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 to engage the direct frequency
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 (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 1.8/1 ] [ 7/4 ] [ 50/. ]
[ 28/0 ]
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 [ V-B ] key to engage the direct frequency
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 band (VFO-B) register.
2. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the [ BAND ] keys (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 18/7 ] [ 50/. ] [ 1.8/1 ]
[ 28/0 ]
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.

AVIGATION ECHNIQUES
In the above examples, you will notice that the
trailing "zero" digits of the frequency were not
entered. It is not necessary to enter these trail-
ing zeroes; just press the [ ENT ] to terminate
frequency entry, and they will be entered auto-
matically.
If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the
operating range of 30 kHz ~ 60 MHz, the mi-
croprocessor will ignore the attempt, and you
will be returned to your previous operating fre-
quency. If this happens, please try again, tak-
ing care not to repeat the error in the frequency
entry process.
Using the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob, you may change
the Main band (VFO-A) frequency in 1 MHz steps.
If you first press and
hold in the [ BAND/
MHz ] key for two sec-
onds, the 1 MHz steps
will be applied to the
Sub band (VFO-B) in-
stead. The imbedded
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 ] know will increase the fre-
quency, while counter-clockwise rotation will de-
crease the frequency.
Using the UP/DOWN switches of the optional
MD-200A8X Base Station Microphone
The [ UP ] / [ DOWN ] switches on the
optional MD-200
Base Station
A8X
Microphone may also be used for
manually scanning upward or down-
ward in frequency, respectively.
The microphone's [ UP ] / [ DOWN ]
switches utilize the tuning steps of
the [ Main Tuning Dial ] knob;
moreover, when the microphone's
[ FAST ] key is pressed, the tuning
rate increases by a factor of ten, in a manner similar to the
effect of the transceiver's front-panel [ FAST ] key.
MODE UP
LSB, USB, CW,
+10Hz
RTTY, PKT(LSB)
AM, FM, PKT(FM) +5kHz
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
"TUNING 142 AM CH STEP" and "TUNING
143 FM CH STEP."
