Using The Fix (Fixed) Mode - Yaesu FT DX 9000 TFT Manual

This feature is convenient when you want to monitor an entire amateur band.
The starting point, located at the left edge of the screen, can be set via the Menu. Even if the screen span
(bandwidth) is changed, the start frequency will not be changed. By watching the screen, you can move your
operation to frequencies where interesting activity appears on the display. Just as with the CTR mode, it is
possible to toggle the Main (VFO-A) or Sub (VFO-B) VFOs. It is also possible to utilize a dual display, with the
Main (VFO-A) VFO in the upper position, and the Sub (VFO-B) VFO below.
1. By pressing the [ F7 ]( CTR/FIX ) key, it is possible
to switch between the CTR mode and the FIX mode.
Select the CTR mode at this time.
2. Press the [ F2 ]( SPAN ) key to set the desired value
for the Span (bandwidth). By pressing the
[ F2 ]( SPAN ) key, the span will change as follows.

500 kHz 1000 kHz 2500 kHz 25 kHz ......
3. Press the [ F3 ]( ATT ) key to set the desired attenu-
ation value. By pressing the [ F3 ]( ATT ) key, the at-
tenuation will change as follows.

(VFO-A) and Sub (VFO-B) VFOs.
5. Press the [ F5 ]( DUAL ) key to engage dual spectral
display.
The Main VFO will appear in the upper display field,
and the Sub VFO will appear in the lower.
If the receive frequency is outside of the screen,
the position of the operating frequency will be
"shown" in the lower area of the display as "<<" ">>",
and " RCV Freq is out of range RCV Freq is out of range RCV Freq is out of range
