FUNCTION FOR TRANSMIT

DQuick split function

In

M1, when you push [

(F-1)

SPL] for 1 sec., split fre-

quency operation is turned ON and VFO B is auto-
matically changed according to the plus/minus
pre-programmed shift frequency set in initial set mode
(or equalized when 0 kHz is programmed as the split
shift frequency). This shortens the time needed to
start split frequency operation—great for DX’ing.

The quick split function is ON by default. If desired, it
can be turned OFF in initial set mode (p. 79). In this
case, pushing [

(F-1)

SPL] for 1 sec. has the same ef-

fect as pushing [

(F-1)

SPL] momentarily as in normal

split operation.

qPush [POWER] to turn power OFF.

wWhile pushing [LOCK], push [POWER] to turn

power ON and enter initial set mode.

eSelect “26 SPL OFFSET” using [MENU], [M-

CH] or the [

Y]/[Z] keys, then rotate the main dial

to select the desired split offset.

• The split offset can be selected from –9.999 MHz to

+9.999 MHz.

■Meter selection

The bar meter in the function display acts as an
S-meter for relative signal strength during receiving
and can be selected for one of three types during
transmitting.

qSelect M3.

• Push [DISPLAY] once or twice to select 

M.

• Push [MENU] one or more times to select 

M3.

wPush [

(F-3)

MET] one or more times to select the

desired meter function.

• The display indication changes as in the table at right.

[F-3]

Indicates the relative RF output power.

Indicates the ALC level. When the
meter movement shows the input signal
level exceeds the allowable level, the
ALC limits the RF power. In such cases,
reduce the microphone gain (see
above).

Indicates the SWR over the transmis-
sion line.
