Transmitter Operation
SPLIT
FREQUENCY OPERATION
The FT-100 provides convenient split-frequency operation, using the VFO-A and VFO-B,
for DX working and other operating situations requiring unique split frequency pairs.
The example below will describe a split-frequency DX situation
on
the 20-meter band,
with a DX station transmitting on
14.025 MHz, listening 10 kHz higher in the band.
\. With the
VFO-A set to 14.025.00 MHz
Cw.
2. Press the [FUNC] key, as needed, to select Operating Function Row 1 [AlB, A=B,
SPL,
QMB] on the display.
3.
Press the [A](AlB) key momentarily to to VFO-B.
4. Tune the VFO-B frequency to 14.035.00 MHz.
5.
Press the [C](SPL) key momentarily. The FT-IOO will now transmit using the VFO-B
frequency, and will receive using the VFO-A frequency. The "SPL" icon will appear on
the display.
6.
To
listen to the pile-up calling the DX station (so as to align your frequency more
closely to that
of
the station being worked by the DX), press the [A](A/B) key. The
VFO-B will now be tuning
in
the vicinity
of
14.035 MHz, and you can zero
in
on the
DX station's listening frequency
by
tuning
in
on the station
in
QSO with the DX. Press
[A](AlB) again to return the receiver to the DX station's transmitting frequency.
7.
Press the [C](SPL) key once more to cancel split operation, and the "SPL" icon will
disappear from the display.
TIME-OUT
TIMER
Most often used on FM, the transmitter's Time-Out Timer (TOT) feature disables the trans-
mitter after a user-defined period oftransmission. This feature may be useful
in
preventing
a
"stuck microphone" (accidental closure
of
the PTT switch) from causing interference to
other users.
To
activate the Time-Out Timer:

Press and hold
in
the [FUNC] key for
Y,
second to enter the
MENU
mode.

Rotate the SELECT knob to recall
MENU
#30 (TOT TIME).
(J) The default value for this feature
is
"20 minutes." Rotate the MAIN DIAL to set a
new value from 1 minute to
20 minutes.

When you have made your selection, press the [FUNC] key momentarily to save
the new setting and exit to normal operation.
