DDifferences between VFO and memory mode
VFO MODE
Each VFO shows a frequency and operating mode. If
the frequency or operating mode is changed, the VFO
automatically memorizes the new frequency or oper-
ating mode.
When VFO settings are changed with frequency and
mode from another VFO or memory mode, the last-
used frequency and operating mode for that VFO ap-
pear.
[EXAMPLE]
MEMORYMODE(pgs. 102–110)
Each memory channel shows a frequency and oper-
ating mode like a VFO. Even if the frequency or mode
is changed, the memory channel does not memorize
the new frequency or operating mode.
When a memory channel is changed with frquency
and mode from another memory channel or VFO
mode, the memorized frequency and operating mode
appear.

BASIC OPERATION

VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscilla-
tor, and traditionally refers to an oscillator.
The IC-7000 VFO is somewhat different. The VFO dis-
play of the IC-7000 acts like a computer’s window and
can show one frequency and one operating mode.
You can call up a desired frequency to the VFO with
the memo pad-read key (p. 112) or the memory trans-
fer function (p. 109). You can also change the fre-
quency with [DIAL] and select an operating mode with
[MODE] key or call up previously accessed frequency
and modes with the band stacking register (p. 28).
The IC-7000 has two VFOs, specially suited for split
frequency operation. The VFOs are called VFO A and
VFO B. You can use the desired VFO to call up a fre-
quency and operating mode for operation.
Changed frequency (14.123 MHz) does not appear and
memorized frequency (14.100 MHz) appears instead.
Memory channel 1 is
selected.
The frequency is changed.
Memory channel 1 is
selected again.
Another memory channel
is selected.
VFO is selected.
The frequency is changed.
VFO is selected again.
Changed frequency (14.123 MHz) appears.
Memory mode is selected.
