General Description

SDR receiver circuit designed with emphasis on fundamental performance

The high-resolution A/D converter and the FPGA element developed for the high-end SDR Yaesu Trans-

ceivers are utilized. The twin A/D converter circuit conguration performs digital conversion processing
using two A/D converters and FPGA digital synthesis. A/D converter overow due to overload is reduced

to improve blocking characteristics. In addition, random noise is added to the analog signal before digital
conversion, and by minimizing the quantization error during digital conversion by the A/D converter, distor­tion is suppressed. Then Dithering technology is implemented to improve IM (intermodulation) character­istics, etc., and enhance the overall performance of the SDR receiver circuit.

3DSS method adopted

In addition to the conventional waterfall display, a 3DSS (3 Dimensions Spectrum Stream) image method
has been adopted. The 3DSS image uses the horizontal axis (X axis) for frequency, the vertical axis (Y
axis) for signal intensity, and the Z axis for time. Compared to the conventional waterfall method, the sig­nal strength is displayed in three dimensions as well as in color, recognition of changes in the band condi­tions is instant, convenient and intuitive.

AESS (Acoustic Enhancement Speaker System) produces high-delity Audio

Using DSP signal processing, the speaker in the top of the Transceiver, and an external side speaker are
combined to reproduce high-quality received audio with a wide frequency range and a three-dimension-

al e󰀨ect that would not be expected from a compact HF transceiver. set the optimum sound quality by

adjusting the output balance and frequency characteristics of the two speakers according to your prefer­ence.

High-brightness TFT full-color display with touch-panel functionality

The FT-710 is equipped with a 4.3-inch full-color TFT display. Operating functions, including the receiving
band noise and signal interference reduction tools, are graphically displayed. Even while involved in rig­orous operations, such as DXpeditions and contests, the operator may instantly grasp the status of each
function.

Filter Function Display monitors the status of the passband

In the upper part of the display, a lter function display presents the state of the pass-band. In addition to
the operating state of the interference removal functions, the lter function information is displayed. Not

only can you grasp the operating status of WIDTH, SHIFT, NOTCH and CONTOUR at a glance, you can
also view the status of the RF spectrum in the passband.

Two selectable RF Stages amplify the desired signals from low band to

high band

RF amplifier AMP1, and AMP2 are low noise negative feedback RF amplifiers that may be selected or
combined in series as is needed for various low-band, high-band, frequency and noise conditions.
In addition, the IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function maximizes the dynamic range and enhances
the close multi-signal and inter-modulation characteristics of the receiver. The inuence of strong broad­casting stations, especially in the low bands, can be minimized.

WIDTH and the continuously variable Bandwidth SHIFT features per­mit elimination of interfering signals

The WIDTH feature allows the bandwidth to be narrowed by rotating the WIDTH knob. The SHIFT feature,
can eliminate interference in one side of the passband. Often, weak signals disappear due to interfering
signals (including pile-ups). The interfering signals may be extracted, leaving only the desired signal, be-

cause of the unique DSP sharp ltering characteristics.

CONTOUR feature is renowned for e󰀨ective noise reduction

Rather than using the DSP extremely sharp attenuation characteristics, the CONTOUR circuit provides
gentle shaping of the DSP passband lter, and can thus attenuate or peak bandwidth components in seg­ments. The interfering signal can be naturally shaped without having part of the signal suddenly disrupted.

The contour function is very e󰀨ective in making the desired signal rise out of the interference.

4

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) by DSP digital processing

The incorporated digital noise reduction circuit may be set to the optimal working algorithm by varying the
15 step parameters according to the noise type.

NOTCH feature can eliminate an unwanted heterodyne, and the DNF
feature can instantly attenuate multiple heterodyne signals

When interfering beat signals are present in the receiver passband, the IF NOTCH feature can signicant­ly eliminate a narrow portion of the passband and remove the interfering signal. Moreover, when there are
multiple interfering signals, the DSP DNF (Digital Notch Filter) Automatic Tracking System can be e󰀨ec­tive, even when an interfering frequency is changing.

[FUNC] (function) knob

Simply press the function [FUNC] knob to easily select the setting menu, and then change the setting val­ue. Quick response is possible even while operating. Assign a frequently used function or setting menu
and then you can easily change the setting just by turning the knob.

