Qbandp And Qmhzp Keys; Direct Frequency Entry Via 12-Key Keypad - Yaesu FT-847 Operating Manual

qBANDp qMHzp K
AND
The [BAND] keys may be used, in the VFO mode, to
jump to the next Amateur band above (p) or below
(q) the current operating band. When moving to a
new band, the FT-847 will move you to the last fre-
quency and mode on which you were operating on that
band.
If the [FAST] key has activated the "F
ing the qBANDp keys will cause the transceiver to
toggle between HF (the last band/frequency on which
you were operating), 50 MHz, 144 MHz, and 430 MHz;
all the HF bands other than the last one on which you
were operating will be bypassed.
The [MH ] keys, similarly, are used in the VFO mode
Z
to move up (p) or down (q) in frequency by 1 MHz.
If the [FAST] key has been pressed, the frequency jump
will be 10 MHz, instead of 1 MHz.
If you wish to execute either a band change or a 1
MHz frequency change on the Sub VFO, press the
[SUB] key first, then either a [qBANDp] key or a
p] key, then press [SUB] again.

Can't Change HF Ham Bands?
If you find that you are "stuck" on one HF Ama-
teur band, and cannot change to another HF band
using the [qBANDp] key(s), it likely is be-
cause you have the "Fast" tuning mode activated
(look for the "FAST" icon on the display. In this
mode, pressing the [qBANDp] keys toggles
band change from HF to 50 MHz to 144 MHz
to 430 MHz.
Press the [FAST] key to recover the ability to
toggle among the various HF bands (the "FAST"
icon will disappear).

IRECT REQUENCY
The 12-key Keypad provides a simple, efficient way
to enter a starting frequency for operation on a band.
The procedure for entering a frequency is simple:
l Press the [ENT] key to begin the entry process.
l Enter the "MHz" portion of the frequency on
which you wish to operate.
l Now enter the decimal point [ l ] in the fre-
quency (this key is shared with the "T. C
function, and is located just to the right of the
[6] key).
l Enter any desired remaining digits of the fre-
quency.
l Press [ENT] to complete the frequency entry
procedure.
Example: Enter 432.007 MHz onto the Main VFO
l If you complete the frequency entry down to the
10 Hz digit, it is not necessary to key in the final
"[ENT]" keystroke, as the transceiver will recog-
nize a complete frequency entry.
Example: Enter 14.267.890 MHz
Note: Do not enter the second decimal point in the
frequency; doing so returns the entry pro-
cess to the first digit after the decimal point
which follows the "MHz" digits.
l The Keypad may also be used to enter frequencies
into the Sub VFO register. To do this, press [SUB]
before pressing [ENT] in the frequency entry pro-
cess.
Example: Enter 7.065.2 MHz CW into the Sub VFO
Register
Note: You do not need to enter any leading zeroes
prior to entry of the "MHz" digits.
