Band Stack Operation

The FT-710 employs a triple band-stack VFO se-
lection technique that permits storing up to three
favorite frequencies and modes onto each band
VFO register.
A typical setup, for the 14MHz band, might be ar-
ranged like this:
1. Program 14.0250 MHz, CW-U Mode, then
press the [BAND] key then touch [14].
2. Program 14.0800 MHz, RTTY-L Mode, then
press the [BAND] key then touch [14].
3. Program 14.1950 MHz, USB Mode, then
press the [BAND] key then touch [14].
With this configuration, successive momentary
presses of the [BAND] key and then touching
[14] will step sequentially through the three Band
Stack VFOs.
