The FT 9000 Contest utilizes a triple band-
DX
stack VFO selection technique, that permits you
to store up to three favorite frequencies and modes
onto each band's VFO register. For example, you
may store one frequency each on 14 MHz CW,
RTTY, and USB, then recall these VFOs by suc-
cessive, momentary presses of the 14 MHz band
key (# ). Each Amateur band key may similarly
have up to three frequency/mode settings applied.
