VX-3R Operating Manual
this:
1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [V/M] key, if necessary.
2. Using the techniques learned earlier, store (per the above concept) 144.300 MHz into Memory
Channel #L1 (the “L” designates the Lower sub-band limit).
3. Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1 (the “U” designates the Upper sub-band limit).
4. Switch to the Memory mode by pressing the [V/M] key once, then rotate the DIAL to select Memory
Channel # L1.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
5.
Press the [F/W] key, then press the [V/M] key to start PMS operation; the Memory Channel number will
be replaced by “P 1.” Tuning and scanning (engaged by pressing and holding in the [BAND] key for
one second) will now be limited within the just-programmed range.
6. 50 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1/U1 through L50/U50 are available. You therefore can set
upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you like.
Priority Channel Scanning (Dual Watch)
The VX-3R’s scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows you to operate on a
VFO or Memory channel, while periodically checking a user-defined Memory Channel for activity. If a
station is received on the Memory Channel which is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will
pause on that station in accordance with the Scan-Resume mode set via Set Mode Item 75: SCN.RSM.
See page ??.
Here is the procedure for activating Priority Channel Dual Watch operation:
1. Press the [V/M] key momentarily to enter the Memory Recall mode, if you are not using memories
already.
2. Press and hold in the [F/W] key for one second, then rotate DIAL knob to select the memory channel
you wish to be the “Priority” channel.
3.
Press the [BAND] key. The “PRI” icon will appear at the above of the volume level indicator, indicating it
is the Priority channel.
4. Now set the VX-3R for operation on another memory channel, or on a VFO frequency.
5.
Press and hold in the [V/M] key for one second. The display will remain on the VFO or memory channel
selected; however, the “DW” icon will appear on the display, and every five seconds the VX-3R will
check the Priority Channel for activity. If a station appears on the Priority Channel, the radio will pause
on that channel, as described previously.
R.F. Says: The receiving time interval (ratio) between the current channel (or VFO frequency) and Priority
channel may be customized via Set Mote Item 65: PRI.TMR.
