I flicked to lsb and the display was bf868, which I adjusted down to 845 to get the radio on frequency. If I had needed to go lower to get my rig on, I wouldn't have been able to, so it is very lucky for me, that the lowest number setting (130) was just enough to put my radio on frequency. The annoying thing though was - the 3-digit number only adjusts as low as 130 !!! The clarifier moves the last digit, and the channel change moves the middle digit. My rig showed bf 168, and to get it bang on freq on 27.55500 on the display, I had to adjust the bf168 to bf130. If your radio is like mine, and is low ie showing 27.55480 when its bang on 27.55500, then you need to adjust the 3-digit number down.
The display should show bf xxx (xxx being a 3-digit number). Release the function button and then press the next three buttons along (rb, nb, dw) one at a time in quick succession. To access the menu, turn the radio off, then hold the function button in and turn the radio on. I decided tonight, with the help of 5 friends, to try and get my dx5000 to display bang on frequencey instead of 27.554-80 (when it was supposed to be 27.555-00 for example) by using the secret menu.įirst, get the radio on the band you want to adjust (I did usb 1st), then :
Now all it needs is 12M and it's a winner!! Yes, apparently it is available now, in the U.S.!!!

I have a few of them here if anybody wants to try them early. It is an interesting radio.as a radio it doesn't do anything particularly well or badly. but I should comment that the receive is very very good. However it does have an agc problem and it does distort with strong signals till the rf gain is reduced. You can program it yourself with the US$15 additional USB cable. The manufacturing is very good and it is stable on SSB.
Runs a cool 22w from the twin IRf520 finals. I reprogrammed the free band and most of 10m in 5khz steps which suits the way I operate. It has some strange traits.UP/down on the mic is always good.
