Split Operation - Vertex Standard Pilot VXA-210 Operating Manual

Split Operation

The split operation feature allows you to transmit a
call to a Flight Service Station using the COM band
frequencies, while receiving a VOR station (in the
NAV band). VOR stations equipped with this capa-
bility typically are shown, on navigation charts, with
the voice calling frequency in parenthesis above the
navigation frequency.
Programming a Transmit Frequency
r Press the DIAL selector knob, repeatedly if nec-
essary, to select the VFO mode.
r Set a NAV band (108.000 - 117.975 MHz) fre-
quency using the DIAL selector knob or keypad.
r Press [ F ] à [ MW ( SPL.W )] . The "SPL" icon
will blink, and the transmit frequency will ap-
pear on the display.
r Now set your radio's transmit frequency, where
the Flight Service Station will be listening for
calls, using the DIAL selector knob or keypad.
r Press and hold in the [ MW ( SPL.W )] key for 2
seconds to save the transmit frequency and re-
turn to the NAV band frequency.
Note: You have now stored the separate transmit fre-
quency, but you have not yet activated the split-fre-
quency function; go on to the next section.
