Changing The Frequency Step Size; Programmable Function Keys; Transceiver Front Panel; Microphone Keys - Kenwood TM-D710E Instruction Manual

CHANGING THE FREQUENCY STEP SIZE

Choosing the correct frequency step size is essential in
selecting your exact frequency. The default step size on
the 144 MHz band is 5 kHz (K type) or 12.5 kHz (E, M4
types). The default on the 430/440 MHz band is 25 kHz
(K, E types) or 10 kHz (M4 type) .
1 Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band A or
B, then press [VFO].
2 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 101.
3 Set the step size to 5.0*, 6.25*, or 8.33 kHz (118 MHz
band only) or to 10.0, 12.5, 15.0*, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0,
50.0, or 100.0 kHz.
* These step sizes are not available for the 1200 MHz band.
Note: Changing between step sizes may correct the displayed
frequency. For example, if
144.995 MHz is displayed with a 5 kHz step size selected, changing
to a 12.5 kHz step size corrects the displayed frequency to 144.9875
MHz.

way to change the frequency. One of the microphone PF
keys must first be programmed as [ENTER],
1 Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band A or
B, then press [VFO] or [CALL].
2 Press the key programmed as [ENTER].
• The Direct Frequency Entry display appears.
3 Press the microphone keys ([0] ~ [9]) to enter your
desired frequency.
4 To set the entered frequency, press [ENTER] or
[VFO].
• Pressing [ENTER] before entering all of the digits will set
the remaining digits to 0.
• Pressing [VFO] before entering all of the digits will leave
the remaining digits at their previous values.
• Entering all digits for a frequency will automatically set the
frequency without pressing [ENTER] or [VFO].
• If you need to only change the MHz digit, press the
Tuning control, then enter the new value.
