LSB, USB, CW, AM, FM, RTTY, PKT Button
Pressing the [ LSB ] , [ USB ] , [ CW ] , [ AM ] , [ FM ] ,
[ RTTY ] , or [ PKT ] button will select the operating
mode. Pressing the [ CW ] , [ AM ] , [ RTTY ] , or [ PKT ]
button multiple times will switch between the alter-
nate operating features that can be used on these
modes (covered later). Also, when you press and hold
in the [ PKT ] button for one second, the user-pro-
grammed custom function setting mode will be acti-
vated.
QMB ( Quick Memory Bank ) Switch
STO ( Store ) Button
Pressing this button copies operating information (fre-
quency, mode, bandwidth, and also repeater direction/
shift frequency and CTCSS functions on the FM
mode) into consecutive QMB Memories.
RCL ( Recall ) Button
Pressing this button recalls one of up to five Quick
Memory Bank memories for operation.
NAR ( Narrow ) Switch
In the SSB/CW mode, this button is used to set the
bandwidth of the DSP IF filters to a user-programmed
bandwidth (default values are SSB: 1.8 kHz, CW/
RTTY/PSK: 300 Hz, AM: 6 kHz). When [ NAR ] has
been engaged, the [ WIDTH ] knob will be disabled.
In the AM mode, this button is used to toggle the
receiver's bandwidth between wide (9 kHz) and nar-
row (6 kHz).
In the FM mode on the 28 MHz and 50 MHz bands,
this button is used to toggle the FM deviation/band-
width between wide (± 5.0 kHz Dev./25.0 kHz BW)
and narrow (± 2.5 kHz Dev./12.5 kHz BW).
Pressing the [ A ] or [ B ] button (located above the
MODE selection buttons) will select either the VFO-
A or VFO-B for individual bandwidth setting.

DVICE
When [ NAR ] has been engaged, the [ WIDTH ] knob
will be disabled, although IF Shift still works nor-
mally.
SPLIT Switch
Pressing this button to activates split frequency op-
eration between the VFO-A, used for transmission
and VFO-B, used for reception. The same name LED
located at the right of the main tuning knob glows
orange while this function is active.
If you press and hold in the [ SPLIT ] switch for two
seconds, the "Quick Split" feature will be engaged,
whereby the VFO-B will automatically be set to a fre-
quency 5 kHz higher than the VFO-A frequency, and
the transceiver will be placed in the Split mode.
TXW "TX Watch" Switch
Pressing this key lets you monitor the transmit fre-
quency when split frequency operation is engaged.
When receiving on the transmit frequency, the LED
indicator will glow green. Release the key to return
to normal operation.

RX Indicator/Switch
This is the switch that the VFO-A On and Off. When
the VFO-A is activated, the Green LED imbedded
within the switch will light up.
TX Indicator/Switch
When this button is pushed, the indicator will glow
Red, and the transmitter will be engaged on the same
frequency and mode as was set up for the VFO-A
(subject to any Clarifier offset, of course).
A
DVICE
If this indicator is not illuminated, it means that the
VFO-B TX indicator has been selected (it will be
glowing Red). In this case, transmission will be ef-
fected on the frequency and mode programmed for
the VFO-B.
Main Tuning Dial Knob
This large knob adjusts the operating frequency of
the VFO-A or a recalled memory. Clockwise rotation
of this knob increases the frequency. Default tuning
increments are 10 Hz (100 Hz in AM and FM modes);
when the [ FAST ] switch is pressed, the tuning steps
increase. The available steps are:
Operating Mode 1 Step*
LSB/USB/CW/RTTY/PKT ( LSB ) 10 Hz ( 100 Hz ) 10 kHz ( 100 kHz )
AM/FM/PKT ( FM ) 100 Hz ( 1 kHz ) 100 kHz ( 1 MHz )
*Numbers in parentheses indicate steps when the [ FAST ] switch is
On.

DVICE
The tuning steps for the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob
(described in this section) are set, at the factory, to 10
Hz per step. Via Menu item "TUNING 139 DIAL
STEP," however, you may change this setting from
10 Hz to 5 Hz or 1 Hz instead. When press the [ FAST ]
button (# below), the tuning step change to 100
Hz.
FAST Switch
Pressing this button will increase or decrease the tun-
ing rate of the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob (#
by a factor of ten, as mentioned in the previous sec-
tion.
When this function is activated, the LED inside the
button will glow red.
LOCK Switch
This button toggles locking of the main tuning knob,
to prevent accidental frequency changes. When the
button is active, the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob (#
described previously) can still be turned, but the fre-
quency will not change, and the LED inside the but-
ton will glow red.
