negative signal and chassis ground as
shown in Figure 2-3.
(8) TUNE
The TUNE button, when pressed, will
transmit a CW carrier at approximately 20
watts output power to allow either the
internal automatic antenna tuner to tune (if
installed) or for user adjustment of an
external antenna tuner or linear amplifier.
It may be desirable to have keydown CW
carrier output at the power output level set
by using the PWR control (button 9). To do
so, press the PWR button immediately after
pushing the TUNE button. Power output will
move from the low power setting to
whatever level the PWR control has been
set at with the MULTI knob. Repeat
operation will require pushing TUNE then
PWR again for the higher output value.
(9) PWR
This button is used for setting RF power
output on OMNI-VII. Press the PWR button
and turn the MULTI knob to adjust value
from 5 to 100.
The PWR button also interacts with the
TUNE button (8) for key down power output
for tuning an antenna tuner or linear
amplifier. See the description of TUNE
immediately preceding this section.
(10) V>M and (11) M>V
The V>M and M>V buttons are used to store
and retrieve frequencies into and out of the
memory system.
To store a frequency from VFO A to a
memory location, press V>M. At the top of
the screen SAVE TO MEMORY and a memory
number will appear. Turn the MULTI knob
to scroll through the available memory
locations. There are 100 available
memories. When your desired memory
number has been selected, press V>M
again to save.
Memories will save both VFO frequencies,
mode, DSP BW setting, whether split is
turned on, whether preamp is on or off, and
FM CTCSS tone in use.

If you want to exit the memory save function
above WITHOUT saving the memory to a
location, instead of pressing V>M the
second time to save the memory, press
M>V while the screen still reads SAVE TO
MEMORY at the top to exit.
To recall memories, press M>V. After
pressing M>V, RECALL MEMORY and a
memory location number will appear at the
top of the screen. Turn the MULTI knob to
scroll through the memories. To select a
memory to be imported to the VFO, press
M>V again.
If you want to exit the memory recall function
above WITHOUT recalling a memory
location to VFO A, instead of pressing M>V
the second time to recall the memory, press
V>M while the screen still reads SAVE TO
MEMORY at the top to exit.
Note that the M>V function for memory
information recall is also dependent on what
the function RECALL SUB in the menu is set
to. Pushing M>V by default only recalls the
VFO A frequency, mode, preamp, and DSP
BW filter in use. To recall all information
stored (both VFO's, mode, DSP BW filter,
split, FM CTCSS tone), RECALL SUB must
be set to ON. See RECALL SUB in Section
4.
(12) MODE
Mode selection for VFO A on the transceiver
is done by pushing MODE. At the top of the
screen below the row of 7 buttons the
available modes will appear: USB, LSB,
UCW, LCW, AM, FM, FSK. Use the top row
of buttons above the main screen to select
the desired mode. After making selection,
the selected mode for VFO A is shown on
the screen directly below the MODE button.
If the MODE button is pushed and you do
not want to change modes, wait 5 seconds.
The mode indicators at the top of the screen
will disappear and the OMNI-VII will return to
usual operation.
VFO B can be on a separate mode from
VFO A. Modes can be transferred from
VFO A to VFO B by using the A=B or A/B
buttons to exchange VFO information. See
(18) A=B, A>B, SPL, REV.
