QMB Marker FT DX 9000MP/CONTEST DATA MANAGEMENT OPERATION MANUAL Page 17 SPECTRUM SCOPE USING THE LBWS (LIMITED BAND WIDTH SWEEP) FUNCTION LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) is a function that sweeps a limited segment of the Spectrum Scope span without changing the span (bandwidth). As the sweep segment becomes narrower, the speed becomes faster, and the accuracy and resolution become enhanced. The sweep speed will increase as follows: 50 %: about 2 times faster, 30 %: about 3 times faster, 10 %: about 10 times faster 1. By pressing the [7/18](CTR/FIX) key repeatedly, the CTR mode and the FIX mode will be toggled alternately. By pressing the [2/3. 5](SPAN) key, you can set the bandwidth of the span viewed using the Spectrum Scope. By pressing the [3/5](ATT) key, the attenuation will change as follows. By pressing the [6/14](LBWS) key, the LBWS segment width will change as follows. Press the [4/7](A/B) key to select the Main (VFOA) or Sub (VFO-B) VFO. Advice:Please note that the LBWS feature can not be used in the FIX mode. While LBWS is engaged, it is not possible to switch to the dual display mode. In the case of the Contest version, the [RX] switch to the left of the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob will, when pushed, cause both the VFO itself and the Spectrum Scope display to change to VFO-B. Additionally, when the optional RXU-9000 Dual Receive Unit is installed, you may use the [4/7](A/B) key to make this change, just like on the MP version.

The starting point, located at the left edge of the screen, can be set via the Menu. Even if the screen span (bandwidth) is changed, the start frequency will not be changed. By watching the screen, you can move your operation to frequencies where interesting activity appears on the display.
