Using the VFO-B
The VFO-B works in a similar manner to the VFO-A, which you should be familiar by
now. However, the VFO-B frequency selects by the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob instead of the
Main Tuning Dial knob. The VFO-B provides simple split (transmit/receive) frequency
operation via the combination of the green [(VFO-A)RX] Indicator/Switch, red
[(VFO-A)TX] Indicator/Switch, green [(VFO-B)RX] Indicator/Switch, and red
[(VFO-B)TX] Indicator/Switch or [SPLIT] button. See page ?? for details for the
Split-Frequency Operation.
The frequency and mode data can be transferred from the VFO-A to the VFO-B by
pressing the [A>B] button, but don’t forget that this will overwrite any settings that
were in the VFO-B previously. Also, the contents of the two VFOs can be swapped (with
no loss of data) by pressing the [A>B] button.
Most interference-fighting circuitry which is described later can also be used on
VFO-B.
About the only things you can not do with the VFO-B (that you can with the VFO-A),
are store the contents directly into a memory and set the Clarifier. For these functions
you need to swap the VFO-B with the VFO-A by pressing the [A<>B] button, then store
the contents into the memory or set the Clarifier.

When operating on an Amateur Band, it is possible to use the [BAND] buttons to
engage the use of the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob for Amateur band selection. The “My Bands”
feature allows you to select several Amateur bands, and make
