MORE FREQUENCY NAVIGATION TECHNIQUES

Keyboard Frequency Entry

The Operating frequency may be entered directly into the current VFO, using the front panel [BAND] key buttons

Example: Enter 14.250.00 MHZ

  1. Press the [ENT] button to begin the direct frequency entry process. Now, beginning with the first digit of the frequency (the left most digit), we will enter the required digits of the frequency.
  2. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency, using the [BAND] buttons (the frequency entry digit or decimal point is printed on the right side of the buttons). In this example, enter [1.8(1)] -> [10(4)] -> [GEN(.)] -> [3.5(2)] -> [14(5)] -> [50(0)] -> [50(0)] -> [50(0)] -> [50(0)]
    The decimal point after the "MHz" portion of the frequency must be entered, but no decimal point is required after the kHz portion.
  3. Press the [ENT] button once more to complete the operating frequency entry. A short "beep" will confirm that the entry was successful, and the new operating frequency will appear on the display.

ADVICE:
If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the operating 30 kHz ~ 56 MHz, the microprocessor will ignore the attempt, and you will be returned to the previous operating frequency. If this happens, please try again, taking care not to repeat the error in the frequency entry process.

Using the [VFO-B/CLAR] knob

Your may change the VFO-A frequency in 1 MHz steps. Press the [MHz/uT] button located at the bottom left of the [VFO-B/CLAR] knob. The 1 MHz steps will be applied to the VFO frequency. The "MHz 1 MHz" notation will appear in the display.

When tuning in 1 MHz steps, clockwise rotation of the [VFO-B/CLAR] knob will increase the frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will decrease the frequency.

Using the [UP/DWN] buttons of the supplied MH-31BB hand microphoe

The [UP]/[DWN] buttons on the supplied MH-31BB Hand Microphone may alos be used to manually scan the frequency upward or downward.

The microphone's [UP]/[DWN] buttons utilize the tuning steps of the Mani Turning Dial knob.

When the microphone [FST] button is pressed, the tuning rate increases by a factor of ten, in a manner similar to the transceiver front panel [FST] button

ADVICE:
You may independently set the tuning steps of the [UP]/[DWN] buttons in the AM and FM modes. To set new tuning steps, use Menu items "156 AM CH STEP" and "157 FM CH STEP".
