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-3R/E
includes a simple method of accomplishing this:
1. Press and hold in the [ TXPO
] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item 35:
HLF.DEV
.
Note : Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL
knob.
3. Press the [
TXPO
] 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 de-
viation will be approximately ±2.5 kHz.
5. When you have made your selection, press the
PTT
switch 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.
