FT-920 Operating Manual
62
(Channel #d-01 to d-10)
Some operating circumstances require the receive
and transmit frequencies to be separated by a fre-
quency range in excess of that provided by the Clari-
fier feature (>9.99 kHz). For example, international
SSB operation on the 7 MHz band may require one
station to transmit in the frequency range 7.040 ~
7.100 MHz, while the other station must transmit in
the 7.150 ~ 7.300 MHz range. The FT-920 provides
ten special memories for such operating instances.
Storage and recall are similar to that described pre-
viously.
Split Frequency Memory Channel Storage
Q Set VFO-A to the required receive frequency and
mode, and set VFO-B to the required transmit fre-
quency and mode.
R Press the (Orange) VFO-B “TX” LED/Switch to
activate the Split mode, previously discussed on
page 54.
Note: It is also acceptable to store the transmit
frequency on VFO-A and the receive frequency
on VFO-B, if you prefer. In this case, in step‚ above,
press the VFO-B “RX” LED/Switch to set up the
appropriate Tx/Rx relationship between the two
VFOs.
S Press the [V K M] switch momentarily to enter
the Memory Check mode (the “M CK” indicator
will blink), then use the [UPF] or [DOWNG] key to
select the memory channel you wish to use (from
the special “Split” memories numbered “d-01”
through “d-10”).
T When you have chosen the desired memory chan-
nel, press and hold in the [V K M] key for ½ sec-
ond to lock the split frequency data into the cho-
sen memory location. As usual, a double beep
will indicate when you have held in the [V K M]
key long enough.
Split Frequency Memory Channel Recall
Q While operating in the VFO mode, press the [VFO/
MEM] key once to enter the Memory mode. The
“M
EM” indicator will appear on the display, replac-
ing the “VFO” indicator. It does not matter whether
or not you are operating in the “Split” mode at this
time.
R Next, press either the [UPF] or [DOWNG] key to
select the desired channel from within the d-01 ~
d-10 Split Memory bank. The (differing) transmit
and receive frequencies will be indicated on the
left and right sides of the frequency display, and
the VFO-A and VFO-B Tx and Rx LED/Switches
will be illuminated according to the relationship you
programmed.
S Particularly during 7 MHz pile-up situations, it may
be necessary to adjust your transmit frequency
(which
usually
will be stored in VFO-B). The
Memory Tune function is active with respect to
either
the VFO-A or VFO-B Tuning Dial, so you
may adjust either dial freely, as desired, if you need
to retune. The “M TUNE” indicator will appear, and
you may, as described earlier, store the retuned
frequency into another memory, if desired. Alter-
natively, press the [VFO/MEM] key once to return
to the original split frequency pair, and press it
once more to exit the memory and return to VFO
operation.
T As a convenience during Memory operation, once
you have recalled a channel within the Split
Memory Bank (channel #d-10 ~ d-10), you may
press the [MEM GROUP] key to restrict memory
access
only
to the Split Memory Bank. Press the
[MEM GROUP] key again to restore free memory
channel access.
