9FREQUENCY AND CHANNEL SETTING3■ VFO and memory channelsThe IC-P7A has two primary operating modes: VFO modeand memory mode.VFO mode is used for setting the desired frequency withinthe frequency coverage.➥ Push [V/M] (SKIP •S.MW) to select VFO mode.Memory mode is used for operating from memory channelswhich have programmed frequencies.➥ Push [V/M] (SKIP •S.MW) to select memory mode.• See p. 24 for memory programming details.What is VFO?VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscillator. Fre-quencies for receiving or transmitting are selected and con-trolled by the VFO.■ Operating band selectionThe transceiver can receive the AM broadcast, HF band,50 MHz, FM broadcast, VHF air, 144 MHz, 300 MHz,400 MHz, 600 MHz, *800 MHz, television channels or†Weather channels.Available frequency bands are differ depending on version.See the specification for details. (p. 75)*Some frequency ranges are inhibited for the USA versiondue to local regulation.†Available for the USA version only.➥ Push [BAND] (TS•LOCK) several times to select the desiredfrequency band.• When memory mode is selected, push [V/M] (SKIP •S.MW) to se-lect VFO mode first.➥ While pushing and holding [BAND] ( TS • LOCK ), rotating[DIAL] also selects frequency band.SCANS.MWSET[DIAL][DIAL]PushDual operationPush and hold +SCANSETS.MWATTDTCST SQLWFMAM -DUPLOWVOL PRIO P SKIPMR519ATTDTCST SQLWFMAM -DUPLOWVOL PRIO P SKIPMR519“ ” and memory channelnumber appear.• VFO mode indication• Memory mode indicationS.MW
