You may enter operating frequencies, for either the VFO-
A or VFO-B, using the front panel band/frequency selec-
tion keys.
Example 1:
Enter 14.250.00 MHz into the VFO-A:
1. Press the [ A ] key.
2. Press the [ ENT ] key to engage the direct frequency
entry process. Now, beginning with the "10 MHz" digit
of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we will enter the
required digits of the frequency.
3. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the [ BAND ] keys (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 1/1.8 ] [ 4/7 ] [ ./50 ] [ 2/3.5 ] [ 5/10 ]
[ 0/28 ] [ 0/28 ] [ 0/28 ] [ 0/28 ]
The decimal point after the "MHz" portion of the fre-
quency must be entered, but no decimal point is re-
quired after the "kHz" portion.
4. Press the [ ENT ] key once more. A short "beep" will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the VFO-
A frequency display fields.
Example 2:
Enter 7.100.000 MHz into the VFO-B:
1. Press the [ B ] key.
2. Press the [ ENT ] key to engage the direct frequency
entry process. Now, beginning with the "10 MHz" digit
of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we will enter the
required digits of the frequency to be entered into the
VFO-B register.
3. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the [ BAND ] keys (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 7/18 ] [ ./50 ] [ 1/1.8 ] [ 0/28 ]
[ 0/28 ] [ 0/28 ] [ 0/28 ] [ 0/28 ]
4. Press the [ ENT ] key once more. A short "beep" will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the VFO-
A frequency display fields.
If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the operating range of 30 kHz ~ 60 MHz, the microprocessor will ignore
the attempt, and you will be returned to your previous operating frequency. If this happens, please try again, taking
care not to repeat the error in the frequency entry process.

You may change the VFO-A frequency in 1 MHz steps. If
you first press and hold in the
[ BAND/MHz ] key for two sec-
onds, the 1 MHz steps will be
applied to the VFO-B instead.
The imbedded LED in the
[ BAND/MHz ] key will glow
Red in the latter case.
When tuning in 1 MHz steps, clockwise rotation of the
[ CLAR/VFO-B ] know will increase the frequency, while
counter-clockwise rotation will decrease the frequency.

tion Microphone may also be used
for manually scanning upward or
downward in frequency, respec-
tively.
The microphone's [ UP ] / [ DOWN
switches utilize the tuning steps of
the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob;
moreover, when the microphone's
[ FAST ] key is pressed, the tuning rate increases by a fac-
tor of ten, in a manner similar to the effect of the
transceiver's front-panel [ FAST ] key.

In the AM and FM modes, you may independently
set the tuning steps when using the UP/DOWN
switches. To set new tuning steps, use Menu items
"TUNING 142 AM CH STEP" and "TUNING
143 FM CH STEP."
