FT-65R/FT-65E Advance Manual7VFO Split ModeWhen working on repeaters with odd splits, or communicating with astronauts on orbitingspace vehicles, it may be necessary to use nonstandard splits between the receive andtransmit frequencies. If the application is infrequent enough not to warrant the dedicationof a memory channel for this purpose, the “VFO Split” mode may be used. Here is theprocedure for going Split:1. Turn the transceiver OFF.2. Press and hold the MONI/T.CALL key and the PTT switch simultaneously, while turn-ing the transceiver ON.The Preferred Operating Mode will display on the LCD.3. Press the [▲] or [▼] key to select Preferred Operating Mode Item “F8:DUAL DISP”.4. Press the F key momentarily to activate the Dual Display Mode.5. Press and hold the F key to enter the Set Mode.6. Press the [▲] or [▼] key to select Set Mode Item “34 VFO.SPL”.7. Press the F key to enable adjustment of this item.8. Press the [▲] or [▼] key to select “VSP.ON”.9. Press the PTT switch to save the new setting andreturn to normal operation.10. Press the [ V/M] key twice, as needed, to select VFO-A.11. Set VFO-A for the desired receiving (downlink) frequency (e.g.145.800 MHz).12. Press the [ V/M] key to set VFO-B for desired transmit (uplink) frequency (e.g.144.475 MHz).13. Press the [ V/M] key twice to re-establish VFO-A as the “Main” (receive) VFO.The transceiver will now be operating in the Split mode.14. When the PTT switch is pressed to transmit, VFO-A and VFO-B will reverse positions.To modify the VFO-B (transmit) frequency (for Doppler Shift correction, etc.), justpress the [ V/M] key, make the necessary change, and then press the [ V/M] keyonce more to restore VFO-A to the “receive VFO” position.
