You may wish to append an alpha-numeric “Tag” (label) to a memory or memories, to aid
in recollection of the channel’s use (such as a club name, etc.). This is easily accomplished
using the Set Mode.
1. Recall the memory channel on which you wish to append a label.
2. Press the [
F
] key, then press the [
0
(
SET
)] key to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select Set Mode Item 29: NM WRT NM WRT
NM WRT NM WRT
NM WRT .
4. Press the [
F
] key momentarily to display the previously
stored label (if any).
5. Press the [ F
] key again to clear any previous label.
6. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the first digit of the desired
label.
7. Press the [ F
] key to move to the next character.
8. If you make a mistake, press the [
T
(
MHz
)] key to back-
space the cursor, then re-enter the correct letter, number,
or symbol.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 7 to program the remaining letters,
numbers, or symbols of the desired label. A total of six charac-
ters may be used in the creation of a label.
10. When you have programmed a label which is under 6 characters,
press and hold in the [
F
] key for one second to confirm the label (if the label is exactly 6
characters in length, you do not need to press and hold in [
F
] key).
11. When you have completed the creation of the label, press the
PTT
switch to save the label and return to the memory recall
mode with labeled (alpha-numeric “Tag”) display.
To disable the alpha-numeric Tag (enabling the frequency display):
1. Set the
VX-170
to the “MR” (Memory Recall) mode, and recall the memory channel
on which you wish to disable the alpha-numeric Tag.
2. Press the [ F

alpha-numeric Tag.

knob to select “
