How are the RIT and XIT controls used and what are the LEDs for?
When RIT is ON, it is applied to the VFO A display. You can also see the amount of offset as you turn the RIT control (+/- 9.99, shown on the VFO B display). You can check the amount of offset without adjusting the control by holding the DISP OFS switch (below XIT). RIT steps can be set to 1 Hz, 10 Hz, or 50 Hz by holding the RATE switch (below RIT). If you have RIT or XIT ON, and the offset control is not set at dead center, the yellow LEDs will tell you whether you have a negative or positive offset. When RIT and XIT are both off, the offset control advances VFO A in large steps, defined by the operator on a per-mode basis (e.g. 2.5 kHz for SSB, 5/9/10 kHz for AM, etc.).
When RIT is ON, it is applied to the VFO A display. You can also see the amount of offset as you turn the RIT control (+/- 9.99, shown on the VFO B display). You can check the amount of offset without adjusting the control by tapping the DISP button and scrolling to the RIT offset (0.00). The CLR button will clear any offset to zero without turning RIT off. If you have an offset dialed in and turn RIT off and then on again the offset will remain unless set to zero with CLR. If you have RIT or XIT ON, and the offset control is not set at dead center, the yellow LEDs will tell you whether you have a negative or positive offset.
