BASIC OPERATION
■ RIT/VXO function (1200 MHz band)
In the 1200 MHz band, differences between actual and dis-
played frequencies can often be large. The RIT (receive in-
cremental tuning) function allows you to compensate the
displayed frequency for differences in the actual receive fre-
quency; the VXO (variable crystal oscillator) function allows
you to compensate the displayed frequency for differences in
the actual receive and transmit frequencies.
D Activating RIT/VXO
➀ Select a frequency in the 1200 MHz band (or a memory
channel with a 1200 MHz band frequency; or the 1200
MHz band call channel).
➁ Push [MULTI] for 1 sec. to enter set mode.
➂ Push [MULTI(↕)] one or more times until “rV” appears.
➃ Push [MULTI(↔)] one or more
times to select “RIT” (RIT activated,
“VXO” (VXO activated) or “OFF”
(neither activated)—[DIAL] can
also be used.
➄ Push [VFO] to exit set mode and
return to the previously selected
mode.
• When RIT or VXO is activated, “:” ap-
pears above the decimal point in the
frequency indication (in the 1200 MHz band).
USING
SET MODE
D Adjusting the frequency with RIT/VXO
Make sure that RIT or VXO is activated in set mode and that
the 1200 MHz band is selected.
➀ Select a frequency in the 1200 MHz band (or a memory
channel with a 1200 MHz band frequency; or the 1200
MHz band call channel).
➁ Push [RIT] to display the frequency
offset in kHz.
➂ Push [MULTI(↔)] one or more
times (or rotate [DIAL]) to adjust
the frequency offset.
• The frequency offset can be set
±5 kHz in 1 kHz steps.
➃ Push [VFO] to return to regular dis-
play indication.
☞ NOTE: When using the RIT/VXO function the indicated off-
set frequencies are only approximate values.
Offset: –2 kHz (approx.)
Offset: +5 kHz (approx.)