VMI (VFO mode indicator)

The VMI is placed on the left and right sides of the MAIN dial to show the current operating status of

VFO-A, VFO-B, Memory mode and clarier/split operation.

The color of the VMI indicator may be selected from 4 colors (blue/green/red/white) for each operation
status.

SD memory card

An SD card slot on the left side of the front panel permits using a commercially available SD memory card
for recording/playback of received audio, for voice recording for transmission, to save the various oper­ating settings, saving memory contents, and screen capture (saving the display screen). The SD card is

also used to update the rmware.

Antenna Considerations

The FT-710 is designed to connect to a 50 Ohm resistive impedance antenna at the Amateur operating
frequencies. Select an appropriate antenna (dipole antenna, YAGI antenna, cubical quad antenna, etc.)
that is suitable for the chosen operation and bands.
Construct the antenna and coaxial cable, or use a suitable antenna tuner, to maintain the impedance
presented to the FT-710 antenna connector for an SWR of 1.5 or less. Careful preparation of the antenna
and/or tuner will permit maximum performance, and protect the transceiver from damage.
High transmitter RF voltages may be present on the antenna; install it so it will not be easily touched when
in operation.

Antenna Connections

Carefully follow the illustration regarding the proper connection of antennas and coaxial cables.

To prevent damage from lightning, atmospheric electrical discharges,
electric shock etc., provide a good earth ground.

Use a short, thick, braided cable to connect the station equipment to the
buried ground rod (or alternative earth ground system).

Power Cable Connections

Carefully follow the illustrations regarding the proper connection of the DC power cable.
Use the DC power cable supplied with the FT-710 to make the power connections to the power supply.

Installation guidelines

• Ensure adequate ventilation around the trans­ceiver, to prevent heat build-up and possible re­duction of performance due over heating.

• Do not install the transceiver in a mechanically
unstable location, or where objects may fall onto
it from above.

• To minimize the possibility of interference to
home entertainment devices, take all precaution­ary steps including separation of TV/FM anten-

RED

nas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the
greatest extent possible. Keep the transmitting
coaxial cables separated from cables connected
to home entertainment devices.

• The AC Power Cord connected to a socket-out­let with earthing connection. A socket-outlet with
earthing connection shall connect to protective
earthing conductor.

Important Receiver Settings

Important setting items when receiving

The status of various operations that are important during receive, are shown at the bottom of the display.
To change a setting, touch the appropriate location on the display.

• ATT (Attenuator)

Displays the current ATT (Amount of receive input
signal attenuation).
When the desired signal is extremely strong or
the noise level is high on a low frequency band,
activate the attenuator to reduce the incoming
signal or noise from the antenna.
After touching [ATT], touch the desired attenua­tion amount.
The attenuator is set independently for each op­eration band.

OFF Attenuator is O󰀨

6dB

12dB

18dB

The incoming signal power is reduced by 6dB
(Signal voltage reduced to 1/2)

The incoming signal power is reduced by 12dB
(Signal voltage reduced to 1/4)

The incoming signal power is reduced by 18dB
(Signal voltage reduced to 1/8)

• IPO

The IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function

can establish the gain of the RF amplier section

to accommodate the connected antenna and the
received signal conditions. IPO can be selected
from three operating conditions.
AMP1: One stage RF amplifier is connected.

This is a well-balanced operation of re­ceiver sensitivity and characteristics (Ap­proximately 10 dB gain).

AMP2: Two RF amplifiers are connected in se-

ries to give top priority to sensitivity (Ap­proximately 20 dB gain).

IPO: The received signal is input to the IF mix-

er without passing through the RF ampli­fier. This can greatly improve receiving,
especially in the harsh low band signal

environment.
After touching [IPO], touch the desired operating
condition.

• IPO is set independently for each operation
band.

• Normally, select “AMP1”.

• The IPO can not only attenuate the input sig-

nal but also improve the intermodulation char-

acteristics. It is most e󰀨ective to operate the
IPO rst, and then use the ATT if the signal is

still too strong. The noise level can be attenu­ated and S/N greatly improved.

