SUB VFO-B Tuning Knob
This knob adjusts the Sub VFO-B operating fre-
quency. The available tuning increments are the same
as described for the main tuning knob, although each
tuning knob’s increments may be set independently
(see page 38).
[LOCK] Button
This button toggles locking of SUB VFO-B tuning
to prevent accidental frequency changes. The red in-
dicator in the display glows when this command is ac-
tive (the tuning knob can still be turned, but it does
nothing). Press the [LOCK] button again to re-enable
the tuning knob.
BAND (Keypad)
The keypad provides one-touch band selection, or
direct frequency entry. Normally, pressing one of the
ten white numbered keys selects the corresponding
(MHz) amateur band for operation (pressing the SUB
button first, followed by a [BAND] key, selects that band
for the Sub VFO). If you press the white numbered key
for the band you are already on, you will select the
alternate subband VFO on that band. See the “Opera-
tion” chapter for details.
If the [ENT] key is pressed first, the yellow labels
on the keys become effective, for manually entering
any frequency one digit at a time; press [SUB(CE)]
then [ENT] to enter Sub-VFO frequencies directly.
SUB SQL Knob
This separate control sets the signal level thresh-
old at which SUB VFO-B receiver audio is muted (and
the green “SUB BUSY” display indicator turns off), in
all modes. This control is normally kept fully CCW,
except when scanning and during FM operation.
CW and Electronic Keyer Controls
[SPOT] button turns the CW receiver spotting het-
erodyne oscillator on and off.
[BK-IN] button turns full break-in (QSK) CW op-
eration on and off.
[KEYER] button toggles the internal CW keyer on/
off, as indicated by the LED above this button.
[SPEED] knob adjusts the keying speed of the
keyer.
PITCH Knob
Rotate this control to select your desired CW tone
pitch (from 300~1050 Hz, in 50 Hz increments), as
shown in the display. The Tx sidetone, receiver IF pass-
band, and display offset from the BFO (carrier) fre-
quency are all affected simultaneously.
[CLAR] Buttons
Pressing the [RX] button activates the CLAR knob,
to allow offsetting the receiving frequency temporarily
(see item
below). The [TX] button provides the same
function for the transmit frequency. If both buttons are
pressed, the receiver and transmitter are both offset
from the original frequency. Pressing the [CLEAR] but-
ton zeroes any offset tuned by the CLAR knob. Each
memory and VFO retains all Clarifier settings indepen-
dently.
SHIFT Knob
This knob offsets the center frequency of the IF
passband when rotated from its “normal” (center) po-
sition. This control functions in all modes except FM.
When the IDBT System is activated by pressing
the [IDBT] button on the Shuttle Jog, the EDSP
(Bandpass) filter’s passband offset changes accord-
ing to this knob’s setting.
IDBT Indicator
This red indicator lights up when the IDBT System
is activated by pressing the [IDBT] button on the Shuttle
Jog. When this indicator is illuminated, the EDSP
(Bandpass) filter’s bandwidth and center frequency
change according to the SHIFT and WIDTH knob set-
tings.
WIDTH Knob
This knob, when turned from center, reduces the
overall IF bandwidth from either the lower or upper side,
from the maximum selected by the [BANDWIDTH] but-
tons.
When the IDBT feature is activated by pressing
the [IDBT] button on the Shuttle Jog, the EDSP
(Bandpass) filter’s passband width is reduced accord-
ing to this knob’s setting.
CLAR Knob
This knob tunes the Clarifier offset frequency up to
9.99 kHz when activated by the CLAR [RX] [TX] but-
tons just below it (a 3-digit display appears in the cen-
ter of the display (if enabled) when the Clarifier is ac-
tive).
NOTCH Knob
This knob adjusts the IF notch frequency when this
feature is activated by the [NOTCH] button located
above this knob. When activated, the LED inside the
[NOTCH] button glows red.
Note that the setting of menu selection 2-9 may dis-
able the action of this knob (if menu selection 2-9 is set
to
Auto DSP). With this selection, the EDSP Automatic
Notch will be activated, and the IF Notch will be dis-
abled.
