I Split frequency operation

Split frequency operation allows you to transmit and
receive on two different frequencies. Split frequency
operation uses 2 frequencies, one in VFO A and the
other in VFO B.
Following is an example of setting 7.057 MHz, CW
mode in VFO A (for receive) and 7.025 MHz, CW
mode in VFO B (for transmit).
➀
Select VFO A and set the frequency to 7.057
MHz/CW.

To change the receive frequency, rotate the main
dial; to change the transmit frequency, rotate the
main dial while pushing [
D Quick split function
In M1, when you push [
quency operation is turned ON and VFO B is auto-
matically changed according to the plus/minus pre-
programmed shift frequency set in initial set mode (or
equalized when 0 kHz is programmed as the split
shift frequency). This shortens the time needed to
start split frequency operation—great for DX'ing.
No shift frequency is programmed.
+10 kHz is programmed as a shift
frequency.

• Split lock function
The split lock function is convenient for changing only
the transmit frequency. Otherwise, accidentally
releasing the [
main dial changes the receive frequency. The split
lock's effectiveness can be selected in initial set
mode (item 12) for both receive and transmit fre-
quencies; or only the receive frequency. (p. 52)
The quick split function is ON by default. If desired, it
can be turned OFF in initial set mode (p. 51). In this
case, pushing [

While pushing [LOCK], push [POWER] to turn
power ON and enter initial set mode.
