Quick Split Function - Icom IC-7000 Instruction Manual

■ Quick split function

consideration is how to set the split frequency.
When you hold down [F-1 SPL] (M-1) for 1 second, split
frequency operation is turned ON, the undisplayed VFO
is automatically changed according to the plus/minus shift
frequency programmed in the miscellaneous (others) Set
mode (p. 129) or equalized with the displayed VFO when
0.000 MHz (default) is programmed as the split offset
frequency.
This shortens the time needed to start split frequency
operation.
Quick split operation is turned ON by default but can be
turned OFF in the miscellaneous (others) Set mode (p. 129).
q Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB)
in VFO A.
w Hold down [F-1 SPL] (M-1) for 1 second.
• Split frequency operation is turned ON.
• The VFO A and VFO B are equalized.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
When you are searching for DX stations and you
suspect that a DX station may say "up 'X' kHz" for
their receive frequency:
OPERATION 1
q Hold down [F-1 SPL] (M-1) for 1 second to
standby for split operation.
w If the DX station's operator says "up 10 kHz."
• Push [F-INP/ENT], [1], [0] then [F-1 SPL] (M-1).
• Or, rotate the tuning dial.
OPERATION 2
If the DX station's operator says "down 5 kHz"
before you enter standby for split operation:
➥ Push [F-INP/ENT], [•], [5] then [F-1 SPL] (M-1).
• The split function is turned ON and "5 kHz down"
frequency is entered in the sub readout.
[AF]
Menu selection (Example: M-1)
• Push [MENU/GRP] for 1 second once or twice to select
• Push [MENU/GRP] momentarily one or more times to
