Split operation capability is very advanced and easy to use.
[SPLIT] Switch
1. Set the Main (VFO-A) frequency as desired.
2. Set the Sub (VFO-B) frequency.
3. Now press the [ SPLIT ] switch. The "Split" mode will
be engaged, and the front panel switch/LEDs will look
like this:
MAIN(VFO-A)
[ RX ] switch "ON" (LED glows Green)
[ TX ] switch "OFF" (LED Off)
SUB(VFO-B)
[ RX ] switch "OFF" (LED Off)
[ TX ] switch "ON"(LED glows Red)
During Split operation, the Main (VFO-A) register will be
used for reception, while the Sub (VFO-B) register will be
used for transmission. If you press the [ SPLIT ] sswitch
once more, Split operation will be cancelled.
You may also press the Main (VFO-A) Band's [ TX ] switch
located above and to the left of the [ Main Tuning Dial ]
knob to return transmit frequency control to the Main
(VFO-A) side, and thereby cancel Split operation.

During normal (non-split) VFO-A operation, you
may simply press the Sub (VFO-B) band's [ TX ]
switch (located above and to the right of the
[ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob) to engage Split operation.
The [ TX ] indicator will glow Red when you press
the switch.
During Split operation, pressing the [ A
switch will reverse the contaents of the Main and
Sub VFOs. Press the [ A
to return to the original frequency alignment.
During Split operation, if you press the [ RX ]
switch above and to the right of the [ CLAR/VFO-
B ] knob, you will engage Dual Receive opera-
tion, and now can listen to both sides of the DX
pile-up, while transmitting on the Sub (VFO-B)
frequency. This is very useful for maintaining the
timing of your calls, while also monitoring both
sides of the pile-up.
During Split operation, you may also press the
[ TXW ] switch (below and to the left of the Main
Tuning Dial) to listen to the TX frequency tem-
porarily.
It is possible to set different operating modes (for
example, LSB and USB) on the two VFOs used
during Split operation.
During Split operation, it also is possible to set
the Main and Sub VFOs to different Amateur
bands, and it also is possible to engage Crossband
Full Duplex operation for multiplier hunting while
calling CQ on the "TX" band. See page 107 for a
discussion of full duplex operation.
