.
Tuning
You can tum the

keys, or use direct keypad input to tune in the
selected step size. If you press and hold an arrow
key for continuous tuning, you will need to release
it and then press it again momentarily (to stop, and
prevent scanning). One-MHz steps are also avail-
able: just press C!!0 before pressing either of the
arrow keys (and hold the arrow key for repeated
stepping), or press C!!0 and turn the DIAL.
. Default UHF channel (tuning) steps are 25 kHz
in all versions, and VHF steps are 5 kHz in A
versions, and 25 kHz in B versions. To select an-
other step size, press C!!ID --7

. Don't forget that while the FT-530 permits si-
multaneous dual-band reception on VHF and
UHF, it also lets you simultaneously receive on
two frequencies within the same band. It's like hav-
ing two receivers at your command for each band!
There are a few things, however, that you should

know about VHF & VHF and UHF & UHF recep-
tion with your transceiver.
Simultaneous VHF or UHF frequency recep-
tion is accomplished by first using
direct keyboard
entry
of the desired frequency (within the range of
your particular version) on the alternate display.
Afterwards, the
rn /rn·
keys and the DIAL are
used for tuning and scanning operation on either
receiver. Returning to normal reception(VHF &
UHF) can be accomplished in the same manner
(simply enter a valid frequency using the key-
board). During simultaneous receive, when tun-
ing UHF on the left receiver, reception will
automatically "loop around" when the band limits
are reached, as before. However, if your trans-
ceiver version has extended VHF receiver cover-
age, when tuning
outside
of the 2-meter band on
the right receiver, the coverage will not be as wide.
You can continue tuning/ scanning until the fre-
quency display begin flashing, indicating the band
limit has been reached and the PLL is unlocked.
Simply return to an in-band frequency (the dis-
play returns to normal). Receiver performance
may decline slightly when receiving on the alter-
nate receiver (specifications are guaranteed using
normal reception within Amateur Bands only).
Note!
VHF
transmission is only possible on the left-hand
display, and UHF transmission is only possible on
the right-hand display(
"Err"
will be displayed if
you attempt to transmit), although either display can
be used for receiving on either band Also, remem-
ber that transmission only occurs on the currently
selected main channel. Do not transmit on one
frequency while tuned to the same frequency on the
other receiver.
Selecting Earphone Audio
Full-duplex cross-band operation requires us-
ing an optional earphone or headset to prevent
audio feedback or "howling" from the internal
speaker. You can select which receiver's audio will
be output to the EAR jack on the top panel of your
transceiver by pressing <J.!ID --7
m
--7
@ .
"SP"
will appear followed by the left and right receiver's
selected audio output;
"E"
for earphone jack, or
"1
" for internal speaker. The three combinations
(E
/, / E
&
E
E)
can be selected by toggling the
@
key. Press
CD
or the PTf after making your selec-
tion. Note: This setting only affects audio when an
earphone (or speaker-mid is plugged in to the
EAR jack (disabling the internal speaker).
