4.5 VFO A/B operations
Frequency swap: the contents (frequency) of VFO A and B can be swapped by a single long key-
press to the “Exit” button. This can be useful when setting up the VFO frequencies.
Copy VFO A to B: To copy VFO A to B, press the “Exit” button with a long key-press then a single
short press. It is similar to tapping a CW ‘N’ slowly on the “Exit” button.
Copy VFO B to A: To copy VFO A to B, press the “Exit” button with a long key-press then a quick
double-press. It is similar to tapping a CW ‘D’ on the “Exit” button.
4.6 Frequency Presets
There are 16 frequency presets which may be used for storing your favourite frequencies, or for
just temporary use, or however you wish!
The presets are labelled 1 to 16, and can be individually edited in the Preset menu (see later).
Often it is more convenient to just save them from the current VFO frequency.
To show the list of preset frequencies in normal operation mode, double click the “Exit” button. The
display now shows something like this:
A14,027,50
S 1 14,060,00 L
The top row of the display shows the currently active VFO frequency as usual.
The bottom row shows a “1” in the 4
th
character, this is the number of the preset displayed. The
next number (here 14,060,00) is the frequency stored in Preset 1.
Use the rotary encoder to scroll through the list of presets until you find the one you want. Once
you have selected the desired preset, press one of the buttons to Save, Cancel or Load the
preset, as follows:
SAVE the current VFO to the selected preset, by pressing the “Select” button
CANCEL the preset operation (back to main operating mode), by pressing right rotary
encoder button
LOAD the selected preset frequency into the current VFO, by pressing the “Exit” button
The “S” in the first character and “L” in the 16
th
character at the far right, are intended as a
reminder of which of the center two buttons to press to Save and to Load.
4.7 Automated message transmission mode
My favourite use of the automated message transmission mode is to send a CQ call repeatedly. If
a station answers, you can tap the key to cancel the message sending mode, then transmit.
There are 12 message memories. Each one is 50 characters long.
In order to send a pre-saved message, press the TUNE knob with a single long press. The first of
the saved messages is shown on the screen, for example if a CQ call is stored in Message 1, you
may have something like this:
QMX operang manual; rmware 1_00_012 14
