BASIC OPERATION

N VFO description

VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscilla-
tor, and traditionally refers to an oscillator.

The IC-7200 VFO can store a frequency and an oper-
ating mode.

You can call up a desired frequency to the VFO with 
the keypad or the memory copy function (see p. 63). 
You can also change the frequency with [DIAL] and 
select an operating mode with 

 or call up previ-

ously accessed frequency and modes with the band 
stacking register (p. 24).

The IC-7200 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 fre-
quency and operating mode for operation.
