QMB Quick Memory Bank Switches
STO ( Store ) Button
Pressing this button copies operating information (fre-
quency, mode, bandwidth, and also repeater direction/
shift frequency and CTCSS functions on the FM mode)
into consecutive QMB Memories.
RCL ( Recall ) Button
Pressing this button recalls one of up to five Quick
Memory Bank memories for operation.
NAR Narrow Switch
In the SSB/CW modes on the Main band (VFO-A), this
button is used to set the bandwidth of the DSP (digital)
IF filters to a user-programmed bandwidth (default
values are SSB: 1.8 kHz and CW/RTTY/PSK: 300 Hz).
A :
When [ NAR ] has been engaged, the [ WIDTH ] knob
will be disabled, although the [ SHIFT ] knob still works
normally.
In the SSB/CW modes on the Sub Band (VFO-B), this
button is used to toggle the receiver's bandwidth be-
tween wide (2.4 kHz) and narrow (1.0 kHz).
A :
When the Sub Band's (VFO-B) optional YF-122C (500
Hz) or YF-122CN (300 Hz) CW narrow filter is in-
stalled, the optional narrow filter will be activated when
the [ NAR ] switch has been engaged on the CW/RTTY/
PSK modes.
In the AM mode, this button is used to toggle the
receiver's bandwidth between wide (9 kHz) and nar-
row (6 kHz).
In the FM mode on the 28 MHz and 50 MHz bands,
this button is used to toggle the FM deviation/band-
width between wide (±5.0 kHz Dev./25.0 kHz BW)
and narrow (±2.5 kHz Dev./12.5 kHz BW).
Pressing the [ A ] or [ B ] button (located above the
[ MODE ] selection buttons) will select either the Main
band (VFO-A) or Sub band (VFO-B) for individual
bandwidth setting.
SPLIT Switch
Pressing this button to activate split frequency opera-
tion between the Main band (VFO-A), used for recep-
tion, and the Sub band (VFO-B), used for transmis-
sion. If you press and hold in the [ SPLIT ] button for
two seconds, the "Quick Split" feature will be engaged,
whereby the Sub band VFO (VFO-B) will automati-
cally be set to a frequency 5 kHz higher than the Main
band (VFO-A) frequency with same operating mode,
and the transceiver will be placed in the Split mode.
TXW "TX Watch" Switch
Pressing this button lets you monitor the transmit fre-
quency when split frequency operation is engaged.
Release the button to return to normal operation.

C.S Switch
Press this button momentarily to recall a favorite Menu
Selection directly.
To program a Menu selection as the short-cut, press
the [ MENU ] button to enter the Menu, then select the
Menu item you want to set as the short-cut. Now press
and hold in the [ C.S ] button for two seconds; this will
lock in the selected Menu item as the short-cut.
RX Indicator/Switch
This button, when pressed, engages the Main band
(VFO-A) receiver; the LED inside this button will glow
Green when the Main receiver is active.
When the Main (VFO-A) receiver is active, pressing
this button momentarily will mute the receiver, and the
indicator will blink. Pressing the button once more will
restore receiver operation, and the indicator will glow
Green steadily.
TX Indicator/Switch
When this button is pushed, the LED inside this button
will glow Red, and the transmitter will be engaged on
the same frequency and mode as set up for the Main
band (VFO-A) (subject to any Clarifier offset, of
course).
A :
If this indicator is not illuminated, it means that the
Sub (VFO-B) TX indicator has been selected (it will
be glowing Red). In this case, transmission will be ef-
fected on the frequency and mode programmed for the
Sub (VFO-B) band.
Main Tuning Dial Knob
This large knob adjusts the operating frequency of the
Main band (VFO-A) or a recalled memory. Clockwise
rotation of this knob increases the frequency. Default
tuning increments are 10 Hz (100 Hz in AM and FM
modes); when the [ FAST ] button is pressed, the tun-
ing steps increase. The available steps are:
O M
LSB/USB/CW/RTTY/PKT ( LSB )
AM/FM/PKT ( FM )
Numbers in parentheses indicate steps when the [

The tuning steps for the Main Tuning Dial knob are
set, at the factory, to 10 Hz per step. Via Menu item
"116 tun DIALSTP," however, you may change this
setting from 10 Hz to 1 Hz instead. When 1 Hz basic
steps are selected, the action of the [ FAST ] button will
be changed to 1/10 of the values listed above.
FAST Switch
Pressing this button will increase or decrease the tun-
ing rate of the Main Tuning Dial knob by a factor of
ten, as mentioned in the previous section.
