Quick Split Function - Icom IC-756PROIII Instruction Manual

■ Quick split function

When you find a DX station, an important considera-
tion is how to set the split frequency.
When you push the [SPLIT] switch for 1 sec., split fre-
quency operation is turned ON, the sub readout is
equalized to the main readout frequency and enters
standby for transmit frequency input.
This shortens the time needed to start split frequency
operation.
The quick split function is ON by default. For your con-
venience, it can be turned OFF in set mode. (p. 100)
In this case, the [SPLIT] switch does not equalize the
main and sub readout frequencies.
q Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB)
in VFO mode.

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 Push [SPLIT] for 1 sec. to standby for split oper-
ation.
w If the DX station's operator says "up 10 kHz":
• Push [1], [0] then [SPLIT].
• Or, rotate the tuning dial.
OPERATION 2
If the DX station's operator says "down 5 kHz" be-
fore you enter standby for split operation:
➥ Push [(F-INP)ENT], [•], [5] then [SPLIT].
• The split function is turned ON and "5 kHz down" fre-
quency is entered in the sub readout.

FUNCTION FOR TRANSMIT
e Rotate the tuning dial to set the transmit fre-
quency; or, input the transmit frequency using the
keypad and [(F-INP)ENT]; or, input a shift fre-
quency using the keypad and [SPLIT].
• The transmit frequency can be monitored while pushing
[XFC] or using dualwatch.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
When you receive a pile-up and you want to start
split frequency operation to simplify picking out sta-
tions:
q Push [SPLIT] momentarily and push [CHANGE]
for 1 sec.
• The sub readout frequency is equalized to the main
readout frequency and "
w Rotate the tuning dial to set your receive fre-
quency in the main readout.
e Announce your receive frequency.
r After you catch one of the calling stations' call
signs, push and hold the PTT switch to respond.
• While pushing [XFC], you can monitor your transmit
frequency.
