16 USEFUL FUNCTIONS
DISPLAYING THE OPERATION FREQUENCY ON THE
TRANSVERTER
While the transverter is active, the last digit of the
frequency display disappears, and the operating
frequency to be configured for the transverter appears.
1 Rotate the Tuning control to select the operating
frequency of the exciter (this transceiver).
The transverter converts and generates this frequency. You
must select the frequency to be within the range you can
transmit.
2 Press [XVTR] to enable the transverter.
"XVTR" appears on the main screen, and the frequency that
can be configured appears on the transverter.
3 Press [XVTR] again.
The transverter will be disabled.
Note:
◆ Even if the transverter is enabled, the frequencies to be displayed
on the Memory Channel List screen and bandscope are the
frequencies that have been configured for the transceiver.
◆ While the SWL screen is open, the transverter cannot be enabled.
◆ If the operating frequency to be configured for the transverter is not
configured for the transceiver, activating the transverter results the
last digit of the operating frequency in the transceiver disappears.
CONFIGURING THE FREQUENCY USING THE
TRANSVERTER
Follow the procedure below to convert the operating
frequency of the transceiver using the transverter.
1 Press [XVTR] to enable the transverter.
"XVTR" appears on the main screen.
2 Press [ENT] to allow you to enter the frequency.
3 Use the numeric and band selection keypad to enter
the transmit frequency for the transverter.
4 Press [ENT] to determine the entry.
The transceiver displays the output frequency of the
transverter in place of the actual operating frequency.
Note:
◆ The operating frequency for the transverter cannot be entered
without using the numeric and band selection keypad.
◆ If you change the frequency after you enter it using a numeric
keypad, the frequency of the transverter may exceed "4.294.967.2"
or fall below 30 kHz. In these cases, the frequency may not be
displayed correctly.
◆ The frequency step size that can be changed in the transverter is
10 Hz or 100 Hz; hence, the frequency is displayed in steps of 10
Hz or 100 Hz on the main display.
◆ In both main band and sub band, the displayed frequency can be
changed.
◆ To connect the transverter which has a standby terminal or ALC
output, use the REMOTE connector.
