direct Frequency entry
In addition to rotating the
Selector
(or pressing
[UP]
/
[DOWN]
),
there is another way to select the frequency. When the desired
frequency is far away from the current frequency, you can directly
enter a frequency using the numeric keypad.
1
Press
[VFO]
.
You must be in the VFO Mode to make the direct frequency
entry.
2
Press
[#]
.
3
Press the numeric keys (
[0]
to
[9]
) to enter your desired
frequency.
[ ]
allows you to complete the MHz digits entry.
Pressing
[#]
fills all remaining digits (the digits you did not
enter) with 0 and completes the entry. For example, to
select 145.000 MHz, press
[1]
,
[4]
, and
[5]
, then press
[#]
to
complete the entry.
If you want to revise the MHz digits only, leaving the kHz
digits as they are, press
[VFO]
in place of
[#]
.
Note:
If the entered frequency does not match the current frequency
step size, the frequency is automatically rounded down to the next
available frequency.
When the desired frequency cannot be entered exactly, confirm the
frequency step size {page 58}.
If you rotate the
Selector
(or press
[UP]
/
[DOWN]
) while entering
the frequency, the transceiver clears the entry.
