Tuning Methods
Throughout this manual, you will see references to
several different frequency setting methods. Each will
be particularly useful in a particular operating situa-
tion, and they are described below:
¦
VFO
(Variable Frequency Oscillator)
The VFO is a “tuning
dial” system which al-
lows you to tune through
the
N A V
or
C O M
bands
in 25-kHz steps using the
CHANNEL
selector,
the Keypad, or the scanner.
¦
MR
(Memory Recall)
The MR (Memory Re-
call) mode of the
VXA-
200
provides the user
with the ability to store
and recall as many as 50 channels in the radio’s
main memory bank. These memory channels may
also be labeled by you with an alpha/numeric
name of up to 8 characters in length, to aid in
quick identification of the channel. See page 20
for details on creating alpha/numeric labels.
¦
BOOK
(Pre-Programmed) Memories
The Book memories are
pre-programmed, either at
the factory or by your
Dealer (depending on
your country’s requirements), typically including
the major
C O M
and
N A V
band station frequen-
cies used in your area. The Book memories can
be changed by the user. See page 27 for details.
¦
WX
(Weather Channel) Memories
(USA version only)
Ten Weather Channels
are pre-programmed at
the factory as appropriate
for your country, and the
VXA-200
will auto-
matically scan this special bank when it is se-
lected by the user.
