Direct Frequency Entry; Selecting An Output Power - Kenwood TH-K40A Instruction Manual

In addition to rotating the ENC control, there is another way to select the
frequency. When the desired frequency is far away from the current frequency,
you can directly enter a frequency using the numeric keypad.
1 Press [VFO].
• You must be in the VFO Mode to make the direct frequency entry.
2 Press [ENT].
3 Press the numeric keys ([STEP] (0) to [PF] (9)) to enter your desired
frequency. [LAMP] ( ) allows you to complete the MHz digits entry.
• Pressing [ENT] fills all remaining digits (the digits you did not enter) with 0 and
completes the entry. For example, to select 145.000 MHz, press [MENU] (1),
[SQL] (4), and [T.SEL] (5), then press [ENT] to complete the entry.
• If you want to revise the MHz digits only, leaving the kHz digits as they are, press
[VFO] in place of [ENT].
Note:
◆ If the entered frequency does not match the current frequency step size, the frequency is
automatically rounded down to the next available frequency.
◆ When the desired frequency cannot be entered exactly, confirm the frequency step size.
◆ If you rotate the ENC control while entering the frequency, the transceiver clears the
entry.
Selecting a lower transmit power is the best way to reduce battery consumption, if
communication is still reliable.
Press [LOW] to toggle between high, medium and low power.
• No icon appears when using high transmit power.
• The " " icon appears when using medium transmit power.
• The " " icon appears when using lower transmit power.
Note: When the transceiver overheats due to ambient high temperature or continuously
transmitting, the protective circuit may activate, lowering the transmit output power.
