One-touch selection of each Amateur band between
1.8 and 50 MHz is provided.
If you press the [ BAND/MHz ] key momentarily,
the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob may be used as a band
selection knob. If the
[ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob
is pressed and held in for
two seconds, rotation of
the [ BAND/MHz ] key
allows frequency navi-
gation in 1 MHz steps.
When the [ BAND/MHz ] key's imbedded LED is
illuminated, the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob controls the
functions associated with the [ BAND/MHz ] key.
Depending on the setting of the [ A/B ] switch, the
function of the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob will change.
Please see page 32 for more details.
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.