• DNF (Digital NOTCH Filter)

The Digital NOTCH Filter (DNF) is an effective
beat-canceling filter that can null out a number
of interfering beat notes inside the receiver pass­band.
Because this is an Auto-Notch feature, there is no

djustment knob associated with this lter.

• AGC (Automatic Gain Control)

Displays the currently selected AGC setting.

The AGC system is designed to help compen-

sate for fading and other propagation e󰀨ects. The

AGC characteristics can be individually set for
each operating mode. The basic objective of AGC
is to maintain a constant audio output level once
a certain minimum threshold of signal strength is
achieved.
After touching [AGC], touch the desired time con­stant.

● AGC can be set for each operation band.

● The “AUTO” selection mode selects the opti-

mum receiver-recovery time for the reception
mode.

Operating Mode AUTO AGC Selection

LSB / USB / AM / AM-N SLOW

CW-L / CW-U / FM / FM-N
DATA-FM / D-FM-N

RTTY-L / RTTY-U
DATA-L / DATA-U / PSK

Normally, AGC is set to “AUTO”, which auto­matically selects the time constant according to
the received signal type, but when receiving a
weak signal or when there is noise and fading,
the AGC action may be changed according to
the reception condition at that time. Change the
time constant to make received signals most
audible

Several aspects of AGC performance may be
configured via the Menu. However, because
AGC can have such a profound impact on over­all receiver performance, we generally do not
recommend any changes to the AGC Menu se­lections until you are thoroughly familiar with the
performance of the FT-710.

In addition to the conventional two-dimensional waterfall spectrum display, Yaesu has added the 3-Dimen­sion Spectrum Stream (3DSS) color display. The constantly changing band conditions and signals are
depicted in real time and color. The frequency span is shown on the horizontal X axis, the vertical Y axis
depicts the signals and their strengths, and the time is represented on the receding Z axis. The FT-710
operator can intuitively grasp the band and signal conditions at any instant.

About TFT Displays

FT-710 utilizes a TFT liquid-crystal display.

Although TFT liquid-crystal displays are made using very precise technology, they are prone to de­velop dead pixels (dark dot) or pixels that are always on (bright dot). Please understand that such
phenomena do not constitute product defects or malfunctions. Rather, this phenomenon occurs due
to limitations in the manufacturing technology with respect to TFT liquid-crystal displays.

• Depending on the viewing angle, unevenness in color or brightness may occur. Please note that
any unevenness observed is inherent to the construction of TFT liquid crystal displays and there­fore does not constitute a product defect or malfunction.

• If your TFT liquid-crystal display becomes dirty, please use a dry soft cloth or tissue to wipe the
display clean. If it is extremely dirty, moisten it with water or lukewarm water and wipe it o󰀨 with a

soft cloth that has been wrung out tightly. Use of glass cleaner, household cleaners, organic sol­vents, alcohol, abrasives, and/or like substance may damage the TFT liquid-crystal display.

DSP interference removal functions

Pressing this knob momentarily, exchanges the SHIFT,
WIDTH, NOTCH, CONTOUR and APF.

These functions can be operated individually for VFO-A
and VFO-B, on each operating band.

1. SHIFT

IF SHIFT permits moving the Digital filter passband
higher or lower, without changing the pitch of the in­coming signal, and thus reduce or eliminate interfer­ence. Because the tuned carrier frequency is not var­ied, there is no need to re-tune the operating frequency
to eliminate the interference.
The total passband tuning range for the IF SHIFT sys­tem is ±1.2kHz.

2. WIDTH

The IF WIDTH tuning system allows you to vary the
width of the DSP IF passband, to reduce or eliminate
interference.
Moreover, the bandwidth may actually be expanded
from its default setting, should you wish to enhance in-

coming signal delity when interference on the band is

low.

3. NOTCH

The IF NOTCH lter is a highly e󰀨ective system that al­lows removing an interfering beat note or other carrier
signal from within the receiver passband.

4. CONTOUR

The Contour filter system provides a gentle pertur-

bation of the IF lter passband. The Contour is set to

either suppress, or boost specific frequency compo­nents, and thus enhances the sound and readability of
a received signal

5. APF

During CW operation, when interference or noise is
present, the center frequency is automatically set to the
PITCH frequency, making it easier to hear the desired
signal

● Adjust the AMC to a point where the COMP

Meter deection does not exceed “10dB” on the

audio peaks.

