My Bands" Operation - Yaesu FT-2000 Operating Manual

C
ONVENIENCE
When operating on an Amateur Band, it is possible to use the [ BAND ] buttons to engage the use of the [ SUB VFO-B ] knob
for Amateur band selection. The "My Bands" feature allows you to select several Amateur bands, and make
bands available for selection via the [ SUB VFO-B ] knob.
This feature can be useful in a contest, where the 10/18/24 MHz band are not used, or if you do not have antennas for
some bands.
"My Bands" Setup
1. Press the [ MENU ] button to engage the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item
"122 tun MY BAND."
3. Rotate the [ SUB VFO-B ] knob to choose a band that
you wish to skip (omit) from the band-selection loop
(when using the [ SUB VFO-B ] knob for band selec-
tion). The available choices are 1.8/3.5/5/7/10/14/18/
21/24/28/50/GE (General Band)/AU (Transverter).
4. Press the [ ENT ] button to set the omission command
to ON. The "E" (Enable) notation at the right of the
band notation will change to "d" (disable).
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to select/deselect as many bands
as you like.
N :
The "ON" command sets the selected band to be
skipped, while the "OFF" command sets the selected
band to be included in the band-selection list. Return
the "d" notation to "E" to restore operation on a previ-
ously-deleted band.
6. Press and hold in the [ MENU ] button for two seconds
to lock in the new configuration and exit to normal
operation.
