11.1.1 HF Amateur Radio Bands

To select or change a frequency different means are available:

Select with band buttons (see below).

Numerical input (see Page 32).

Recall from a memory channel (see Page 34).
Pushing a band pushbutton selects one of two stored
frequencies within the desired band (see Table 13 and 14).
The MF and each HF amateur radio band (excl. 60 m) is
allocated to a pushbutton in the cluster BAND.
The VHF amateur radio bands and the RX-only range from
110 MHz are accessible by the 0 VHF button in the cluster
MODE and additional select in the VHF softkey menu.
Each band button stores two frequencies exclusively for this band. Pressing the
button again will toggle between the last two frequencies used within this
band.
The last used frequency within a band is stored automatically, so the stored
frequency will change continuously when tuning within the band with VFO
knob or STEP-VFO knob.
In case the BAND limits are exceeded trough tuning the last valid frequency
that has been stored will remain. Press button again for return the PT-8000A
to the last used frequency.
The two stored frequencies of a band are correlated to each VFO. Selecting
the alternate VFO will give access to another two frequencies in that band
(which were used with this VFO). Of course this is applicable for both MAIN-
and SUB-RX.
Mode, filter adjustments (width/shift), antenna and tuning increments (STEP
VFO) are stored along with the respective frequency.
A numerical input of a frequency (see Page 32) within the selected band will
overwrite one of the two stored frequencies (the last frequency used).
Pressing e.g. 14 5 button (located in the cluster BAND) selects the last used
frequency within the 20 m band of the selected VFO.
The VFO menu (see Page 41) will be displayed.
Pressing band key again will toggle between the last two frequencies used
within this band.
Two more frequencies are allocated to the „stand-by"-VFO.
