Quick Split Operation; Direct Input Of Offset Frequency - Yaesu FTDX101MP Operation Manual

SPLIT
A powerful capability of the FTDX101 is its flexibility
in Split Frequency operation using the MAIN band
and SUB band frequency registers. This makes the
FTDX101 especially useful for high-level DX-pedi-
tions. The Split operation capability is very ad-
vanced and easy to use.
1. Set the MAIN band frequency to the desired
receive frequency.
2. Press the [SUB] key.
3. Set the SUB band frequency to the desired
transmit frequency.
4. Press the [MAIN] key, then press the [SPLIT]
key.
The LED indicators will appear as shown below:
SPLIT key Green
During Split operation, the MAIN band register will
be used for reception, while the SUB band regis-
ter will be used for transmission. If you press the
[SPLIT] key once more, Split operation will be can-
celled.
● During Split operation, pressing the [MAIN
key will reverse the contents of MAIN band and
SUB band. Press the [MAIN
more to return to the original frequency settings.
● The receive and transmit frequencies can be set
to different bands or operation modes.
● When transmitting and receiving in the MAIN
band, if you press this, the transmission frequen-
cy will be the frequency of the SUB band and the
frequency of the SUB band and the SUB band
frequency display will be red.
Press and hold to increase the SUB band transmis-
sion frequency by 5 kHz.
● [SYNC] key
The [SYNC] key can move the frequencies of the
MAIN band and SUB band simultaneously.
Press and hold to adjust the SUB band frequency
to the MAIN band frequency.

• Quick Split Operation

The Quick Split feature allows setting a one-touch
offset of +5 kHz as compared to the MAIN band fre-
quency, to be applied to the transceiver SUB band
(transmit) frequency.
1. Start with regular transceiver operation on the
MAIN band.
2. Press and hold the [SPLIT] key to engage the
Quick Split feature, which applies a frequency 5
kHz above the MAIN band frequency to the SUB
band frequency register.
3. Press and hold in the [SPLIT] key to increment
the SUB band frequency another +5 kHz.
● The offset of SUB band from MAIN band is pro-
grammed via the Menu and is set to +5 kHz at
the factory.
● However, other offsets may be selected using
menu item [QUICK SPLIT FREQ] (page 98).

• Direct input of offset frequency

The offset can be set to a frequency other than 5
kHz with the on-screen keyboard.
1. Set the MAIN band frequency to the desired
receive frequency.
2. Press the [FUNC] key.
3. Select [OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL]
→ [QUICK SPLIT INPUT].
4. Select "ON".
5. Press the [FUNC] key to save the new setting
and exit the Setting Menu.
6. Press the [FUNC] key to exit to normal operation.
7. Press and hold the [SPLIT] key.
8. Enter the offset frequency with the keyboard on
the screen, then touch [kHz].
● The frequency range that can be input is from -20
kHz to +20 kHz.
