VX-3R Operating Manual
Regular Memory Channel Operation
Memory Storage
1. Select the desired frequency, while operating in the VFO mode. Be sure to set up any desired CTCSS
or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset. The power level may also be set at this time, if
you wish to store it.
2. Press and hold in the [F/W] key for 1/2 seconds.
3. Within five seconds of releasing the [F/W] key, you need to make a decision regarding channel storage.
The microprocessor will automatically select the next-available “free” channel (a memory register on
which no data has been stored), so you may not wish to make any change; if this is the case, proceed
to step 4. If you wish to select a different channel number into which to store the data, rotate the DIAL
knob to select the desired memory channel.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
You may jump 100 memory channels, if you’re in a hurry (101
201
301 …), by pressing the
[TXPO] key (multiple times, if necessary). Any channel that you see with a blinking channel number
currently has no data written on it (i.e. the channel is “free”).
4. Press the [F/W] key once more to store the frequency into memory.
5. You still will be operating in the “VFO” mode, so you may now enter other frequencies, and store them
into additional memory locations, by repeating the above process.
R.F. Says: 1) You may change the automatic memory channel selection feature to select the “next-highest
memory channel above the
last-stored
memory channel” instead of the “next-available ‘free’ channel” via
the Set Mode Item 50: MW WMD; see page ??.
2) You may disable the memory write function which to prevent memory write by wrong operation via the
Set Mode Item 53: MRPTCT. See page ?? for details. When the memory write protect is activated,
“PROTCT” notation appear on the display while memory write operation.
Important Note: On rare occasions the memorized data may become corrupted by miss operation, or static
electricity. When repairs are made the memory data may be lost. Please write down or record the
memorized information so you will be able to restore it if needed.
Storing Independent Transmit Frequencies (“Odd Splits”)
All memories can store an independent transmit frequency, for operation on repeaters with non-standard
shift. To do this:
1. Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORY STORAGE (it
doesn’t matter if a repeater offset is active).
2. Turn to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold in the [F/W] key for 1/2 seconds.
3. Within five seconds of releasing the [F/W] key, rotate the DIAL knob to select the same memory
channel number as used in step “1” above.
