What is VFO?
VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscillator. Fre-
quencies for transmitting and receiving are generated and
controlled by the VFO.
■ Operating band selection
The transceiver can receive the 50 MHz band, VHF avionics
band, 144 MHz band, 300 MHz band, 400 MHz band, 800
MHz band* or 1200 MHz band.
➥Push [BAND] several
times to select the de-
sired band.
•When a memory or call
channel is selected, the
first push of [BAND] se-
lects VFO mode (and
transfers the memory or
call channel contents).
When pushing [PTT],
“OFF” appears indicating
the frequency is outside
the 144/400 MHz ama-
teur bands.
*Some frequencies can-
not be received with
the U.S.A. version.
