Keyboard Frequency Entry

You may enter operating frequencies, for either the VFO-
A or VFO-B bands, using the front panel band/frequency
selection keys.
Example 1: Enter 14.250.000 MHz into the VFO-A
1. Press the [ ENT ] button to engage the direct frequency
entry process. Now, be-
ginning with the "10
MHz" digit of the fre-
quency (the leftmost
digit), we will enter the
required digits of the fre-
quency.
2. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the [ BAND ] buttons (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 1.8/1 ] Æ [ 10/4 ] Æ [ GEN/. ] Æ [ 3.5/2 ] Æ
[ 14/5 ] Æ [ 50/0 ] Æ [ 50/0 ] Æ [ 50/0 ] Æ [ 50/0 ]
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 ] button 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 VFO-B
1. Press the [ B ] button, lo-
cated to the upper left of
the Main Tuning Dial
knob. The imbedded
LED in the [ B ] button is
glows orange.
2. Press the [ ENT ] button 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
VFO-B register.
3. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the [ BAND ] buttons (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[ 21/7 ] Æ [ GEN/. ] Æ [ 1.8/1 ] Æ
[ 50/0 ] Æ [ 50/0 ] Æ [ 50/0 ] Æ [ 50/0 ] Æ [ 50/0 ]
4. Press the [ ENT ] button once more. A short "beep" will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the VFO-
B frequency display fields.

If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the operat-
ing range of 30 kHz ~ 60 MHz, the microprocessor
will ignore the attempt, and you will be returned to
your previous operating frequency. If this happens,
please try again, taking care not to repeat the error in
the frequency entry process.

Using the [ T ( DOWN )] / [ S ( UP )] Buttons
ˆ Press the [ T ( DOWN )] / [ S ( UP )] button to tune the
VFO-A frequency in 1 MHz
step.
ˆ Press the [ B ] button first (The imbedded LED in the
[ B ] button is glows orange), then press the
[ T ( DOWN )] / [ S ( UP )] button to tune the VFO-B fre-
quency in 1 MHz step.

You may change the tuning step of the [ T ( DOWN )] /
[ S ( UP )] button to 100 kHz via the Menu item "140 TUN
MHz SEL". See page 127.
Using the [ UP ] / [ DWN ] Switches of the
Supplied MH-31
The [ UP ] / [ DWN ] switches on the supplied MH-31
Microphone may also be used for manually scanning up-
ward or downward in frequency, respectively.
The microphone's [ UP ] / [ DWN ]
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 ]
button.

In the AM and FM modes, you may in-
dependently set the tuning steps when
using the [ UP ] / [ DWN ] switches. To set
new tuning steps, use Menu items "141
TUN AM STEP" and "142 TUN FM STEP".
