How to Skip (Omit) a Frequency During VFO Search
If the VFO search 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 Search
scanning. This is accomplished by storing these frequencies in a special "Frequency Skip
Memory Bank" reserved for this purpose.
To skip a frequency during VFO Search scanning:
1.
Press and hold in the [
FUNC
] key; while holding it in, press the [
SCAN
] key momen-
tarily to activate the "Set"(Menu) mode.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Menu #13 [MEMORY].
3.
Press and hold in the [
FUNC
] key; while holding it in, rotate the
DIAL
knob to select
"SKIP" (the VFO Skip mode).
4.
Press and hold in the [
FUNC
] key; while holding it in, press the [
SCAN
] key momen-
tarily to exit to the VFO mode.
5.
Press the [
SCAN
] key to initiate scanning.
6.
When VFO Search is stops on a frequency that you do not
need, press the [
V/M
] key momentarily while pressing the
[
FUNC
] key. The display will indicate " WRITE" as a re-
quest for command confirmation (see next step).
7.
Now, press the [
V/M
] key momentarily while pressing the [
FUNC
] key again to store
the frequency into the VFO Frequency Skip Memory (VFO Frequency Skip Memory
Write); henceforth, it will be ignored during VFO search.
8.
When you have stored all the frequencies you wish to be skipped during VFO Search
scanning, return the setting of Menu #13 to "VFO" instead of "SKIP."
Note that the
VR-120D
has 64 VFO Frequency Skip Memory Channels (channels num-
bered 00 ~ 63. If your radio seems to have only 64 memories, you need to re-set Menu #13
to the "VFO" option.
To re-institute a frequency into the VFO search loop:
1.
Press and hold in the [
FUNC
] key; while holding it in, press the [
SCAN
] key to
activate the "Set"(Menu) mode.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Menu #13 [MEMORY].
3.
Press and hold in the [
FUNC
] key; while holding it in, rotate the
DIAL
knob to select
"SKIP" (the VFO Skip mode).
4.
Press and hold in the [
FUNC
] key; while holding it in, press the [
SCAN
] key momen-
tarily to exit to the VFO mode.
5.
Press the [
V/M
] key, repeatedly if necessary, to recall the VFO Frequency Skip Memory
mode (an arrow plus the memory register number of the skipped frequency will appear
at the left side of the display).
6.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the channel to be re-instituted.
