1 Tuning Dial

Rotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps. Clockwise rotation of the
DIAL knob causes the FT-1907R to be tuned toward a higher frequency, while counter-clock-
wise rotation will lower the operating frequency.
Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob, to change the frequency
steps to 1 MHz per step. This feature is extremely useful for making rapid frequency excursions
over the wide tuning range of the FT-1907R. Instead of pressing the [ MHz ( SET )] button, you
may also press the [ A ] key on the Microphone's keypad to engage tuning in 1 MHz steps.

2 Direct Keypad Frequency Entry

The keypad of the MH-48
ating frequency.
To enter a frequency from the MH-48
sequence. There is no "decimal point" key on the MH-48
short-cut for frequencies ending in zero: press the [ # ] key after the last non-zero digit.
Examples: To enter 433.525 MHz, press [ 4 ]
To enter 433.000 MHz, press [ 4 ]
If you cannot get the radio to accept the frequency entry, it is possible that the
channel steps are set to an incompatible value (e.g. if you have 25 kHz steps set,
you cannot set a frequency of 433.520 MHz). See page 18 to learn how to change the
channel step size.

3 Scanning

From the VFO mode, press the microphone's [ UP ] / [ DWN ] keys momentarily to initiate
scanning toward a higher- or lower frequency, respectively. The FT-1907R will stop when
it receives a signal strong enough to break through the squelch threshold. The FT-1907R
will then hold on that frequency according to the setting of the "Resume" mode (Menu "41
SCAN)"; see page 43).
If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a lower frequency, instead of a
higher frequency), just rotate the DIAL knob one click in the counter-clockwise direction
while the FT-1900R is scanning. The scanning direction will be reversed. To revert to
scanning toward a higher frequency once more, rotate the DIAL knob one click clockwise.
Press the [ UP ] / [ DWN ] keys again to cancel scanning. You may also press the PTT button
momentarily; scanning will stop, but you will not transmit until you release the PTT button,
and press it again.