Setup is completed.

The AMC function only works in LSB, USB, AM,
AM-N, DATA-L, DATA-U and PSK modes.
It does not work in other modes.

Set with the FUNC knob

Operate the [FUNC] knob to make the following settings.

PROC LEVEL: Adjust the level of the speech processor function.
RF POWER: Adjust the transmit power.

MONI LEVEL: Adjust the monitor level.

The last function used is retained in the [FUNC] knob so it can be easily set by operating the [FUNC]
knob. Normally, it is suggested to utilize the [FUNC] knob as the [LEVEL] knob for the spectrum scope.

Speech Processor

The FT-710 Speech Processor is designed to
increase “talk power” by increasing the average
power output of the transmitted SSB signal.

The speech processor function only works
in LSB/USB mode. It does not work in other
modes.

1. Adjust the MIC gain as described on the pre­vious page.

2. Press the [FUNC] knob.

3. Touch [PROC LEVEL].

4. Touch the Meter area on the display to select
the “COMP” meter.
The transmit meter becomes the “COMP” meter.

5. Press the PTT switch on the microphone, and
speak into the microphone in a normal voice
level.

6. Adjust the [FUNC] knob to set the compres­sion level within 10 dB.

The Transmit Monitor is a helpful aid to verify

●

proper adjustment of the Compression level.

● The “PROC” indicator lights in the display.

Rotate the [FUNC] knob to the left to turn the
speech processor function “OFF”.

The speech processor can distort the transmit
waveform when used to increase the average TX
power, so it is not used in normal communication.

● Setting of maximum transmission output

The maximum transmit power can be set for each
of the HF Bands, the 50MHz band and the AM
mode. Set it according to operating conditions,
when high transmit power is not needed.

1. Press the [FUNC] knob.

2. Select [OPERATION SETTING] → [TX GEN-
ERAL].

3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to select the item
you want to set.

Turn the [FUNC] knob to adjust the RF power
output.

1. Press the [FUNC] knob.

2. Touch [RF POWER].

3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the RF
power.

When transmitting in the AM mode, set a maxi­mum (carrier) power output of 25 Watts.

3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the Monitor
level.

Transmit audio monitor is not activate in the FM,
FM-N, DATA-FM and D-FM-N modes.

● If you are using the speaker for monitoring,

instead of headphones, excessive advance­ment of the Monitor level can cause feedback
to occur. Additionally, this feedback can cause
the VOX system to hang up in a loop, making
it impossible to return to receive. Therefore,
we recommend the use of headphones, if at all
possible, or the minimum usable setting of the
Monitor level, if the speaker must be used.

4. To cancel the monitor function, turn the
[FUNC] knob to set “MONI LEVEL” to “OFF”.

● Because the Monitor feature samples the trans-

mitter IF signal, it can be very useful for check­ing the adjustment of the Speech Processor or
Parametric Equalizer on SSB, and for checking
the general signal quality on AM.

41

Parametric Microphone Equalizer

The FT-710 includes a unique Three-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer that provides precise, in­dependent control over the low, mid and treble ranges in the voice waveform. One group of settings may

be utilized when the AMC or speech processor is O󰀨, and an alternate group of settings when the AMC or

Speech Processor is On (SSB mode only). The speech processor feature is described in the next chapter.

Parametric microphone equalizer function is activated only in LSB, USB, AM, AM-N, FM and FM-N modes.

Using the Automatic Antenna Tuner

The Automatic Antenna Tuner (ATU) is built into each FT-710. The ATU is designed to ensure that a 50-

Ohm antenna impedance load is presented to the nal amplier stage of the transmitter.

• Because the FT-710 ATU is located inside transceiver, it can only adjust the impedance presented to the

transceiver end of the coaxial cable feedline. It does not “tune” the SWR at the antenna feed point itself.

When designing and building an antenna system, we recommend that every e󰀨ort be made to also ensure a

low SWR at the antenna feed point.

