FUNCTIONS FOR TRANSMIT
6
■ Quick split function
q Suppose you are operating at 21.290 MHz (USB)
in VFO A.
w Push [F-1
SPL
] (
M
- 1
) for 1 sec.
• Split frequency operation is turned ON.
•The VFO A and VFO B are equalized.
e While pushing [F-4
XFC
] (
M
-
1
), rotate [DIAL] to
set the frequency offset between transmit and re-
ceive.
•[XFC] on the HM-151 can also be used.
• The transmit frequency can be monitored while pushing
[F-4
XFC
].
When you are searching for DX stations and you
suspect that a DX station may say “up ‘X’ kHz” for
their receive frequency:
OPERATION 1
q Push [F-1
SPL
] (
M
- 1
) for 1 sec. to standby for
split operation.
w If the DX station’s operator says “up 10 kHz.”
•Push [F-INP/ENT], [1], [0] then [F-1
SPL
] (
M
- 1
).
• Or, rotate the tuning dial.
OPERATION 2
If the DX station’s operator says “down 5 kHz” be-
fore you enter standby for split operation:
➥ Push [F-INP/ENT], [•], [5] then [F-1
SPL
] (
M
- 1
).
•The split function is turned ON and “5 kHz down” fre-
quency is entered in the sub readout.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
When you are working a pile-up and you want to
start split frequency operation to simplify picking out
stations:
q Push [F-1
SPL
] (
M
- 1
) momentarily and push [F-
2
A/B
] (
M
- 1
) for 1 sec.
• The transmit (VFO B) frequency is equalized to the re-
ceive (VFO A) frequency and “ ” appears.
w Rotate [DIAL] to set your receive frequency in the
VFO A.
e Announce your receive frequency.
r After you catch one of the calling stations’ call
signs, push and hold the PTT switch to respond.
• While pushing [F-4
XFC
], you can monitor your trans-
mit frequency.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
When you find a DX station, an important considera-
tion is how to set the split frequency.
When you push [F-1
SPL
] (
M-1
) for 1 sec., split frequency
operation is turned ON, the undisplayed VFO is automati-
cally changed according to the plus/minus shift frequency
programmed in the miscellaneous (others) set mode
(p. 131) or equalized with the displayed VFO when 0.000
MHz (default) is programmed as the split offset frequency.
This shortens the time needed to start split frequency
operation.
Quick split operation is turned ON by default but can be
turned OFF in the miscellaneous (others) set mode (p. 131).
Menu selection (Example: M-1)
•Push [MENU/GRP] for 1 sec. once or twice to select
the menu group
M
. Selection from:
M

(Graphic)
•Push [MENU/GRP] momentarily one or more times to
select the menu
M
