3410 UTILIZING THE B-BANDSELECTING A MODE FOR THE B-BANDWhen using the B-band receiver, the followingreceiving mode is available.edoMgnivieceR segnaRycneuqerFelbaliavABSU/BSL zHk001 ≤ zHM074<fWC zHk001 ≤ zHM074<fMA zHk001 ≤ zHG3.1<fMF zHk001 ≤ zHG3.1<fMFW zHM7.92 ≤ zHG3.1<fLSB/ USB/ CW/ AM/ FM/ WFMTo select the receiving mode for the B-band:1 Press [VFO].2 Press [A/B] to select the B-band.3 Press [BAND], then turn the Tuning control orpress [ ]/ [ ] to select the desired frequency.4 Press [F], [BAND] repeatedly until you select thedesired receiving mode. The mode icon cyclesfrom FM Þ WFM Þ AM Þ LSB Þ USB Þ CW,and then goes back to FM.Note:u“FMN” appears in place of “FM” when you select “ON” for theMenu No. 29 (FM NARROW) {page 39}.uSelect “WFM” when you receive the audio signal of thebroadcasting stations, such as FM or TV stations.uIf the Fine Tuning function is ON {page 35}, you cannot select FMmode (FM/ NFM/ WFM). To select FM mode, turn the FineTuning function OFF.BAR ANTENNAAlthough the supplied wide-band helical antenna isused for receiving B-band frequencies, due to thesize and length limitation, it may not be suitable forlow HF band (below 10.1 MHz) reception. Thetransceiver features a built-in bar antenna for thereception frequency below 10.1 MHz. Thetransceiver automatically switches to the bar antennawhen you select a frequency below 10.1 MHz for theB-band. However, you can connect an externalantenna to the antenna connector instead.To disable the built-in bar antenna below 10.1 MHz:1 Press [MNU].2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to selectMenu No. 26 (BAR ANT).3 Press [ ] or [MNU].4 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select“DISABLED”.5 Press [ ] or [MNU] to store the setting.Note: The bar antenna is embedded in the base of the transceiver,horizontally. The antenna has the same characteristics as a dipoleantenna. If the target station’s signal is weak, rotate the transceiverto find the best receiving position.dnaB ycneuqerF petS edoMdnabMA zHk025~zHk001 zHk5 MAzHM17.1~zHk025 zHk01 MAFHzHM5.3~zHM17.1zH001)NOENIF(MAzHM0.4~zHM5.3 BSLzHM0.7~zHM0.4 MAzHM3.7~zHM0.7 BSLzHM1.01~zHM3.7 MAzHM51.01~zHM1.01 WCzHM0.41~zHM51.01 MAzHM53.41~zHM0.41 BSUzHM860.81~zHM53.41 MAzHM861.81~zHM860.81 BSUzHM0.12~zHM861.81 MAzHM54.12~zHM0.12 BSUzHM98.42~zHM54.12 MAzHM99.42~zHM98.42 BSUzHM0.82~zHM99.42 MAzHM7.92~zHM0.82 BSUm6zHM0.64~zHM7.92 zHk5 MFzHM0.05~zHM0.64 zHk05 WMFzHM0.25~zHM0.05 zHk01 MFzHM0.86~zHM0.25 zHk05 WMFzHM5.78~zHM0.86 zHk5 MFdnabMF zHM0.801~zHM5.78 zHk05 WMFdnabriA zHM0.731~zHM0.801 zHk52 MAm2zHM0.441~zHM0.731 zHk5MFzHM0.641~zHM0.441 zHk5.21zHM0.471~zHM0.641 zHk5VTFHV zHM0.032~zHM0.471 zHk05 WMFm52.1 zHM0.004~zHM0.032 zHk5.21 MFzHM0.034~zHM0.004 zHk5.21mc07 zHM0.044~zHM0.034 zHk52 MFzHM0.074~zHM0.044 zHk5.21VTFHU zHM0.268~zHM0.074 zHk05 WMFmc32 zHM0.0421~zHM0.268 zHk5.21 MFzHM0.0031~zHM0.0421 zHk52n B-band Frequency Coverage (TH-F7E)Note: By default, the Fine Tuning function is activated automaticallyfor 1.71 MHz ~ 29.7 MHz.
