In many areas of the world, channel congestion has required that operating channels be
closely spaced. In such operating environments, it often is required that operators use
reduced deviation levels, so as to reduce the potential for interference to users on adjacent
channels. The
VX-2R
includes a simple method of accomplishing this:
1.
Press and hold in the [
H/L
] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the Set Mode Item 21:
HLFDEV
.
3.
Press the [
H/L
] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to set this Set Mode Item to “
ON
.” In this configuration (HALF
DEVIATION active), the transmitter’s deviation will be approximately ±2.5 kHz.
5.
When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
key to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
The “normal” setting for the deviation (when this Menu Item is set to OFF)
is ±5 kHz.
