VX-3R OPERATING MANUAL 21
CHANGING THE CHANNEL STEPS
The VX-3Rs frequency synthesizer provides the option of utilizing channel steps of 5/8.33/9/
10/12.5/15/20/25/50/100 kHz per step (optional values differ depending on the band selected).
A number of steps may be important to your operating requirements. Automatic (“AUTO”)
step selection is based on the current operating frequency. The VX-3R is set up at the factory
in the “AUTO” configuration, which probably is satisfactory for most operation. However, if
you need to change the channel step increments, the procedure to do so is very easy.
1. Press and hold in the
[
TXPO
]
key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 82:
STEPSTEP
STEPSTEP
STEP.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL
knob.
3. Press the
[
TXPO
]
key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the new channel step size.
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to
save the new setting and return to normal operation.
1) 9 kHz steps are available only when receiving on the BC band.
2) 8.33 kHz steps are available only when receiving on the Air band.
3) While operating on the BC band, you may only select channel steps of 9
kHz or 10 kHz; the other step selections are disabled.
4) 5 kHz steps are not available for use on 250 - 300 MHz, nor above 580 MHz.
CHANGING THE RECEIVING MODE
The VX-3R provides for automatic mode changing when the
radio is tuned to different operating frequencies. However, should
an unusual receiving situation arise in which you need to change
to a different receiving mode, just press the
[
MODE
]
key. The
receiving modes available are:
AUTOAUTO
AUTOAUTO
AUTO: Automatic mode sets the default values for the se-
lected frequency range.
FMFM
FMFM
FM: Narrow-bandwidth FM (used for voice communication)
AMAM
AMAM
AM: Amplitude Modulation
W-FMW-FM
W-FMW-FM
W-FM: Wide-bandwidth FM (used for high-fidelity broadcasting)
Unless you have a compelling reason to do so, leave the Automatic Mode
Selection feature on, this will save time and trouble when changing bands. If
you make a mode change for a particular channel or station, you can always
store that one channel into memory, as the mode setting will be memorized along with
the frequency information.
