RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT

Quick split function

When you find a DX station, an important consider-
ation is how to set the split frequency.
When you push and hold the [SPLIT] switch for 1
sec., the split frequency operation is turned ON, and
the sub readout frequency and operating mode is
equalized to the main readout, then enters standby
for transmit frequency input.
This shortens the time needed to begin split fre-
quency operation.
The quick split function is ON by default. For your
convenience, it can be turned OFF in others set
mode. (p. 129) In this case, the [SPLIT] switch does
not equalize the main and sub readout frequencies.
q Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB)
in VFO mode.
w Push and hold [SPLIT] for 1 sec.
• Split frequency operation is turned ON.
• [SPLIT] indicator lights.
• The sub readout frequency and operating mode is
equalized to the main readout.
• The sub readout enters standby for transmit frequency
input and "
• During FM mode operation, the sub readout frequency
shifts from the main readout frequency according to the
others set mode setting. (p. 129)
• The tone encoder function is turned ON in FM mode.
e Rotate the main dial to set the transmit frequency;
or, input the transmit frequency using the keypad
and [F-INP ENT]; or, input a shift frequency using
the keypad and [SPLIT].
• " " disappears when [F-INP ENT] is pushed.
• Offset frequency setting with the keypad and [SPLIT].
[Example]
To transmit on 1 kHz higher frequency:
- Push [1.8 1] then [SPLIT].
To transmit on 3 kHz lower frequency:
- Push [GENE •], [7 3] then [SPLIT].

D Split lock function

The split lock function is convenient for changing only
the transmit frequency. When the split lock function
is not used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotat-
ing the main dial, changes the receive frequency. The
split lock function is OFF by default, but can be turned
ON in others set mode. (p. 129)
q While split frequency operation is ON, push and
hold [SPEECH/LOCK] for 1 sec. to activate the
split lock function.
• [LOCK] indicator lights.
w While pushing and holding [XFC], rotate the main
dial to change the transmit frequency.
• If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating the
main dial, the receive frequency does NOT change.
