* optional
Press the MH/CH down and up keys (to
the immediate right of the tuning knob),
one at a time. The displayed vfo frequency
steps down and up in 1
MHz steps (10
MHz steps on the 1.2 GHz band).

Mode Selection
The MODE keys below the right side of
the display allow quick selection of mode.
LSB and USB are referred to collectively
as "SSB modes" in this manual.
Adjust the AF control (inner knob to the
left of the tuning knob) for comfortable
audio volume, and the TONE control (outer
knob,
to the left of the AF control) for
comfortable tone from the loudspeaker.

Tuning Methods
Aside from band selection and the 1 MHz
giant steps just mentioned, there are four
ways to tune the vfos: the main tuning
knob, the large DOWN/UP keys just above
the
tuning knob
(and the microphone
dwn/up keys, which act the same), and the
CHANNEL knob below and to the right of
the main tuning knob. Try each of these.
Tuning steps for each method are deter--
mined by mode, and are also selectable by
the STEP key (center left side of the
keypad) and by the FM CH and SSB CH
switches left of the tuning knob. Refer to
the table at the bottom of the page while
reading the following descriptions.
(1) Main Tuning Knob
In CW and SSB modes, the main knob
tunes
in either 10 or
100 Hz steps,
selectable b}, the STEP key. In FM modes,
the main knob tunes in 100 Hz steps.
Tuning rate is about 1000 steps/turn.
Note that the D LOCK, FM CH and SSB
CH switches to the left of the main tuning
knob disable. it. D LOCK is for intention-
ally locking the knob when you want to
avoid accidental frequency changes. FM CH
and SSB CH disable the knob in their
respective (FM, and SSB or CW) modes,
while activating the CHANNEL knob for
channelized tuning.
(2) CHANNEL Knob
In SSB and CW modes with the SSB CH
switch depressed, this knob tunes in 2.5 or
5 kHz steps, toggled by the STEP key. In
FM modes with the FM CH switch depres-
sed, this knob tunes in programmable 5,
10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 50 kHz steps.
Step programming is described in §4.8.
