VX-8DR/DE OPERATING MANUAL16
OPERATION
SELECTING THE FREQUENCY BAND
The VX-8DR/DE covers an incredibly wide frequency range, over which a number of
different operating modes are used. Therefore, the VX-8DR/DEs frequency coverage has
been divided into different
operating bands. Each
band has its own preset
channel steps and operat-
ing modes. You can
change the channel steps
and operating modes later,
if you like (see page 29).
TO CHANGE OPERATING BANDS
1. Press the key repeatedly. You will see the LCD
indication change to a higher frequency band each time
you press the key. A Band Number according to
the receiving frequency is also displayed.
2. If you wish to move the operating band selection down-
ward (toward lower frequencies), press the key
first, then press the key.
3. The VX-8DR uses a dual VFO system (described pre-
viously). To switch TX/RX operation from the “VFO-A” to the “VFO-B” instantly,
press the key briefly. Pressing the key will return TX/RX operation to
“VFO-A”. The frequency band shown in “Large” characters is the band on which
transmission is possible; the band shown in “Small” characters may only be used for
reception.
4. Once you have selected the desired band, you may initiate manual tuning (or scan-
ning). See the discussions on the next page.
1) SW Band and Information Band reception is only possible on the “VFO-A”.
2) The VX-8DR/DE has an AM/FM Broadcast band radio. You can receive
these bands independently. See page 22 for details.
3) If desired, you may omit (skip) one or more bands from the band selection loop for
faster recall of your favorite operating bands. See page 132 for details.
