TEPS
The
VX-2R
’s synthesizer provides the option of utilizing channel steps of 5/9/10/12.5/15/
20/25/50/100 kHz per step, as well as an automatic step selection based on the current
operating frequency (“AUTO”), any number of which may be important to your operating
requirements. The
VX-2R
is set up at the factory in the “AUTO” configulation, which
probably is satisfactory for most operation. However, if you need to change the channel
step increments, the procedure to do so is very easy.
