Programming The Key Assignment; Changing The Channel Steps - Yaesu FT-270R Operating Manual

If you forget the password number, you may turn on the transceiver by per-
forming the "All Reset" procedure (see page 65). However, the FT-270R will
clear the password, as well as all memories, and will restore all other settings
to factory defaults.

Default FT-270R Set Mode Items have been assigned (at the factory) to the [ 7 ( P1 )] and
[ 8 ( P2 )] keys. These may be changed by the user, if you wish to assign another Set Mode
Item to either or both of these keys.
To change the assignment of a key's Set Mode Item:
1. Press the [ F/L ] key, then press the [ 0 ( SET )] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item which you wish to assign to the key
as a Menu short-cut.
3. Press and hold in the [ 7 ( P1 )] or [ 8 ( P2 )] key for one second to assign the Set Mode
Item to the [ 7 ( P1 )] or [ 8 ( P2 )] key.
The following Set Mode Items may not be assigned to the [7(P1)] and [8(P2)] keys.
Set Mode Item 11: CW WRT
Set Mode Item 17: DT WRT
Set Mode Item 31: PSWD W
The FT-270R's synthesizer provides the option of utilizing channel steps of 5/10/12.5/15/
20/25/50/100 kHz per step, as well as an automatic step selection based on the current
operating frequency ("AUTO"), any number of which may be important to your operating
requirements. The FT-270R is set up at the factory in the "AUTO" configuration, which
probably is satisfactory for most operation. However, if you need to change the channel
step increments, the procedure to do so is very easy.
1. Press the [ F/L ] key, then press the [ 0 ( SET )] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 45:
3. Press the [ F/L ] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the new channel step size.
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to
save the new setting and return to normal operation.
