procedure, if desired.
3. Press the [V/M] key once more. The data will now have been copied to the VFO, although the original
memory contents will remain intact on the previously-stored channel.
R.F. Says: If a Split Frequency Memory channel was transferred, the Tx frequency will be ignored (you will
be set up for Simplex operation on the Receive frequency).
Memory Only Mode
Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a “Memory Only”
mode, whereby VFO operation is impossible. This may be particularly useful during public-service events,
where a number of operators may be using the radio for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel
selection is desired.
To place the radio into the Memory Only mode, turn the radio off. Now press and hold in the [V/M] key while
turning the radio on. To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on procedure.
Special Memory Channel Operation
The VX-3R provides Special Memory Channels, which made up of:
10 “Weather Broadcast” Channels.
281 VHF Marine Channels
89 popular Short-wave Broadcast Station Memory Channels.
R.F. Says: You may assign a Weather Broadcast channel to a Memory Bank. See page ?? regarding
Memory Bank Operation for details.
Weather Broadcast Channels
The VHF Weather Broadcast Station Memory Channel Bank has been pre-programmed at the factory, for
quick selection of NOAA weather information stations.
1. Press the [F/W] key, then press the [%] key, to recall the Special Memory Menu.
2. Press the [BAND] key, repeatedly if necessary to select the “WX CH” (thus recalling the Weather
Broadcast Memory Bank).
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired Weather Broadcast channel.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
4.
If you wish to scan this bank to search for louder stations, just press the PTT switch. When the scanner
pauses on a station, press the PTT switch once to halt the scan, or press it twice to restart the scan.
5. To exit to normal operation, press the [V/M] key, or press [F/W] key followed by the [%] key.
