Main Dial Knob
This large knob adjusts the operating frequency of
the Main band (VFO-A) or a recalled memory. Clock-
wise rotation of this knob increases the frequency.
Default tuning increments are 10 Hz (100 Hz in AM
and FM modes); when the [ FAST ] switch is pressed,
the tuning steps increase. The available steps are:
Operating Mode
LSB/USB/CW/RTTY/PKT(LSB)
AM/FM/PKT(FM)
* Numbers in parentheses indicate steps when the [ FAST ] switch
is On.

The tuning steps for the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob
(described in this section) are set, at the factory, to 10
Hz per step. Via Menu item "TUNING 139 DIAL
STEP," however, you may change this setting from
10 Hz to 5 Hz or 1 Hz instead. When press the [ FAST ]
button, the tuning step change to 100 Hz.
FAST Switch
Pressing this button will change the tuning step of the
[ Main Tuning Dial ] knob to 100 Hz.
When this function is activated, the LED inside the
button will glow red.
LOCK Switch
This button toggles locking of the main tuning knob,
to prevent accidental frequency changes. When the
button is active, the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob can
still be turned, but the frequency will not change, and
the LED inside the button will glow green.
NAR ( Narrow ) Switch
In the SSB/CW mode, this button is used to set the
bandwidth of the DSP IF filters to a user-programmed
bandwidth (default values are SSB: 1.8 kHz, CW/
RTTY/PSK: 300 Hz, AM: 6 kHz). When [ NAR ] has
been engaged, the [ WIDTH ] knob will be disabled.
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 activates split frequency op-
eration between the Main band (VFO-A), used for
transmission and Sub band (VFO-B), used for recep-
tion. The same name LED located at the right of the
main tuning knob glows orange while this function is
active.
If you press and hold in the [ SPLIT ] switch for two
seconds, the "Quick Split" feature will be engaged,
whereby the Sub band (VFO-B) VFO will automati-
cally be set to a frequency 5 kHz higher than the Main
band (VFO-A) frequency, and the transceiver will be
placed in the Split mode.
TXW "TX Watch" Switch
Pressing this key lets you monitor the transmit fre-
quency when split frequency operation is engaged.
When receiving on the transmit frequency, the LED
indicator will glow green. Release the key 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 [ MNU ] key to enter the Menu, then select the item
you want to set as the short-cut. Now press and hold
in the [ C/S ] key for two seconds; this will lock in the
selected Menu item as the short-cut.
The LED to the left of this switch will flash red when
the transmit and receive serial CAT command signals
are being exchanged.

You may disable the LED function (flashes in con-
junction with CAT command) via Menu item "GEN-
ERAL 037 CAT DATA INDICATOR." See page
148 for details.
A B Switch
Press this button momentarily to transfer data from
the Main band (VFO-A) frequency (or a recalled
memory channel) to the Sub band (VFO-B), over-
writing any previous contents in the Sub band (VFO-
B). Use this key to set both Main band (VFO-A) and
Sub band (VFO-B) receivers to the same frequency
and mode.
B A Switch
Press this button momentarily to transfer data from
the Sub band (VFO-B) frequency to the Main band
(VFO-A), overwriting any previous contents in the
Main band (VFO-A). Use this key to set both Main
band (VFO-A) and Sub band (VFO-B) receivers to
the same frequency and mode.
A B Switch
Pressing this button momentarily exchanges the con-
tents of the Main band (VFO-A) (or a recalled memory
channel) and the Sub band (VFO-B).
