remembered until you return to this "subband" selec-
tion.
Try this now: assuming you have already set one of
the vfo selections to the SSB portion of the band (and
in an SSB mode), press the keypad key for that same
band, tune to the low end of the band, and press the CW
button to the left of the tuning knob. You can consider
this your CW subband vfo. Now press the keypad key
for the same band again several times, and notice that
Operation shifts back and forth between the SSB and
CW subband vfo frequencies and modes. You'll be
pleased to know that you can also select different IF
bandwidths for the two subbands, just as you did above
with the modes (and even different clarifier settings).
Note that this dual subband feature is not related to the
vfo A/B scheme — both main vfo A and sub vfo B
Support their own dual subbands, independently of one
another. More on that later.
Keypad Frequency Entry
One other important tuning feature to try before
going on is numeric keypad frequency entry. To do this,
pick a new operating frequency, say, 14.25000 MHz,
and enter it on the keypad as follows:

frequency digit will blink), a | | a

can use the DOWN and UP buttons below the keypad to

key. Note that, to enter frequencies below 10 MHz, you
must key in the leading zeros.
That's all there is to tuning the main vfo (A). The
sub vfo (B) has a lot more features of .ts own, which
we' ll look at in detail later. First, however, let's look at
some other important receiver features.
General Coverage Reception
Once you become familiar with the memories, you
will find this really doesn't present a problem, as each
memory can be tuned just like a vfo, and stored into
another channel without having to go through a vfo.