• The ATU in the FT-710 is designed to match impedances within the range of 16.5 Ohms to 150 Ohms, cor­responding to an SWR of 3:1 or less on the HF amateur bands (6 m amateur band: 25 Ohms to 100 Ohms,
corresponding to an SWR of 2:1 or less). Accordingly, simple non-resonant whip antennas, along with ran­dom-length wires and the “G5RV” antenna (on most bands) may not be within the impedance matching
range of the ATU.

• The built-in antenna tuner cannot be used with an antenna connector connected to an external antenna tuner.

• ATU Operation

1. Press the [TUNE] key momentarily to place
the ATU in the transmit line (no adjustment or
tuning will occur yet).
While the ATU function is activated, the
“TUNE” will be displayed.

● The momentary press of the [TUNE] key

will turn the tuner ON, and the microproces­sor will automatically select the tuning point
closest to the current operating frequency.

2. Press and hold the [TUNE] key to begin auto­matic tuning.

● The transmitter will be engaged, and

“TUNE” will be displayed while tuning is in
progress.

● Always listen on the operating frequency

before beginning the tuning process, to be
sure tuning will not interfere with others who
may already be using the frequency.

● When the optimum tuning point has been

achieved, the transceiver will return to re­ceive.

3. To disengage the ATU from the transmit line,
press the [TUNE] key momentarily.

About ATU Memories

SWR (After tuning) Less than 2:1

The tuner settings are stored in the ATU
memory.

SWR (After tuning) Greater than 2:1

Tuning data will not be retained in mem­ory. If operation is returned to the same
frequency, the tuning process must be re­peated.

SWR (After tuning) Greater than 3:1

The “HI-SWR” icon will light up, and the
tuner settings, if achieved, will not be mem­orized. Investigate the high SWR condition
and resolve the problem before attempting
further operation using this antenna.

The ATU microprocessor memories store the
record of the capacitors and inductors select­ed to tune each 10kHz window in which tuning
has occurred. This eliminates the need to re­tune every time operation returns to a frequency
on which the tuning process has already been
completed.

48

CW Mode Operation

The impressive CW operating capabilities of the
FT-710 permit operating with an Electronic Keyer
Paddle, a “Straight Key”, or a computer based
keying device.

1. Before starting, connect the key cable to the
rear panel KEY jack.

2. Set the operating mode to CW-U.
The normal “CW” mode utilizes USB-side car­rier injection.

3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select
the desired operating frequency.

4. Press the [FUNC] knob.

• CW Delay Time Setting

During semi-break-in (not QSK) operation, the
hang time of TX, after the transmitting ends may
be adjusted to a comfortable value corresponding
with the sending speed.

1. Press the [FUNC] knob, then touch [BK-DELAY].

2. Start sending and rotate the [FUNC] knob to
adjust the hang time for comfortable opera­tion.

3. Approximately 1 second after selection, the
settings are saved and the normal operation
screen returns.

CW Spotting (Zero-Beating)

“Spotting” (zeroing in on another CW station) is
a handy technique to ensure the transceiver and
the other station are operating precisely on the
same frequency.

The Tuning Offset Indicator in the display may
also be moved to adjust the receiver frequency to
center on the incoming station with the CW pitch
corresponding to that of the transmit signal.

5. Touch [BK-IN] to turn ON the BK-IN function.

6. Touch [MONI LEVEL] and then turn the
[FUNC] knob to adjust the volume of the mon­itor.

7. When using the keyer paddle, press the
[FUNC] knob and then touch [KEYER] to turn
ON the Electronic Keyer.

8. When the key or the keyer paddle is pressed,
the transmitter will automatically be engaged.

● Press [FUNC], then touch [CW SPEED],

and rotate the [FUNC] knob to set the de­sired sending speed.

● As shipped from the factory, the FT-710

CW TX/RX is congured for “Semibreak-in”

operation. However, using Menu item “CW
BK-IN TYPE”

VFO and Memory Scanning

Either the VFO or the memory channels of the FT-710 may be scanned, and the receiver will halt scan­ning on any frequency with a signal strong enough to open the receiver squelch.
In the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the decimal points in the frequency display area will blink
and the scanner will slow down (but does not stop).

VFO/Memory Scan

1. Set the frequency or Memory channel at
which scanning is to begin.

2. Rotate the [RF GAIN/SQL] knob so that the
background noise is just silenced (page

37).

