In addition to turning the Tuning control or pressing
Mic [UP]/ [DWN], there are several other ways
to select your frequency. This section describes
additional methods of frequency selection that may
save you time and effort.
Q 'LUHFW)UHTXHQF\(QWU\
When the desired frequency is far removed from
the current frequency, directly entering a frequency
from the numeric keypad is usually the fastest
method.
1 Press [ENT].
“ - - . - - - . - - ” appears.
2 Press the numeric keys ([50 (0)] to [28 (9)]) to
enter your desired frequency.
Pressing
[ENT] at any time fills the
remaining digits (the digits you did not enter)
with 0 and completes the entry.
To select 1.85 MHz for example, press
[ENT], [50 (0)], [1.8 (1)], [24 (8)], [14 (5)],
then press [ENT] to complete the input (6
key strokes).
Pressing
[CLR] before pressing [ENT]
cancels the entry and restores the current
VFO frequency.
Note:
X You can enter a frequency in the range of 30.00 kHz
to 59.999.99 MHz. Refer to the specifications for the
available frequency range.
X Attempting to enter a frequency that is outside the
selectable frequency range causes an alarm to sound
and the entered frequency is rejected.
X When the entered frequency does not meet the current
VFO frequency step size requirement, the nearest
available frequency is automatically selected after the
entered frequency is changed.
X When the 10 Hz digit (last displayed digit) is entered,
the digit 0 is automatically entered for the 1 Hz digit,
and frequency entry is completed. The 1 Hz digit is not
displayed.
X When an entered frequency is accepted, RIT or XIT will
be switched OFF, but the RIT or XIT offset frequency is
not cleared.
Q )UHTXHQF\(QWU\+LVWRU\
The last 10 frequencies you entered are stored in
the Frequency Entry History. You can access the
history to easily re-enter a recently used frequency.
1 Press [ENT].
2 Turn the MULTI/CH control.
The entered frequency along with its log
number appears. The most recent entered
frequency is logged as number E0 and the
oldest frequency is logged as number E9.
3 Press [ENT] to set the selected frequency to
the VFO.
Note: When entering a frequency using the numeric
keys, if you turn the MULTI/CH control in the middle of the
frequency entry, the frequency will be entered into the log.
Q 8VLQJWKH0+]NH\
You can use the MULTI/CH control to change the
operating frequency in steps of 1 MHz.
1 Press [MHz].
•“
” appears.
2 Turn the MULTI/CH control.
Clockwise increases the frequency and
counter-clockwise decreases the frequency.
3 Press [MHz] again to exit.
•“
” disappears.
If you prefer to change the frequency in steps of
100 kHz or 500 kHz, rather than 1 MHz, access
Menu No. 10 and select 100 kHz, 500 kHz, or
1 MHz.
Note: Even if 100 kHz or 500 kHz is assigned for the [MHz]
key, “ ” appears on the display.
Q 4XLFN46<
To move up or down the frequency quickly, use the
MULTI/CH control. Turning this control changes
the operating frequency in steps of 5 kHz for SSB/
CW/ FSK/ AM and steps of 10 kHz for FM.
If you want to change the default frequency
step size, access Menu No. 14 (SSB/CW/FSK),
15 (AM), or 16 (FM). Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.
SEL)] to select 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 5 kHz,
or 10 kHz for SSB/ CW/ FSK, and 5 kHz, 6.25
kHz, 10 kHz, 12.5 kHz, 15 kHz, 20 kHz, 25 kHz,
30 kHz, 50 kHz, or 100 kHz for AM/ FM. The
default frequency step size is 5 kHz for SSB/
CW/ FSK/ AM and 10 kHz for FM.
When changing the operating frequency by
using the MULTI/CH control, frequencies
are rounded such that new frequencies are
multiples of the frequency step size. To disable
this function, access Menu No. 12 and select
“oFF” (default is ON).
Within the AM broadcast band, the step size
automatically defaults to the frequency step
value in Menu No. 13. This frequency step size
can be switched between 9 kHz (“on”) and
5 kHz (“oFF”) via Menu No. 13.
Note: The programmed frequency step size for the
MULTI/CH control is stored independently for the HF and
50 MHz bands. You can also set a different frequency step
size for SSB/ CW/ FSK, AM and FM modes.
