33UTILIZING THE B-BANDABOUT THE B-BANDUsually you can communicate with other amateurradio stations using A-band frequencies for receivingand transmitting. This transceiver also featuresanother receiver in addition to the A-band transceiver.The frequency for the B-band appears on the bottompart of the display. Although the A-band transceivercovers only the 2 m/ 1.25 m (TH-F6A only)/ 70 cmamateur radio bands in FM mode, the B-bandreceiver can receive signals from 100 kHz to470 MHz in SSB, CW, FM, or AM mode, and from470 MHz to 1.3 GHz in FM or AM mode.In this way, you can monitor 2 different frequencies atthe same time. For example, you can listen to a localFM broadcasting station on the B-band while you aremonitoring your club channel on the A-band.If one of the A-band amateur radio bands is selectedfor the B-band receiver in FM mode, you can alsotransmit on the B-band frequency.B-BAND FREQUENCYSince the B-band frequency coverage is so wide, thedefault frequency band, mode, and frequency stepsize are preprogrammed as shown below.1 Press [A/B] to select B-band.• The “s” icon moves, indicating which band iscurrently selected for operation.2 Press [BAND] until the desired frequency bandappears.• Each time you press [BAND], the frequencyband cycles from the last band you selected tothe upper band frequency.
