Icom IC-7000 - RIT Function

■ RIT function
The RIT (Receive Incremental Tuning) function com-
pensates for communicating stations off-frequency.
The function shifts the receive frequency up to ±9.999
kHz in 1 Hz steps (10 Hz steps when cancelling the 1
Hz step readout) without moving the transmit fre-
quency.
q Push [PBT/M-ch/RIT] momentarily to select the M-
ch/RIT function, if the twin PBT is selected.
•[PBT/M-ch/RIT] indicator (Green) goes out.
w Push [PBT/M-ch/RIT] for 1 sec. to enter the
RIT/∂TX mode.
e Push [F-1
RIT
] to turn the RIT function ON.
•“ ” indicator and the frequency shift appear and
[PBT/M-ch/RIT] indicator lights orange when the func-
tion is ON.
r Rotate [RIT] (outer) control to compensate for off-
frequency stations.
• The transmit frequency is not shifted.
t To reset the RIT frequency, push [F-3
CLR
] for 1
sec.
•Push [F-3
CLR
] momentarily to reset the RIT fre-
quency when “
Quick RIT/∂TX Clear
” in the
miscellaneous (others) set mode is ON. (p. 135)
y To cancel the RIT function, push [F-1
RIT
] mo-
mentarily again.
• “ ” indicator disappears.
u Push [
Z
( MENU / GRP )] to exit the RIT/∂TX mode.
When RIT and ∂TX are ON at the same time, the
[RIT] (outer) control shifts both the transmit and re-
ceive frequencies from the displayed frequency at
the same time.

FUNCTIONS FOR RECEIVE
• Calculate function
The shift frequency of the RIT (or ∂TX) function can
be added/subtracted to the displayed frequency.
While displaying the RIT (and/or ∂TX) shift fre-
quency, push and hold [F-1
RIT
] (or [F-2
∂TX
]) for
1 sec.
• Practical example
When you find a DX station on 21.025 MHz/CW and
the station is picking up stations transmitting slightly
up from 21.025 MHz.
q Push [F-1
RIT
] and [F-2
∂TX
] to turn both the
RIT and ∂TX functions ON.
w Rotate [RIT] (outer) to find the DX station’s re-
ceive frequency.
e When you find the DX station’s receive frequency,
push [F-1
RIT
] to turn the RIT function OFF.
•Now you can transmit the DX station’s receive fre-
quency and receive on the DX station’s transmit fre-
quency (21.025 MHz).
r Start transmitting when the station stands by for
new callers.
