Programming the Channel Data
The
VX-131/-132
transceiver allows you to change the channel frequency and its CTCSS/DCS status. Also, you may select
the channel bandwidth (wide/narrow) of all VHF frequencies and some UHF frequencies (see the channel table).
Programming the Operation Frequency
Turn the radio on while
pressing and holding
in the
PTT
and
MONITOR
buttons.
Hold in the
PTT
and
MONITOR
buttons until the LED
indicator glows
orange
(approx. 3 seconds), then re-
lease the
PTT
and
MONITOR
buttons.
If your radio is the
VX-132
(two channel model), toggle
the
CH
switch to the channel (“
1
” or “
2
”) on which
you want to program the new channel frequency.
Press the
MONITOR
button
momentarily
; the LED in-
dicator will change to
red
and the radio will emit a
“channel confirmation beep” that describes the cur-
rent channel programming, according to the follow-
ing rule.
If the channel programming process fails, the radio
will emit an alert tone (beep-beep-beep:
).
You may check the channel number by pressing the
MONITOR
button. The radio will respond with the
channel programming confirmation beeps according
to the chart at the beginning of this section.
Programming the CTCSS/DCS/ARTS Status
Turn the radio on while
pressing and holding
in the
PTT
and
MONITOR
buttons.
Hold in the
PTT
and
MONITOR
buttons until the LED
indicator glows
orange
(approx. 3 seconds), then re-
lease the
PTT
and
MONITOR
buttons.
If your radio is the
VX-132
(two channel model), toggle
the
CH
switch to the desired channel (“
1
” or “
2
”) on
which you want to program the CTCSS/DCS tone or
ARTS Operation.
Press and hold in the
MONITOR
button for
2 seconds
;
the LED indicator will change to
green
, and the radio
will emit a CTCSS/DCS/ARTS status confirmation
beep that describes the current CTCSS/DCS/ARTS sta-
tus, according to the following rule (see also the
CTCSS/DCS/ARTS Chart):

Press the
PTT
button once each for each quantity of
“ten” in the channel number (i.e. press
PTT
three times
for channel 3n); when finished entering the “tens”
place, a confirmation beep will be heard. Immediately
after the confirmation beep, press the
PTT
button once
each to complete the “ones” in the channel number
(i.e. press
PTT
twice for channel 32, after receiving
the first confirmation beep). Now press the
PTT
but-
ton once or twice, corresponding to the bandwidth
(once for “Narrow” or twice for “Wide”). When entry
is complete, the radio will emit a confirmation beep.
In this programming sequence, if you wish to enter
the number “0,” press and hold in the
PTT
button until
the channel confirmation beep (long tone) is heard. If
the channel is a “Narrow-only” channel (such as UHF
channel “03”), you do not need to enter the bandwidth.

Press the

button once each for each quantity of
100 in the CTCSS/DCS/ARTS status code, per the
CTCSS/DCS/ARTS Chart; as before, when entry is
completed for the “100s” place, the radio will emit a
confirmation beep. Now press the
PTT
button once
each for each quantity of tens in the CTCSS/DCS/ARTS
status code number, get the confirmation beep, then
press the
PTT
button once each to set the “ones” place,
after which the final confirmation beep will be heard.
In this entry sequence, to enter the number “0,” press
and hold in the
PTT
button until the channel confir-
mation beep (long tone) is heard.
