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
NAV
or
COM
bands
in 25-kHz steps using the
DIAL
selector, the Key-
pad, or the scanner.
¦
MR
(Memory Recall)
The MR (Memory Re-
call) mode of the
VXA-
210
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 26
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
COM
and
NAV
band station frequen-
cies used in your area. The Book memories can
be changed by the user. See page 39 for details.
¦
WX
(Weather Channel) Memories
(USA version only)
Ten Weather Channels
are pre-programmed at
the factory. The
VXA-
210
will automatically scan this special bank
when it is selected by the user.
