How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory Scan Operation
As mentioned previously, some continuous-carrier stations like a Weather Broadcast station will seriously
impede scanner operation if you are using the “Carrier Drop” Scan-Resume mode, as the incoming signal
will not pause long enough for the transceiver to resume scanning. Such channels may be “Skipped” during
scanning, if you like:
1. Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
2. Press and hold the [TXPO] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item 54: MRSKIP.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
4. Press the [TXPO] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob so as to select “SKIP.” The current Memory Channel will now be ignored during
scanning. The “ONLY” selection is used for “Preferential Memory Scan,” described in the next column.
6. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the setting and exit to normal
operation.
When you recall the “skipped” memory channel manually, a small “ ” icon will appear at the above of the
volume level indicator, indicating it is to be ignored during scanning.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select “OFF” in step 5 above (the “Skipped” channel will, of
course, still be accessible via manual channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the MR mode,
whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop).
One Touch Memory Skip
If the scanner repeatedly stops on a channel due to temporary noise or interference while Memory Channel
Scan is activating, you can mark it to be skipped (except for Memory Channel “1”) By simple operation.
To skip a channel temporarily, press the [F/W] key, then press the [V/M] key while the scanner has stopped
on the channel to be skipped. The scanner will instantaneously resume, and that channel will be assigned
to the “skipped” memory channel.
To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, perform the “How to Skip (Omit) a Channel during Memory
Scan Operation” described previously, then select “OFF” in step 5.
Preferential Memory Scan
The VX-3R also allows you to set up a “Preferential Scan List” of channels which you can “flag” within the
memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking “ ” icon when you have selected them, one
by one, for the Preferential Scan List.
When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the blinking “ ” icon appended, only
those channels bearing the blinking “ ” icon will be scanned. If you initiate scanning on a channel which
