To set newtuning steps, use 0enu items “156 AM CH STEP” and“157 FM CH STEP”.Keyboard Frequency EntryThe 2perating freTuency may be entered directly intothe current VF2, using the front panel [BAND] key but-tons.Example: Enter 14.250.00 MHz1. 3ress the [ENT] button tobegin the direct freTuencyentry process. 1ow, begin-ning with the first digit ofthe freTuency the leftmostdigit), we will enter the re-Tuired digits of the freTuency.. 3ress, in order, the digits of the operating freTuency,using the [BAND] buttons the freTuency entry digitor decimal point is printed on the right side of thebuttons). In this example, enter[1.8 1)] Æ [10 4)] Æ [GEN .)] Æ [3.5 2)] Æ[14 5)] Æ [50 0)] Æ [50 0)] Æ [50 0)] Æ[50 0)]The decimal point after the “0H]” portion of thefreTuency must be entered, but no decimal point isreTuired after the “kH]” portion.3. 3ress the [ENT] button once more to complete theoperating freTuency entry. $ short “beep” will con-¿rm that the entry was successful, and the new oper-ating freTuency will appear on the display.A DVICE :If you attempt to enter a freTuency outside the oper-ating range of 30 kH] a 6 0H], the microprocessorwill ignore the attempt, and you will be returned tothe previous operating freTuency. If this happens,please try again, taking care not to repeat the error inthe freTuency entry process.Using the [VFO-B/CLAR] knobYou may change the VF2-$ f r e T u e n c y i n 1 0 H ]steps. 3ress the [MHz/μT]button located at the bot-tom left of the [VFO-B/CLAR] knob. The 1 0H]steps will be applied to theVF2-$ freTuency. The “MHz 1MHz” notation will ap-pear in the display.When tuning in 1 0H] steps, clockwise rotation of the[VFO-B/CLAR] knob will increase the freTuency, whilecounter-clockwise rotation will decrease the freTuency.M ORE FREQUENCY NAVIGATION TECHNIQUESCONVENIENCE FEATURES
