BAND A & B
In this manual, the band recalled at the left on the
display is referred to as band A, and the band at the right
is called band B. In band A you can recall a 144 MHz
band (default) or a 440 MHz sub-band. In band B you
can recall a 440 MHz band (default) or a 144 MHz sub-
band. You can also recall a 118 MHz, 220 MHz, or 300
MHz sub-band in band A, and a 300 MHz or 1.2 GHz in
band B. This transceiver is capable of simultaneously
receiving on bands A and B.
Press the left or right [BAND SEL] to select band A or B.
To recall the sub-band, press [F], then the same [BAND
SEL]. The following diagram shows how the bands are
switched on a TM-V708A.
Note:
You cannot recall a sub-band in Memory Recall mode. First press
[VFO] to select VFO mode.
You cannot recall the UHF sub-band in band A and the VHF sub-
band in band B at the same time.
The 118 MHz, 220 MHz, 300 MHz, or 1.2 GHz band cannot be
use for transmitting.
For the range of each band, see “SPECIFICATIONS” {page 83}.
TX BAND AND CONTROL BAND
One thing that may confuse you on this transceiver is the
idea of the TX band and Control band. To avoid
confusion, please note the differences between the TX
band and the Control band, below.
TX Band
Press the left [BAND SEL] (band A) or the right [BAND
SEL] (band B) to select. On the display, “PTT” shows
which band (A or B) is currently selected as the transmit
(TX) band. You can use the TX band to transmit signals
or to control the transceiver.
Control Band
Press [CTRL] to select. On the display, “Ctrl” shows
which band (A or B) is currently selected as the Control
band. Use this function when you want to control the
band which is not currently set as the TX band. After
selecting the Control band, you cannot control the TX
band.
