Icom IC-7000 Instruction Manual

D Differences between VFO and memory mode
VFO MODE
Each VFO shows a frequency and operating mode. If
the frequency or operating mode is changed, the VFO
automatically memorizes the new frequency or oper-
ating mode.
When VFO settings are changed with frequency and
mode from another VFO or memory mode, the last-
used frequency and operating mode for that VFO ap-
pear.
[EXAMPLE]
MEMORYMODE(pgs. 102–110)
Each memory channel shows a frequency and oper-
ating mode like a VFO. Even if the frequency or mode
is changed, the memory channel does not memorize
the new frequency or operating mode.
When a memory channel is changed with frquency
and mode from another memory channel or VFO
mode, the memorized frequency and operating mode
appear.

VFO is an abbreviation of Variable Frequency Oscilla-
tor, and traditionally refers to an oscillator.
The IC-7000 VFO is somewhat different. The VFO dis-
play of the IC-7000 acts like a computer’s window and
can show one frequency and one operating mode.
You can call up a desired frequency to the VFO with
the memo pad-read key (p. 112) or the memory trans-
fer function (p. 109). You can also change the fre-
quency with [DIAL] and select an operating mode with
[MODE] key or call up previously accessed frequency
and modes with the band stacking register (p. 28).
The IC-7000 has two VFOs, specially suited for split
frequency operation. The VFOs are called VFO A and
VFO B. You can use the desired VFO to call up a fre-
quency and operating mode for operation.
