onvenience
The FT 1200 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO selection technique, that permits you to store up to three favorite fre-
DX
quencies and modes onto each band's VFO register. For example, you may store one frequency each on 14 MHz CW,
RTTY, and USB, then recall these VFOs by successive, momentary presses of the [ 14 ] MHz band button. Each Amateur
band key may similarly have up to three frequency/mode settings applied. Note that only the VFO-A system has the
band stacks.
A typical setup, for the 14 MHz band, might be arranged like this:
1. Program 14.025 MHz, CW Mode, then press the [ 14 ]
MHz band button;
2. Program 14.080 MHz, RTTY Mode, then press the
[ 14 ] MHz band button;
3. Program 14.195 MHz, SSB Mode, then press the [ 14 ]
MHz band button.
With this configuration, successive momentary presses
of the [ 14 ] MHz band button will allow you to step se-
quentially through these three VFOs.
The front panel [ C.S ] button may be programmed to directly access an often-used Menu Mode selection.