3. Pressing and holding the UP or DWN key on
the microphone will start the scanning.

● If the scanner halts on an incoming signal,

the decimal point between the “MHz” and
“kHz” digits of the frequency display will
blink.

● The operation when a signal is received

during scanning varies depending on the
mode type.

Other than

LSB, USB

CW-L, CW-U

Scanning will pause.

To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or
press any key on the front panel of the transceiv­er.
If the microphone PTT button is pressed during
scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However,
pressing the PTT button while scanning will not
cause transmission.

● If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to

prohibit the microphone UP/DWN buttons from
initiating scanning, you may disable scanning
control from the microphone using Menu item

[OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] →

[MIC SCAN].

● During Memory Group operation, only the

channels within the current Memory Group will
be scanned.

● The manner in which the scanner resumes af­ter it has paused on a signal may be selected
by using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING]

→ [GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN RESUME].

The default “TIME” (5 sec) setting will cause
the scanner to resume scanning after five
seconds; however the scan setting may be
changed to resume only after the received sig­nal has dropped out.

LSB, USB

● If the scan has paused on a signal, press­ing the microphone UP or DWN button will
cause scanning to resume instantly.

● If the Main Tuning Dial knob is rotated while

scanning is in progress, the VFO scanning
or memory channel scanning will continue
up or down in accordance with the direction
of the Dial Knob rotation. (In other words, if
the dial is rotated to the left when scanning
toward a higher frequency or memory chan­nel number, the direction of the scan will
reverse.)

Scanning speed will be
slower, but scanning will
not be paused.

Programmable Memory Scan (PMS)

To limit scanning (and manual tuning) to a particular frequency range, the Programmable Memory Scan­ning (PMS) feature utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“M-P1L/M-P1U through M-P9L/ M-P9U).
The PMS feature is especially useful in helping to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to
your Amateur license class.

First: store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning
limit frequencies into the memory pair “M-P1L”
and “M-P1U”, respectively (or any other “L/U” pair
of special PMS memories).

1. Recall the memory channel “M-P1L”.

2. Rotate the [RF GAIN/SQL] knob so that the
background noise is just silenced (page

37).

3. Turn the Main Dial knob slightly (to activate
memory tuning).
The Memory Channel “M-P1L” will be re­placed by “PMS”.

4. Pressing and holding the UP or DWN key on
the microphone to start PMS.

● Scanning is only between frequencies

stored in M-P1L and M-P1U.

● The operation when a signal is received

during scanning varies depending on the
mode type.

● If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to

prohibit the microphone UP/DWN buttons from
initiating scanning, you may disable scanning
control from the microphone using Menu item

[OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] →

[MIC SCAN].

● The manner in which the scanner resumes after

it has paused on a signal may be selected by

using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING] →
[GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN RESUME].

The default “TIME” (5 sec) setting will cause the

scanner to resume scanning after ve seconds;

however the scan setting may be changed
to resume only after the received signal has
dropped out.

Other than

● If the scan has paused on a signal, press-

ing the microphone UP or DWN button will

● If the Main Tuning Dial knob is rotated while

scanning is in progress, the scanning will
continue up or down in frequency according
to the direction of the Dial Knob rotation. (In
other words, if the dial is rotated to the left
when scanning toward a higher frequency
or memory channel number, the direction of
the scan will reverse.)

To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or
press any key on the front panel of the transceiver.
If the microphone PTT button is pressed during
scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However,
pressing the PTT button while scanning will not
cause transmission.

Scanning will pause.

Band Stack Operation

The FT-710 employs a triple band-stack VFO se­lection technique that permits storing up to three
favorite frequencies and modes onto each band
VFO register.

A typical setup, for the 14MHz band, might be ar­ranged like this:

1. Program 14.0250 MHz, CW-U Mode, then
press the [BAND] key then touch [14].

2. Program 14.0800 MHz, RTTY-L Mode, then
press the [BAND] key then touch [14].

3. Program 14.1950 MHz, USB Mode, then
press the [BAND] key then touch [14].

With this configuration, successive momentary
presses of the [BAND] key and then touching
[14] will step sequentially through the three Band
