BASIC OPERATION
■ Understanding the VFO
VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscilla-
tor. The IC-7200 VFOs can store frequencies and op-
erating modes.
You can set a desired frequency in the VFOs with the
keypad or the memory copy function. (p. 7-5)
You can also change the frequency with [DIAL] and se-
lect an operating mode with
MODE
or call up previously
accessed frequencies and modes with the band stack-
ing register. (p. 3-4)
The IC-7200 has two VFOs, VFO A and VFO B, espe-
cially suited for split frequency operation. You can use
the desired VFO to select a frequency and operating
mode.
