VFO -- Variable Frequency Oscillator.

Easy explanation -- like the tuning dial on a basic Am or FM radio.

When you are in the VFO mode, the main tuning dial is rotated to the desired
frequency or to tune in a station.

Old style VFO's were continuous tuning. Analog

New Digital types like your R75 -- are in selectable discrete steps i.e.,
from as low as 1 Hertz -- up to 100 kHz see -- page 12 and 13 of the ICOM
Manual. Also a 1 MHz "Quick Tuning" increment can be used for fast tuning.

The instruction manual that comes with my brand new R75 talks about memory
and
VFO. I understand memory, but what is VFO?
