“MY BANDS” OPERATION
When operating on an Amateur Band, it is possible to use the
[
BAND
]
buttons to engage the use of the
[
SUB VFO-B
]
knob
for Amateur band selection. The “My Bands” feature allows you to select several Amateur bands, and make only those
bands available for selection via the
[
SUB VFO-B

knob.
This feature can be very useful in a contest, where the 10/18/24 MHz band are not used, or if you do not have antennas for
some bands.

knob to choose a band that
you wish to skip (omit) from the band-selection loop

tion). The available choices are 1.8/3.5/5/7/10/14/18/
21/24/28/50/GE (General Band)/AU (Transverter).
4. Press the
[

button to set the omission command
to ON. The “
