BAND STACK OPERATION

The FTDX1200 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO selection technique, that permits you to store up to three favorite frequencies and modes onto each band's VFO register. For example, you may store one frequency each on 14 MHz CW, RTTY, and USB, then recall these VFOs by successive, momentary presses of the [14] MHz band button. Each Amateur band key may similarly have up to three frequency/mode settings applied. Note that only the VFO-A system has the band stacks.

A typical setup, for the 14 MHZ band, might be arranged like this:

  1. Program 14.025, CW Mode, then press the [14] Mhz band button;
  2. Program 14.080, RTTY Mode, then press the [14] Mhz band button;
  3. Program 14.195, SSB Mode, then press the [14] Mhz band button.

With this configuration, successive momentary presses of the [14] MHz band button will allow you to step sequencially through these three VFOs.
