7 SCOPE FUNCTIONS
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.
This function works in the Center mode only when Menu
[8-03] “Waterfall when Tuning (Center Mode)” is
configured to “Straight”.
The tuning assist line is displayed on the upper side with
respect to the carrier point in the case of USB and on the
lower side in the case of LSB.
Touchscreen Tuning
This function enables signals to be received by touching the
desired point in the bandscope display area or waterfall display
area.
• When in the Center mode, touching a point sets the
corresponding frequency as the center frequency.
• When in the Fixed mode, touching a point moves the marker to
the corresponding frequency.
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.

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
(USB-A or USB-B) or LAN connector on
ACC 2 connector,
the rear panel of this transceiver in the SSB, FM or AM mode. This
function is known as Data VOX.
The audio source input that is activated with the Data VOX function
can be switched using the steps below.

If this transceiver is left connected to an audio source
such as a PC when Data VOX is configured to an audio
source input setting other than “OFF”, this transceiver
may be placed in the transmission state by the signals
from the audio source.
When this transceiver is to be left connected to the audio
source, set the Data VOX audio source input to OFF to
prevent transmission that is unintended.
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.

transmitted by this transceiver can be monitored.
Press [MONI] to turn the TX monitor ON or OFF
The [MONI] LED lights up in green when the TX monitor is
turned on.
• The ON/OFF status of the TX monitor and monitor level are
stored in the memory for each of the mode groups below.
During split operation, the mode at the transmitting end will
be monitored.
• SSB/ FM/ AM
• SSB-DATA/ FM-DATA/ AM-DATA
• FSK/ PSK
• Each time there is a change in the mode, the transceiver
switches back to the TX monitor ON/OFF status stored in
each group. TX monitor is always OFF in the CW mode.
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.

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.
Scanning can be configured to the frequency range specified in
the memory channels for specific band segments (Program Scan)
or the entire RX frequency band (VFO Scan).
To perform Program Scan, register the memory channels for
specific band segments.

Program Slow Scan
Program Slow Scan is a function that extends the frequency
switching interval (performs scan more slowly) using the
preconfigured frequency for performing Program Scan (frequency
point) and the frequencies before and after this point (segment).
Switching slowly between the specified frequency (frequency
point) and the corresponding segment allows the communication
status to be checked in detail.
