DIRECT KEYPAD FREQUENCY ENTRYThis function is available only on transceivers equippedwith a DTMF keypad. Entering the desired frequencydirectly via the keypad can be the fastest way ofselecting a different frequency especiaily when a smallfrequency step has been selected. If the new frequencyis hundreds of kHz or more from the current frequency,and you don’t have the new frequency stored in anymemory channels, use direct entry.1 Press [VFO] to select the VFO.2 Enter the desired frequency using the numeric keys.e For versions with receiver coverage wider than10 MHz, the 10 MHz digit must be entered.Otherwise, begin entering from the 1 MHz digit.« When the current step size is 5 kHz, 10 kHz,15 kHz, or 20 kHz, enter numeric values down tothe 1 kHz digit. Enter either 0 or 5 for the 1 kHzdigit.e When the current.step size is 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz,entering the 10 kHz digit completes frequencysetting. The 10 kHz and subsequent digits are setaccording to which key is pressed for the 10 kHzdigit as shown in the chart.e Except for the 1 kHz digit, entering a digit that isoutside the allowable range causes the nearest digitwithin range to be displayed. For the 1 kHz digit,pressing [0] to [4] selects °O" and pressing [5] to[9] selects "5".16Frequency(kHz)10 kHz Frequencykey (kHz)|87ae» if any key other than [0] to [9], [MONI], or [LAMP] ispressed, or if the next entry is not made within 10seconds, the previous frequency will be restored.87.5Note:>» if {VFO] is pressed while entering the frequency, the newcata is accepted for the digits entered and the previousCata remains unchanged for the digits not yet entered.» Turning the ENC/SQL control while entering the frequencycancels the new numeric data entered, and raises orlowers the previously displayed frequency.
