Vertex Standard VX-8R ユーザーズマニュアル

 (O

) 

If the VFO scan stops on a frequency or frequencies that you do not need (such as a
spurious radiation from a television), such frequencies can be “skipped” during VFO scan-
ning. A special “Frequency Skip Memory” bank is reserved to store these frequencies.

To skip a frequency during VFO scanning:
1. While VFO scanning is stopped on the frequency that you do not need, press and hold

the 

 key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired Fre-

quency Skip Memory channel (900

 - 999

). The microprocessor will automatically

select the next-available “free” Frequency Skip Memory channel (a memory register
on which no data has been stored). If you see the “ ” icon at the upper left of the
channel number, it means that the channel currently has no data written on it (i.e. the
channel is “free”).

2. Press the 

 key to store the frequency into the Frequency Skip Memory. It will now

be ignored during VFO scanning.

To re-institute a frequency into the VFO scan loop:
1. Press the 

 key, if needed, to enter the Memory Recall (“MR”) mode.

2. Press and hold in the 

 key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the

memory channel to be re-instituted.

3. Press the 

 key to delete the channel from the Frequency Skip Memory; this will

restore the frequency into the VFO scan loop.

The VX-8R allows adjustment of the Squelch level “on the fly” while you are
scanning.

1. While the scanner is engaged, press the 

 key,

then press the 

 key (the current squelch level

will appear below the frequency display).

2. Rotate the DIAL to select the desired Squelch

level.

3. Press the PTT switch briefly to save the new setting and exit to normal op-

eration. In this case, pressing the PTT switch this one time will not causing
scanning to stop.
