Vfo A Enter; Vfo B Enter; A>B, B>A, A/B - Ten-Tec Orion 565 Manual

(58) VFO A ENTER

ORION allows for direct frequency entry
from the keypad for either VFO. To enter a
frequency into VFO A, press VFO A ENTER
and then use the keypad to enter a
frequency. Use the decimal point button.
Example: To enter 7.160000 MHz, press
VFO A ENTER, "7", ".", "1", "6", VFO A
ENTER. When VFO A ENTER is pressed
the second time during a direct frequency
entry, the remaining digits will be filled with
zeros. Note: If VFO A is assigned to the
main receiver, and you try to enter a non-
ham frequency, FREQUENCY NOT
SUPPORTED will appear on the screen and
you will be returned to the last frequency
used before attempting the invalid direct
entry.

(59) VFO B ENTER

Refer to instructions for (58) VFO A ENTER.
VFO B ENTER works exactly the same,
except the entered frequency will be for
VFO B.
(60) A>B, B>A, A/B
Frequencies can quickly be copied or
"flipped" between VFOs by pressing the
A>B, B>A, or A/B buttons. A>B copies
frequency information from VFO A to VFO
B. B>A copies frequency information from
VFO B to VFO A. A/B "flips" the two VFO's
frequency information; what was shown for
A copies to B, what was shown for B copies
to A.
Note that if trying to copy or flip a non-ham
frequency to the main receiver that the radio
will show an error message on the screen
and revert to the last used frequencies
before the invalid action was attempted.
It is possible to have the A>B and B>A
buttons also copy the DSP bandwidth filter
when copying from one to the other. In the
RX MENU, if BW Track is set to "on",
pressing A>B or B>A will copy the frequency
information and the DSP bandwidth filter.
The default for BW Track is "off".
Additionally, the A/B button is used to
change the default VFO for band changing
with the keypad. Next to the two frequency
displays at the extreme left of the screen are
the "A" and "B" annunciators. One of the
two will be highlighted in reverse text to
indicate it is the entry VFO for the band
