Clarifier Operation
When the CLAR switch (# ) is pushed, this knob may be
used to program an offset of up to ± 9.99 kHz from the Main
(VFO-A) frequency. This offset is only applied, however, to
the receive or transmit frequency if the
FAST/RX key (# )
and/or BAND/MHz / TX key (# ), respectively, have been
pushed.
To apply the programmed frequency offset to the Receive
frequency, press the
FAST/RX key momentarily. To return
to the Main-VFO-A frequency, without the offset, press the
FAST/RX key once more.
To apply the programmed frequency offset to the Transmit
frequency, press the
BAND/MHz / TX key momentarily.
To return the transmitter to the Main-VFO-A frequency, with-
out the offset, press the
BAND/MHz / TX key once more.
To reset the Clarifier frequency to “0” offset, press the
B-
MODE/CLEAR
switch (# ).
BAND/MHz Up/Down Control
When the BAND/MHz key (# ) is pressed momentarily,
the Red LED imbedded in the switch will light up, and you
may then use this knob for selecting the desired Amateur band.
If you have engaged the “My Bands” feature via Menu #135,
this knob will select from among just the Amateur bands that
you have included in the “My Bands” list.
If you press and hold in the
BAND/MHz key for 2 sec-
onds, the imbedded LED will glow Orange, and this knob
may now be used for rapid tuning in 1 MHz frequency steps.
Memory Channel/Memory Group Control
Pressing the MCH/GRP key (# ) momentarily will en-
able the use of this knob for selection of the desired Memory
Channel.
Pressing and holding in the
MCH/GRP key for two sec-
onds will enable the use of this knob for selecting the desired
Memory Group.
Functions Associated with Sub (VFO-B) Operation
When the A/B switch (# ) is pressed, the Orange lamp to the right of the CLAR/VFO-B knob (# ) will light up, and this
knob will now be exercising control functions associated with the Sub (VFO-B) frequency control register. If the Orange lamp is
not illuminated, please press the
A/B switch. Rotation of the knob will now control the Sub (VFO-B) frequency.
Sub (VFO-B) FAST Tuning
When the FAST/RX switch (# ) is pressed, the imbed-
ded LED will light up, and tuning of the Sub (VFO-B) fre-

now be used for selection of the desired Amateur band. Press-
ing the
BAND/MHz / TX switch once again will cancel
Up/Down Band selection, and the LED will turn off.
If you press and hold in the
BAND/MHz / TX switch for 2
seconds, the imbedded LED will light up, and this knob may
now be used for Up/Down tuning of the Sub (VFO-B)
frequency in 1 MHz steps. Press the
BAND/MHz / TX
switch momentarily to cancel Up/Down tuning; the imbed-
ded LED will turn off.
Sub (VFO-B) Mode Selection
When the B.MODE/CLEAR switch (# ) is pressed, the
imbedded LED will light up, and this knob may now be used
for selection of the operating mode for Sub (VFO-B) band
operation. Pressing the

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
A/B Switch
The A/B switch controls the determines whether
the actions of the CLAR/VFO-B knob (# , de-
scribed previously) will be applied to the Main (VFO-
A) band (“CLAR” option), or the Sub (VFO-B) band
(“VFO-B option”).
Pressing this switch once causes the Orange lamp to
the right of the CLAR/VFO-B knob to light up; in
this case, rotation of the CLAR/VFO-B knob af-
fects operation on the Sub (VFO-B) band (tuning, etc.).
Pressing the A/B switch once more causes the Or-
ange lamp to turn off; in this instance, rotation of the
CLAR/VFO-B knob affects operations associated
with the Main (VFO-B) band (Clarifier function, etc.).

Functions Associated with Main (VFO-A) Control
In the case of Main (VFO-A) control, this knob is used for Clarifier tuning, as well as Up/Down selection of the Amateur band,
Memory Channels, 1 MHz tuning steps, or Memory Groups. For Main (VFO-A) control, be sure that the Orange lamp beside this
control is not illuminated. If the Orange lamp is turned on, press the
A/B switch (# ) to turn it off.
