Receiving in the Manual Mode
Direct Tuning
If you know the frequency of a station, tune in directly by
inputting the frequency digits on the number keys.
1
Set the SQL control to MIN.
2
Press POWER to turn the receiver on
3
If you are in the Scanning Mode, press SCAN to enter
the Manual Mode.
4 Tune in by pressing the number keys for the
frequency digits.
5
Press EXE.
Example: to tune in directly to 128.6375 MHz
Press O~O~O~.~~~O~O~O~O~EXE
To cancel Direct Tuning input
Press ERASE before pressing EXE.
Notes
*The frequency steps and detection modes will be set to default
(see "Frequency range of the bands", page 10). To change the
frequency step or detection mode, press STEP or MODE after
you have tuned in a frequency (see "Adjusting frequency step
and detection mode", page 31).
*If the frequency you have input is not a step frequency, the
frequency will automatically change to a step frequency.
*If you tune in directly (i.e., input frequency digits and press EXE)
in the Scanning Mode, the receiver will go into the Manual
Mode. However, this is not the case during Memory Scanning;
pressing the number keys will add/delete scanning target pages.
*If the frequency is a round figure above the decimal point, you
do not need to input the digits below the decimal point.
Example: to tune in directly to 128.000 MHz
*If you take more than 10 seconds between key input, Direct
Tuning will be cancelled and the receiver returns to the previous
condition.
Note on band border frequencies in Direct Tuning or
Manual Tuning
The highest frequency of a band is the same as the lowest
frequency of the next band (except for that of the highest band).
For these frequencies, the default frequency steps and detection
modes are set as the lowest frequencies of the next band.
