desired signal in the RX2 display and click the left mouse button. VFO B will immediately tune to the
frequency of the selected signal.
When in CW, AM, SAM, DSB, FM, or DRM the VFO will tune the cursor frequency to the center of the
filter pass band. In SSB the VFO will tune to the carrier frequency for the sideband selected.
Hint 1: You can very quickly center a CW, (S)AM, DSB or FM signal after click
tuning it by clicking the 0 Beat (12) button on the Front Console
(make sure the display AVG (9) or (9b) button is on to enable 0
Beat).
Hint 2: If you have checked Snap ClickTune (Setup Form, General tab -
Options sub-tab; see page 85) then spectrum click tuning will tune
the VFO to the nearest discrete multiple of the Tune Step. E.g. if the
Tune Step is set to 1kHz, the VFO will only ClickTune in steps of 1kHz.
Keyboard Keys
Use the following keys on your keyboard to tune the VFO.
Numeric Keypad : Key any frequency in MHz (e.g. 7.250) into the numeric keypad and hit
enter to immediately tune VFO A to that frequency.
Mapped Keys : You can map keys on your keyboard to tune each of the digits in VFO A using
the Keyboard Tab on the Setup Form (page 123).
Ctrl +Arrow Keys : Hold the Control key and press the
o Up or Down Arrow key to tune VFO A up or down by the Tune Step (2).
o Right or Left Arrow key to increase or decrease the Tune Step (2).

Both the Griffin PowerMate and the Contour Designs Shuttle Pro v2 can be used to tune the radio. You
can download the Griffin PowerMate Quick Start Guide and the Contour ShuttlePro v2 Quick Start
Guide from the downloads page of our website to learn how to setup and use these controllers. Also
available is the Contour ShuttlePro Default Preferences file, which can be imported as a good starting
point when using this controller. (All these documents and more can be found by searching for either
PowerMate or ShuttlePro on our Knowledge Center at http://kc.flex-radio.com/search.aspx)
