VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency
Oscillator, and traditionally refers to an oscillator. The
IC-706MKIIG’s VFO can store a frequency and an
operating mode.
Oscillator, and traditionally refers to an oscillator. The
IC-706MKIIG’s VFO can store a frequency and an
operating mode.
You can call up a desired frequency to a VFO with the
memo pad-read switch (p. 42) or with the memory
transfer switch (p. 42). You can also change the fre-
quency with the main dial and select an operating
mode with the [MODE] switch or call up previously
accessed frequency and modes with the band stack-
ing register (p. 19).

The IC-706MKIIG 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
split frequency operation. The VFOs are called VFO A
and VFO B. You can use the desired VFO to call up a
frequency and operating mode for operation.

Each VFO shows a frequency and operating mode. If
the frequency or operating mode is changed, the
VFO automatically memorizes the new frequency or
operating mode.
