This feature is convenient when you want to monitor an entire amateur band.
The starting point, located at the left edge of the screen, can be set via the Menu. Even if the screen span
(bandwidth) is changed, the start frequency will not be changed. By watching the screen, you can move your
operation to frequencies where interesting activity appears on the display. Just as with the CTR mode, it is
possible to toggle the Main (VFO-A) or Sub (VFO-B) VFOs. It is also possible to utilize a dual display, with the
Main (VFO-A) VFO in the upper position, and the Sub (VFO-B) VFO below.

for the Span (bandwidth). By pressing the
[ F2 ]( SPAN ) key, the span will change as follows.

ation value. By pressing the [ F3 ]( ATT ) key, the

the yellow arrow " " will move to follow your re-
ceive frequency.

the position of the operating frequency will be
"shown" in the lower area of the display as " " " ",
and " RCV Freq is out of range
