Transmission in Data Mode

Transmission via PTT Switch, SS Terminal and SEND

Switch transmission by making use of the [PTT] switch on the
microphone, SS terminal of the REMOTE connector and [SEND]
on the front panel. Under normal circumstances, the microphone
audio is transmitted via this operation.
• This transceiver continues to transmit signals while [PTT] on
the microphone is pressed and held down.
• This transceiver transmits signals when the SS terminal of the
REMOTE connector is short-circuited to GND.
• Pressing [SEND] each time toggles between transmission and
reception.

Transmission via DATA PTT or DATA SEND

DATA PTT (PKS terminal of ACC 2 connector) or the PF key that
is assigned with "DATA SEND" is used to switch between
transmission and reception. For more details, please refer to
Keys (Programmable Function
This function comes in handy when transmitting audio or data from
an external device.
This operation transmits normal audio signals or audio signals that
are input to the ANI terminal of the ACC 2 connector. A different
audio path can be specified. For more details, please refer to

RIT/XIT

RIT (Receiver Incremental Tuning)

RIT is a function for fine-tuning only the RX frequency in 10 Hz
steps within the ±9.99 kHz range without altering the TX frequency.
This is used such as when the TX frequency of the station that this
transceiver is communicating with has become slightly deviated.
• When the FINE mode is ON, the offset frequency of RIT
switches to a step size of 1 Hz. RIT functions in the same way
in all modes as well as when VFO or the memory channel mode
is in use.
1 Press [RIT].
The [RIT] LED lights up and the RIT offset frequency is
displayed.
2 Turn the [RIT/XIT] control.
Fine-tune the RX frequency for RIT.
• To clear the offset frequency for RIT, press [CL]. The RIT
offset frequency value is reset to 0.
"PF
3 Press [RIT] to end the process.
RIT is turned off. The RX frequency is restored to the value prior
to performing step 1.

RIT Shift

This is a function for setting the frequency adjusted with RIT to a
RX band.
Press and hold [RIT].
The RX frequency that is adjusted using RIT is set to an RX
band. The RIT frequency is then cleared and the RIT function
is turned off.

XIT (Transmitter Incremental Tuning)

XIT is a function that can be used to fine-tune the TX frequency in
10 Hz steps within the ±9.99 kHz range without altering the RX
frequency.
• When the FINE mode is ON, the offset frequency of XIT
switches to a step size of 1 Hz.
1 Press [XIT].
The [XIT] LED lights up and the XIT offset frequency is
displayed.
2 Turn the [RIT/XIT] control.
Fine-tune the TX frequency for XIT.
• To clear the offset frequency for XIT, press [CL]. The XIT
offset frequency value is reset to 0.
3 Press [XIT] to end the process.
XIT is turned off. The TX frequency is restored to the value prior
to performing step 1.

XIT Shift

This is a function for shifting from operation using XIT to the split
mode at one touch.
Press and hold [XIT].
When the TX frequency that is adjusted using XIT is set to a TX
band, the operation switches to the split mode at the same time.
The XIT frequency is then cleared and the XIT function is turned
off.
If the frequency is changed in the entry mode, the
●
RIT/XIT function is automatically turned off.
