ICOM 259000 Manuale Utente

12-14

■ Miscellaneous (Others) set mode 

Sets the offset (difference between transmit and re-
ceive frequencies) for the quick split function. How-
ever, this setting is used for HF bands in FM mode
only and is used to input the repeater offset for an HF
band.

The offset frequency can be set from –9.999 MHz to
+9.999 MHz in 1 kHz steps. (default: –0.100 MHz)

Sets the offset (difference between transmit and re-
ceive frequencies) for the quick split function. How-
ever, this setting is used for 50 MHz band FM mode
only, and is used to input the repeater offset for the
50 MHz band.

The offset frequency can be set from –9.999 MHz to
+9.999 MHz in 1 kHz steps. (default: –0.500 MHz)

When this item is ON, the main dial can be used to
adjust the transmit frequency while pushing [XFC]
even while the lock function is activated. 
(default: OFF)

See pgs. 6-6, 6-7 for split frequency operation details.

The internal antenna tuner has an automatic start ca-
pability which starts tuning if the SWR is higher than
1.5–3:1.

• OFF : The tuner remains OFF even when the SWR

is poor (1.5–3:1). (default)

• ON : Automatic tune starts even when the tuner is

turned OFF during HF bands operation. 

Tuning of the internal antenna tuner can be started
automatically at the moment the PTT is pushed after
the operating frequency is changed (more than 1%
from last-tuned frequency). (default: OFF)

When this item is set to ON, pushing [SPLIT] for 1
sec. sets the sub readout frequency to the main read-
out frequency and activates split operation.
(default: ON)

See p. 6-7 for details.
