Bandscope
With the signal strength represented on the vertical axis and
frequency on the horizontal axis, the bandscope provides a visual
representation of the condition of the RX frequency band.
•The bandscope comes in the following 3 modes.
Center mode: A mode where the center of the horizontal axis
represents the RX frequency.
Fixed mode: A mode where the lower and upper frequency
limits of the frequency band to be displayed are fixed.
Auto scroll mode: A mode where the scope range scrolls
automatically while maintaining the span when the lower or
upper limit of the marker scope range is exceeded.
•By displaying a waterfall below the bandscope display, the RX
frequency, surrounding conditions as well as transition in the
signal strength can be viewed.
•The vertical axis of the waterfall display represents time while
the horizontal axis represents frequency.
•Signal strength is represented in a spectrum in the order of white
(strong), red to yellow (medium) and green to blue (weak). The
color changes according to the strength of the signal to be
observed.
•The speed of the waterfall drop can be adjusted.
•When the waterfall is displayed, the height of the bandscope
display is reduced to one-third of the original size.
•The filter passband is constantly represented by a translucent
display in the bandscope.
●“OVF” is displayed when excessive signal is received. In
this case, configure an attenuator for the bandscope.

Marker Centering
The scope range can be shifted with the display frequency span
maintained such that the marker of the selected amateur band is
displayed near the center (within one grid to the left or right from
the center).
Press F4 [MKR.CTR].
The scope range is shifted with the frequency span maintained.
.
●Changes in the lower and upper frequency limits due to
the marker centering operation are temporary, and does
not alter the preconfigured lower and upper frequency
limits of the scope band in question.
Notification on Exceeding of Lower or Upper Limit
If the marker frequency falls outside the display range of the
bandscope when a frequency marker is displayed on the
bandscope in the Fixed mode, a display appears to inform the user
that the marker has moved out of the bandscope range.
A “ ” icon appears at the left edge of the bandscope screen if the
marker frequency value is smaller than the lower frequency limit,
and a “ ” appears at the right edge if the marker frequency value
is larger than the upper frequency limit.
The markers indicating that the lower or upper limit is exceeded
are color coded as follows.
White: RX frequency
Red: TX frequency
.
Displaying Tuning Assist Line (SSB Only)
This is a function for displaying a tuning assist line (yellow) in the
waterfall display area during operation in the SSB mode. When the
tuning assist line is displayed, the peak of the waveform is set near
this line.
For example, the frequency spectrum of a male voice is said to be
strongest near 500 Hz. In this case, displaying the tuning assist
line near a position shifted by 500 Hz from the carrier point of the
waterfall display area and allowing the part where strong signals
are flowing to overlap with the line helps to increase the probability
of zeroing in the target signal.
Configure in Menu [8-05] “Tuning Assist Line (SSB
Mode)”
Setting
Value Off (default)/ 300/ 400/ 500/ 600/ 700/ 800/ 1000/ 1500/

●Note that some setting combinations might trigger
unintended transmission by this transceiver. Also, when
this transceiver is connected to a PC or another audio
source via USB audio, LAN or ACC 2 and when DATA
VOX is ON, sound that is emitted by the audio source
might trigger transmission by this transceiver.
●These are common settings for the SSB, AM and FM
modes. Although settings can also be changed during
operation while the operation mode at the transmitting
end is configured to CW, PSK or FSK, the settings that
are displayed on the screen are those when DATA mode
is in the OFF status.
VOX (Voice-Operated Transmit)
VOX (voice) is a function that automatically starts transmission
when the user speaks into the microphone and returns to the
receiving status when voice input stops. After speaking into the
microphone, insert a short pause before returning to the receiving
status.
•For Data VOX, data that is input from an audio source other than
the MIC connector can also be transmitted in the same way.
Turing ON/OFF VOX Function
The VOX function switches automatically between transmission
and reception based on audio input from the microphone in the
SSB, FM or AM mode.
Press [VOX].
Pressing [VOX] each time toggles the VOX function between
ON and OFF.
When the VOX function is ON, the [VOX] LED lights up in green.
●During transmission using the VOX function, audio input
from the microphone is transmitted regardless of the
audio source input settings.
●If transmission and reception are not performed automatically
when the VOX function is set to ON, try adjusting the VOX gain
level, increasing the distance between the microphone and the
speaker, move closer to the microphone when speaking or turn
down the volume level for incoming calls. If the above methods
do not work, use a headphone.
Selecting Audio Source Input for Data VOX
The transmission status can be activated automatically when data
audio beyond a certain level is input from the ANI terminal of the
ACC 2 connector, (USB-A or USB-B) or LAN connector on
the rear panel of this transceiver in the SSB, FM or AM mode. This
function is known as Data VOX.

