Keyboard Frequency Entry
You may enter operating frequencies, for either the Main
(VFO-A) or Sub (VFO-B) bands, using the front panel
band/frequency selection keys.
Example 1:
Enter 14.250.00 MHz into the Main (VFO-A) band:
1. Press the ENT key (#
quency entry process. Now, beginning with the "10
MHz" digit of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we
will enter the required digits of the frequency.
2. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the BAND keys (#
quency-entry digit or decimal point on the right side
of the slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 1/1.8 ] « [ 4/7 ] « [ ./50 ] « [ 2/3.5 ] « [ 5/10 ] «
[ 0/28 ] « [ 0/28 ] « [ 0/28 ] « [ 0/28 ]
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 key 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 the Sub (VFO-B) band:
1. Press the B key (#
2. Press the ENT key (#
quency 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 Sub (VFO-B) band register.
3. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the BAND keys (#
quency-entry digit or decimal point on the right side
of the slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 7/18 ] « [ ./50 ] « [ 1/1.8 ] « [ 0/28 ] «
[ 0/28 ] « [ 0/28 ] « [ 0/28 ] « [ 0/28 ]
4. Press the ENT key 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.
Advice
H In the above examples, you will notice that the trail-
ing "zero" digits of the frequency were not entered. It
is not necessary to enter these trailing zeroes; just press
the ENT to terminate frequency entry, and they will
be entered automatically.

H 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.
Ë Using the CLAR/VFO-B knob (#
change the Main (VFO-A) band frequency in 1 MHz
steps. If you first press and hold in the BAND/MHz
key (# ) for two seconds, the 1 MHz steps will be
applied to the Sub (VFO-B) band instead. The imbed-
ded LED in the BAND/MHz key will glow Red in
the latter case.
When tuning in 1 MHz
steps, clockwise rotation
of the CLAR/VFO-B
knob will increase the fre-
quency, while counter-
clockwise rotation will
cecrease the frequency.
Ë Using the UP/DOWN switches of the optional
MD-200A8X Base Station Microphone
The [ UP ] / [ DOWN ] switches on the optional MD-200
Base Station Microphone may also be used for manually
scanning upward or downward in frequency, respectively.
The microphone's [ UP ] / [ DOWN ]
switches utilize the tuning steps of
the Main tuning knob; moreover,
when the microphone's [ FAST ] key
is pressed, the tuning rate increases
by a factor of ten, in a manner simi-
lar to the effect of the transceiver's
front-panel FAST key (#
Advice
In the AM and FM modes, you may independently set the
tuning steps when using the [ UP ] / [ DOWN ] switches. To
set new tuning steps, use Menu items [
