Keyboard Frequency Entry (# )
You may enter operating frequencies, for
either the Main (VFO-A) or Sub (VFO-
B) bands, using the front panel band/fre-
quency selection keys.
Example 1:
Enter 14.250.00 MHz into the Main (VFO-A) band:
1. Press the [ENT] key to engage the direct frequency
entry process. Now, beginning with the “10 MHz” digit
of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we will enter the
required digits of the frequency.
2. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the BAND keys (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[1.8/1]«[7/4]«[50/.]«[3.5/2]«[10/5]
[28/0]«[28/0]«[28/0]«[28/0]
The decimal point after the “MHz” portion of the fre-
quency must be entered, but no decimal point is re-
quired after the “kHz” portion.
3. Press the [ENT] key once more. A short “beep” will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the Main
(VFO-A) frequency display fields.
Example 2:
Enter 7.100.000 MHz into the Sub (VFO-B) band:
1. Press the [V/B] key.
2. Press the [ENT] key to engage the direct frequency
entry process. Now, beginning with the “10 MHz” digit
of the frequency (the leftmost digit), we will enter the
required digits of the frequency to be entered into the
Sub (VFO-B) band register.
3. Press, in order, the digits of the operating frequency,
using the BAND keys (which have the frequency-
entry digit or decimal point on the right side of the
slash bar). In this example, enter
[18/7]«[50/.]«[1.8/1]«[28/0]
[28/0]«[28/0]«[28/0]«[28/0]
4. Press the [ENT] key once more. A short “beep” will
confirm that the frequency entry was successful, and
the new operating frequency will appear on the Main
(VFO-A) frequency display fields.
Advice
H In the above examples, you will notice that the trail-
ing “zero” digits of the frequency were not entered. It
is not necessary to enter these trailing zeroes; just press
the [ENT] to terminate frequency entry, and they will
be entered automatically.
H If you attempt to enter a frequency outside the operat-
ing range of 30 kHz ~ 60 MHz, the microprocessor
will ignore the attempt, and you will be returned to
your previous operating frequency. If this happens,
please try again, taking care not to repeat the error in
the frequency entry process.
Ë Using the CLAR/VFO-B knob (# ), you may
change the Main (VFO-A) band frequency in 1 MHz
steps. If you first press
and hold in the BAND/
MHz key for two sec-
onds, the 1 MHz steps
will be applied to the
Sub (VFO-B) band in-
stead. The imbedded
LED in the BAND/
MHz key will glow Red in the latter case.
When tuning in 1 MHz steps, clockwise rotation of
the CLAR/VFO-B know will increase the frequency,
while counter-clockwise rotation will decrease the fre-
quency.
Ë Using the UP/DOWN switches of the optional
MD-200A8X Base Station Microphone
The UP/DOWN switches on the
optional MD-200A8X Base Station
Microphone may also be used for
manually scanning upward or
downward in frequency, respec-
tively.
The microphone’s UP/DOWN
switches utilize the tuning steps of
the Main Tuning Dial (# ) ;
moreover, when the microphone’s
[FAST] key is pressed, the tuning rate increases by a fac-
tor of ten, in a manner similar to the effect of the
transceiver’s front-panel [FAST] key.

Advice
In the Am and FM modes, you may independently set the
tuning steps when using the UP/DOWN switches. To set
new tuning steps, use Menu items “TUNING 132 AM CH
STEP” and “TUNING 133 FM CH STEP.”
