The LED inside the button will glowgreen when the transceiver is receiving on the VFO-A frequency.When the transceiver receives the VFO-A frequency,pressing this button momentarily will mute the re-ceiver, and the indicator will blink. Pressing the but-ton once more will restore receiver operation, andthe indicator will glow green steadily.[(VFO-A)TX] Indicator/SwitchWhen this button is pushed, the LED inside thebutton will glow red; and, when the PTT switch ispressed, the transceiver will transmit on the VFO-Afrequency (subject to any Clarifier offset, of course).A dvice :If this indicator is not illuminated, it means the[(VFO-B)TX] Indicator/Switch has been selected (itwill be glowing red). In this case, transmission will beon the frequency and mode programmed for VFO-B.[STO] (Store) ButtonPressing the [STO] button copies the contents (fre-quency, mode, bandwidth, FM repeater offset, andCTCSS settings) of VFO-A, into consecutive QMBMemories.[RCL] (Recall) ButtonPressing the [RCL] button, recalls one of up to fiveQuick Memory Bank memories for operation.[NAR] (Narrow) SwitchThis button is used to set the DSP (digital) IF filtersto Narrow bandwidth.A dvice :You may adjust the bandwidth using the [WIDTH]knob.In the AM mode, this button is used to toggle the re-ceiver bandwidth between wide (9 kHz) and narrow(6 kHz).In the FM mode on the 28 MHz and 50 MHz bands,this button is used to toggle the FM deviation/band-width between wide (±5.0 kHz Dev./25.0 kHz BW)and narrow (±2.5 kHz Dev./12.5 kHz BW).[SPLIT] SwitchPress this button to operate split frequency betweenVFO-A (used for reception) and VFO-B (used fortransmission). If you press and hold in the [SPLIT]button for one second, the “Quick Split” feature willbe engaged.
