SELECTING FREQUENCIES
■ Tuning Control
Using the Tuning control is convenient when you are
within easy reach of the transceiver front panel, and
the frequencies to be selected are near the current
frequency.
1 Press [VFO] to select VFO mode.
2 Turn the Tuning control clockwise to increase the
frequency or counterclockwise to decrease the
frequency.
•You can also select frequencies via the microphone
keypad (MC-53DM only). See “KEYPAD DIRECT
ENTRY” {page 54}.
•To change frequencies in steps of 1 MHz, press
[MHz] first. Pressing [MHz] again cancels the
1 MHz function.
•To change frequencies in steps of 10 MHz, press
[F]
+[MHz] first; do not press
[F]
for longer than
1 second. Pressing
[F]
cancels the 10 MHz function;
pressing [MHz] starts the 1 MHz function.
Note:
If you cannot select a particular frequency, you need to
change the frequency step size. See “CHANGING FREQUENCY
STEP SIZE” {page 55} for further information.
■ Microphone [UP]/ [DWN] Buttons
Using Mic [UP]/ [DWN] for frequency selection is
useful when mobiling or any time you are not
immediately in front of the transceiver.
Press Mic [UP] or [DWN] once to change the
frequency by one step in the direction indicated by
the button.
• Pressing and holding the button causes the frequency to
step repeatedly. Release it to stop the frequency
change.
•To change frequencies in steps of 1 MHz (or 10 MHz),
press [MHz] (or
[F]
+[MHz]) first.
