4 OPERATING BASICS
Note: After recalling memory channel 99 that has Start and End
frequencies stored {page 58}, the receive frequency can be changed
flike a VFO) by using the Tuning control.
DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY
Entering a frequency directly from the numeric keypad
can be the fastest method to change to a specific
frequency that is far removed from your current
frequency.
The foliowing points will help you enter a frequency
correctly:
+ Only the digits 0, 1, 2, or 3 can be entered for the
10 MHz digit (first digit). Pressing any digit 4 ~ 9 will
cause the digit to be entered in the 1 MHz position.
Therefore, to select a frequency of 3 MHz or lower,
enter 0 for the 10 MHz digit.
+ When the 10 Hz digit (last digit) is entered, the digit 0
is entered automaticaily for the 1 Hz digit, and
frequency entry is completed. The 1 Hz digit is not
dispiayed.
+ If [ENTER] is pressed after beginning to enter digits,
0 is entered automatically for the remaining
un-entered digits, and frequency entry is completed.
+ Attempting to enter a frequency that is outside the
TS-870S frequency range causes an alarm to be
generated. The entered frequency is rejected.
+ fan incorrect digit is pressed, restore the previous
frequency by pressing [CLEAR], or [SEND], or
Mic [PTT].
+ When an entered frequency is accepted, RIT
{page 44} and XIT {page 45} are switched OFF, but
the RIT or XIT frequency is not changed.
1 Press [ENTER].
+ "--.---.-~-" appears.
2 Press the numeric buttons [0] ~ [9] to enter the
frequency you desire.
+ The transceiver changes to the entered
frequency after the 10 Hz digit is pressed.
Note: After recalling memory channel 99 that has Start and End
frequencies stored {page 58}, the receive frequency can be changed
by using Direct Frequency Entry. When using the keypad to directly
enter a frequency, you can never enter a frequency outside the
frequency range programmed in memory channel 99.

FRONT PANEL METER
The multifunction meter measures the parameters in the
following table. Peak readings for the S-meter, ALC,
SWR, COMP, and PWR functions are held for
approximately 2.5 seconds if Menu No. 09 (P HOLD) is
ON.
