[XFC] Tuning dial [LOCK]
When you push [SPLIT] for 2 sec., split frequency op-
eration is turned ON and VFO B is automatically
changed according to the plus/minus shift frequency
programmed in set mode (p. 61) or equalized when 0
kHz is programmed as the split shift frequency. Quick
split operation is turned ON by default but can be
turned OFF in set mode (p. 61).
Push [SPLIT] for 2 sec. to turn split frequency oper-
ation ON.
• VFO A and VFO B are equalized.
CH
While pushing [XFC], rotate the tuning dial to set the
frequency offset between transmit and receive.
• When [XFC] is released, the receive frequency is indi-
cated.
By setting an often-used split frequency offset in ad-
vance, you can use the quick split function to select
split operation at the push of one switch.
Set the split offset frequency in advance in set mode
(p. 61, item 12). The example at left shows the split off-
set is set to +0.013 MHz.
Push [SPLIT] for 2 sec. to activate the quick split
function.
• The receive frequency is offset from the transmit fre-
quency according to the offset in set mode.
CH
The split lock function is convenient for changing only
the transmit frequency. When the split function is not
used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotating the
tuning dial, changes the receive frequency. The split
lock function is ON by default, but can be turned OFF
in set mode.
While split frequency operation is ON, push [LOCK]
to activate the split lock function.
While pushing [XFC], rotate the tuning dial to
change the transmit frequency.
• If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating the tun-
ing dial the receive frequency does NOT change.
