Keyboard Frequency Entry
You may enter operating frequencies, for either the VFO-
A or VFO-B bands, using the front panel band/frequency
selection keys.
Example 1: Enter 14.250.000 MHz into VFO-A
1. Press the [ ENT ] button to engage the direct frequency
entry process. Now, be-
ginning with the "10
MHz" digit of the fre-
quency (the leftmost
digit), we will enter the
required digits of the fre-
quency.
2. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the [ BAND ] buttons (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 1.8/1 ]
[ 10/4 ]
[ GEN/. ]
[ 14/5 ]
[ 50/0 ]
The decimal point after the "MHz" portion of the fre-
quency must be entered, but no decimal point is re-
quired after the "kHz" portion.
3. Press the [ ENT ] button once more. A short "beep" will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the Main
(VFO-A) frequency display fields.
Example 2: Enter 7.100.000 MHz into VFO-B
1. Press the [ B ] button, lo-
cated to the upper left of
the Main Tuning Dial
knob. The [ B ] button
will glow orange.
2. Press the [ ENT ] button
to engage the direct frequency entry process. Now,
beginning with the "10 MHz" digit of the frequency
(the leftmost digit), we will enter the required digits of
the frequency to be entered into the VFO-B register.
3. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the [ BAND ] buttons (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 21/7 ]
[ GEN/. ]
[ 1.8/1 ]
[ 50/0 ]
[ 50/0 ]
4. Press the [ ENT ] button once more. A short "beep" will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the VFO-
B frequency display, SUB DISPLAY- window.
A
:
If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the operat-
ing range of 30 kHz ~ 60 MHz, the microprocessor
will ignore the attempt, and you will be returned to
your previous operating frequency. If this happens,
please try again, taking care not to repeat the error in
the frequency entry process.

Using the UP / DWN Switches of the
Supplied MH-31
The [ UP ] / [ DWN ] switches on the supplied MH-31
Microphone may also be used for manually scanning up-
ward or downward in frequency.
The microphone [ UP ] / [ DWN ] switches utilize the tuning
steps of the Main Tuning Dial
knob; moreover, when the mi-
crophone [ FA S T ] key is
pressed, the tuning rate will change
to 100 Hz, similar to the effect of
the transceiver front-panel [ FAST ]
button.
A
:
In the AM and FM modes, you may in-
dependently set the tuning steps when
using the [ UP ] / [ DWN ] switches. To set
new tuning steps, use Menu items "145
TUN AM STEP" and "146 TUN FM
STEP".

Supplied FH-2 Remote Control Keypad
The [ ] / [ ] / [ ] / [ ] switches on the supplied FH-2
Remote Control Keypad may also be used for manually
changing of the VFO-A frequency.
Press the [ ] / [ ] buttons to change
the frequency in the same increments
as the microphone [ UP ] / [ DWN ]
switches. Press the [ ] / [ ] buttons to
change the frequency by 100 kHz
steps.
