LSB/ USB/ CW/ AM/ FM/ WFM
To select the receiving mode for the B-band:
1 Press [VFO].
2 Press [A/B] to select the B-band.
3 Press [BAND], then turn the Tuning control or
press [ ]/ [ ] to select the desired frequency.
4 Press [F], [BAND] repeatedly until you select the
desired receiving mode. The mode icon cycles
from FM
➞

➞
CW,
and then goes back to FM.
Note:
◆
“FMN” appears in place of “FM” when you select “ON” for the
Menu No. 29 (FM NARROW) {page 39}.
◆
Select “WFM” when you receive the audio signal of the
broadcasting stations, such as FM or TV stations.
◆
If the Fine Tuning function is ON {page 35}, you cannot select FM
mode (FM/ NFM/ WFM). To select FM mode, turn the Fine
Tuning function OFF.
BAR ANTENNA
Although the supplied wide-band helical antenna is
used for receiving B-band frequencies, due to the
size and length limitation, it may not be suitable for
low HF band (below 10.1 MHz) reception. The
transceiver features a built-in bar antenna for the
reception frequency below 10.1 MHz. The
transceiver automatically switches to the bar antenna
when you select a frequency below 10.1 MHz for the
B-band. However, you can connect an external
antenna to the antenna connector instead.
To disable the built-in bar antenna below 10.1 MHz:
1 Press [MNU].
2 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select
Menu No. 26 (BAR ANT).
3 Press [ ] or [MNU].
4 Turn the Tuning control or press [ ]/ [ ] to select
“DISABLED”.
5 Press [ ] or [MNU] to store the setting.
Note: The bar antenna is embedded in the base of the transceiver,
horizontally. The antenna has the same characteristics as a dipole
antenna. If the target station’s signal is weak, rotate the transceiver
to find the best receiving position.

■ B-band Frequency Coverage (TH-F7E)
Note: By default, the Fine Tuning function is activated automatically
for 1.71 MHz ~ 29.7 MHz.