use of CW sidetone.
●In the FM, FSK and PSK modes, the audio of the TX
monitor may differ from the audio of the signal that is
actually transmitted.
Speech Processor
In the SSB mode, TX output power varies according to the
loudness of the audio from the transmitting transceiver, which may
sometimes cause audibility to deteriorate at the receiving
transceiver. A speech processor can be used in this case to
compress signals via digital signal processing to raise the average
power.
Similarly, using the speed processor in the AM or FM mode
stabilizes the degree of modulation regardless of the loudness of
the audio from the transmitting transceiver and helps to enhance
intelligibility.

Scan is a function that searches for signals by automatically
altering the frequency. This transceiver makes use of the following
scan methods to search for signals.
Scan Type Purpose
Normal Scan
Program Scan
Performs scan in the frequency
ranges that are registered in the
memory channels for specific band
segments (P0 to P9).
VFO Scan
Performs scan on the entire RX
frequency band. When Program
Scan is set to OFF for all the
memory channels for specific band
segments, Program Scan switches
automatically to VFO Scan.
However, when VFO Scan is
selected, VFO Scan is performed
even when not all channels are set
to OFF.
Scan Using
Memory
Channels
All-Channel
Scan Scans all Memory channels from 00
to 99, P0 to P9, and E0 to E9.
Group Scan Scans the grouped memory
channels.
Quick Memory
Scan Scans the Quick Memory channels.
Program Scan
Program Scan performs scan between the range specified by the
start and end frequencies which are registered in the each of
memory channels for specific band segments (P0 to P9).
•Configure the frequency range for Program Scan in the memory
channels for specific band segments (P0 to P9). Up to 10
frequency ranges that are transmitted by specific stations can
be preconfigured. Enabling standby in a nearby frequency
makes it easy to perform tuning to a specific station when the
station starts communication in the preconfigured frequency
range.
●Program Scan performs scan between the start and end
frequencies of a memory channel for specific band
segments and moves to the next channel after scanning
of the specified frequency range has ended.
●While scanning is in progress, turning the Tuning or
[MULTI/CH] control allows the frequency to be changed
quickly. The same operation can also be used to change
the scanning direction.
●Scanning is performed in the ascending order from low
to high frequency. Configuring the end frequency to a
value smaller than the start frequency by turning the
Tuning or [MULTI/CH] control reverses the scanning
direction (high to low frequency).
●Scanning is performed based on the step frequency of
the Tuning control when in the SSB, CW, FSK and PSK
modes, while it is based on the step frequency of the
[MULTI/CH] control when in the FM mode, and fixed at
100 Hz in the AM mode.
●Scanning stops when signals are received while
performing Program Scan (VFO Scan) in the FM mode
or during Memory Scan (All-channel Scan or Group
Scan) or Quick Memory Scan regardless of the operating
mode. For more information on the conditions to resume
scanning, please refer to “Configuring the Conditions for
Resuming Scan”.
●During standby for the CTCSS tone in the FM mode,
scan stops only when there is a matching CTCSS tone.
●When the [SQL] control is turned to the right to a level
that far exceeds the squelch threshold while in the FM
mode, scanning may not stop even at a channel where
a signal is present. Configure the squelch level to a point
that is near the squelch threshold.
