VX-3R Operating Manual
Selecting the Operating Band
The VX-3R covers an incredibly wide frequency range, over which a number of different operating modes
are used. Therefore, the VX-3R’s frequency coverage has been divided into different operating bands, each
of which has its own pre-set channel steps and operating modes. You can change the channel steps and
operating modes later, if you like (see page ??).

band each time you press the [BAND] key.
Indicates a Band Number according with the receiving frequency in the Memory Channel Number
Display Slot of the display.
2. If you wish to move the operating band selection downward (toward lower frequencies), press the
[F/W] key first, then press the [BAND] key.
3. Once you have selected the desired band, you may initiate manual tuning (or scanning) per the
discussion in the next chapter.
R.F. Says: 1) The VX-3R has an AM broadcasting band and an FM broadcast band with these bands and
can receive it independently. See page ?? for details.
2) You may skip (omit) the several bands from the band selection loop for fast recalling the operating band,
if you desired. See page ?? for details.
Frequency Navigation
The VX-3R will initially be operating in the “VFO” mode, a channelized system which allows free tuning
