143FREQUENCY AND CHANNEL SETTING3 Setting a tuning stepThe tuning step can be selected for each frequency band in-dependently , however, the tuning steps, 8.33 kHz and 9 kHz,are appeared when setting the tuning step for the VHF airband and AM broadcast band, respectively. The following tun-ing steps are available for the IC-R20.• 0.01 kHz • 0.1 kHz • 1.0 kHz • 5.0 kHz • 6.25 kHz• 8.33 kHz • 9.0 kHz • 10.0 kHz • 12.5 kHz • 15.0 kHz• 20.0 kHz • 25.0 kHz • 30.0 kHz • 50.0 kHz • 100.0 kHzDD Tuning step selectionq Push [VFO MHz] to select VFO mode, if necessary.w Push [BAND] to select the desired frequency band.• Or, while pushing and holding [BAND], rotate the [R-DIAL] to se-lect the desired frequency band.e Push [9 TS] for 1 sec. to enter tuning step selecting condition.r Rotate [R-DIAL] to select the desired tuning step.t Push [9 TS] to return to VFO mode. Setting a frequencyDD Using the dialq Push [VFO MHz] to select VFO mode, if necessary.w Select the desired frequency band with [BAND].• Or, while pushing and holding [BAND], rotate the [R-DIAL] to se-lect the desired frequency band.e Rotate [R-DIAL] to select the desired frequency.• The frequency changes according to the preset tuning steps.See the left section for setting the tuning step.• Push [VFO MHz] for 1 sec. then rotate [R-DIAL] to change thefrequency in 1 MHz steps, or push for 1 sec. again then rotate[R-DIAL] to change the frequency in 10 MHz steps. (Each pushfor 1 sec. toggles 1 MHz or 10 MHz tuning steps.)FMMODE146 010 00FMMODE146 010 00[R-DIAL] changes the frequen-cy according to the selectedtuning step.While pushing [ VFO MHz ], [R-DIAL] changes the frequency in1 MHz steps (default).[R-DIAL]BANDVFOMHzSET TS:5.0kHz√MODE ANLAFCTSQLFM146 010PSKIP-DUP5 kHz tuning step[R-DIAL]TS9BANDVFOMHz
