Split Operation - Vertex Standard VXA-710 Spirit Operating Manual

Split Operation

The split operation feature allows you to transmit a call to
a Flight Service Station using the COM band frequencies,
while receiving a VOR station (in the NAV band). VOR
stations equipped with this capability typically are shown,
on navigation charts, with the voice calling frequency in
parenthesis above the navigation frequency.
Press the key, repeatedly if necessary, to select
the VFO mode.
Set the desired VOR station's frequencies in the NAV
band (108.000 - 117.975 MHz) using the DIAL selec-
tor knob or keypad.
Press the key followed by the
icon will blink, and the transmit frequency will ap-
pear on the display.
Now set your radio's transmit frequency, where the
Flight Service Station will be listening for calls, using
the DIAL selector knob or keypad.
