ONVENIENCE
When operating on an Amateur Band, it is possible to use the [ BAND ] buttons to engage the use of the [ SUB VFO-B ] knob
for Amateur band selection. The "My Bands" feature allows you to select several Amateur bands, and make only those
bands available for selection via the [ SUB VFO-B ] knob.
This feature can be very useful in a contest, where the 10/18/24 MHz band are not used, or if you do not have antennas for
some bands.

2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item

3. Rotate the [ SUB VFO-B ] knob to choose a band that
you wish to skip (omit) from the band-selection loop
(when using the [ SUB VFO-B ] knob for band selec-
tion). The available choices are 1.8/3.5/5/7/10/14/18/
21/24/28/50/GE (General Band)/AU (Transverter).
4. Press the [ ENT ] button to set the omission command
to ON. The "E E E E E " (Enable) notation at the right of the
band notation will change to "d d d d d " (disable).

as you like.

ously-deleted band.
