Keyboard Frequency Entry

You may enter operating frequencies directly into the cur-
rent VFO, using the front panel [ BAND ] key buttons.
Example: Enter 14.250.00 MHz
1. Press the [ ENT ] button to
engage the direct frequency
entry process. Now, begin-
ning with the first digit of
the frequency (the leftmost
digit), we will enter the required digits of the frequency.
2. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the [ BAND ] buttons (the frequency entry digit
or decimal point is printed on the right side of the but-
tons). In this example, enter
[ 1.8 ( 1 )] [ 10 ( 4 )]
[ 14 ( 5 )] [ 50 ( 0 )]
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.
3. Press the [ ENT ] button once more. A short "beep" will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the dis-
play.

If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the operat-
ing range of 30 kHz ~ 56 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.
Using the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob
You may change the current VFO frequency in 1 MHz
steps. Press the [ MHz ] button
located at the bottom and left
of the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob.
The 1 MHz steps will be ap-
plied to the current VFO fre-
quency. The imbedded LED
in the [ MHz ] button will glow
orange in the latter case.
When tuning in 1 MHz steps,
clockwise rotation of the
[ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob will increase the frequency, while
counter-clockwise rotation will decrease the frequency.

The microphone's [ UP ] / [ DWN ]
buttons utilize the tuning steps of
the Main Tuning Dial knob. When
the microphone's [ FST ] button is
pressed, the tuning rate increases by a
factor of ten, in a manner similar to the
transceiver front panel [ FST ] button.
