Shortcuts
The ubitx v6 has a few shortcuts:
- If you tap on the tuning control, you can move the focus on the screen from one box to another. Tapping the tuning control again will simulate pressing that button.
- If you tap on one of the VFOs, Fast tuning gets enabled where each step of the tuning encoder results in a jump of 50 KHz. Use this method for quickly getting from one frequency to another.
- The radio switches automatically to LSB when operating below 10 MHz.
- To operate CW, the setup menu allows you to chose between Iambic A, Iambic B and a straight (hand) key.
