■ Quick split function
When you find a DX station, an important considera-
tion is how to set the split frequency.
When you push the [SPLIT] switch for 1 sec., split fre-
quency operation is turned ON, the sub readout is
equalized to the main readout frequency and enters
standby for transmit frequency input.
This shortens the time needed to start split frequency
operation.
The quick split function is ON by default. For your con-
venience, it can be turned OFF in set mode. (p. 12-15)
In this case, the [SPLIT] switch does not equalize the
main and sub readout frequencies.
q Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB) in
VFO mode.
w Push [SPLIT] for 1 sec.
• Split frequency operation is turned ON.
• The sub readout is equalized to the main readout fre-
quency.
• “ ” indicator appears and the sub readout en-
ters standby for transmit frequency input.
e Enter the desired offset frequency from the keypad
then push [SPLIT], or set the transmit frequency with
the main dial while pushing [XFC], or with the sub
dial.
• “ ” indicator disappears when [XFC] is pushed
or the main/sub dial is rotated.
• Offset frequency setting with the keypad— example
To transmit on 1 kHz higher frequency:
- Push [F-INP•
ENT], [1.8•1] then [SPLIT].
To transmit on 3 kHz lower frequency:
- Push [F-INP•
ENT], [GENE•.], [7•3] then [SPLIT].

Split lock function
The split lock function is convenient for changing only
the transmit frequency. When the split lock function is
not used, accidentally releasing [XFC] while rotating the
main dial, changes the receive frequency. The split lock
function is ON by default, but can be turned OFF in set
mode. (p. 12-15)
q While split frequency operation is ON, push [LOCK]
for both main and sub band to activate the split lock
function.
w While pushing [XFC], rotate the main dial to change
the transmit frequency.
• If you accidentally release [XFC] while rotating the main
dial, the receive frequency does NOT change.
