A powerful capability of the FT
(VFO-B) frequency registers. This makes the FT
operation capability is very advanced and easy to use.
1. Set the VFO-A frequency as desired.
2. Set the VFO-B frequency.
3. Now press the [ SPLIT ] button briefly. The front panel
switch/LEDs will look like this:
( VFO-A )[ RX ] button: LED glows green
( VFO-A )[ TX ] button: LED off
( VFO-B )[ RX ] button: LED off
( VFO-B )[ TX ] button: LED glows red
4. During Split operation, the VFO-A register will be used
for reception, while the VFO-B register will be used
for transmission. If you press the [ SPLIT ] button once
more, Split operation will be cancelled.
( VFO-A )[ RX ] button: LED glows green
( VFO-A )[ TX ] button: LED glows red
( VFO-B )[ RX ] button: LED off
( VFO-B )[ TX ] button: LED off
5. You may also press the ( VFO-A )[ TX ] button to return
transmit frequency control to the VFO-A side, thereby
canceling split operation.
A :
During normal (non-split) VFO-A operation, you may
simply press the ( VFO-B )[ TX ] button (located above
and to the right of the [ CLAR ( VFO-B )] knob) to en-
gage Split operation. The ( VFO-B )[ TX ] button will
glow red when you press the button.
During Split operation, pressing the [ A B ] button will
reverse the contents of VFO-A and VFO-B. Press the
[ A B ] button once more, to return to the original fre-
quency alignment.
During Split operation, if you press the ( VFO-B )[ RX ]
button above and to the right of the [ CLAR ( VFO-B )]
knob, you will engage Dual Receive operation. Now
you can listen to both sides of the DX pile-up, and
transmit on the VFO-B frequency. This is very useful
to determine the timing of your calls, while also moni-
toring both sides of the pile-up.
During Split operation, you may also listen to the TX
frequency temporarily, by pressing the [ TXW ] button
(just below the [ SPLIT ] button).
It is possible to set different operating modes (for ex-
ample, LSB and USB) on the two VFOs used during
Split operation.
During Split operation, it is also possible to set VFO-
A and VFO-B to different amateur bands. But, remem-
ber that Dual Reception must be within the same band.

Press and hold in the [ SPLIT ] button for two seconds
again to increment the VFO-B frequency another + 5
kHz and keep the transmission control to VFO-B.
