digits, there are three special functions: [X] (delete last-entered digit),
[.] (decimal point), and [<-] (enter).
The keypad can be used to enter data in some menu entries, such as
XVTR Band <n> RF. In this case a small keypad icon will appear to the
right of the parameter edit field.
Additional functions of the keypad switches are covered below.
Spot and Auto-Spot
In CW and some data modes, tapping [SPOT] turns on a spotting tone
at a per-mode pitch. The VFO can be adjusted until the signal pitch
matches that of the spot tone. Use {XMTR} [MON] to adjust
spot/sidetone volume. (To set LINE OUT sidetone level, use MENU:TX
Monitor Level, Line Out.)
Auto-spot is also available. See Using SPOT and AUTO-spot.
Mode Selection
Tap [MODE] (or tap the VFO A or B ID icons) to bring up the mode
button group.
Most mode buttons can be tapped a second time to select an
alternate mode. For example, if LSB mode is in effect, tapping the LSB
button will switch to USB. Tapping CW will switch to CW-R (CW
reverse mode). Alternate modes can also be selected using [ALT], the
hold function of [MODE].
See OPERATING MODES for per-mode operating instructions.
Frequency Entry and Scanning
Tap [FREQ ENT] to directly enter a desired VFO A frequency. To set the
VFO B frequency, first tap [B SET], then [FREQ ENT].
