2. In the “ AM / FM / PKT ” modes, rotate the knob to set the frequency. Clockwise rotation of the frequency.

3. You may also use the

DIG ” modes. The

knob increases the operating

knob to adjust the operating frequency in the “

SSB / CW /

knob provides faster tuning, ideal for making quick changes in frequency when you want to move across the band in a hurry. You can then use the

knob to make fine frequency adjustments.

4. If you press the knob momentarily, then rotate the knob, you can now change the operating frequency in 1 MHz steps, allowing very quick frequency excursions. This can be particularly helpful on the VHF and UHF bands.

5. In step 2 above, it was mentioned that tuning in the “ AM / FM / PKT ” modes is accomplished using the you wish to enable the

knob. By default, the knob is disabled in these modes; if
