Channel Group Selection
The
VX-530
is capable of separating its 512 memory channels into any
of 16 Groups. There is no limit as to the number of channels which may
be assigned to each Group. The Dealer will have made the Group assign-
ment at the time of channel programming. At the same time, one of the
Soft
Keys will be assigned as the Channel Group Selection key.
To change Channel Groups
, press the assigned
Soft
key to step
through the available Groups. Once the desired Group is reached, rotate
the
CH
selector knob to select the desired channel within the selected
Group.
You may wish to have the Scanner (described previously) pass through
more than one Group during the scanning process (normally, scanning is
performed within the current group only). To include the current Group
in the scanning loop,
press and hold in
the assigned
Soft
key for one
second.
To remove a Group from Group Scan, press and hold in the assigned
Soft
key again for one second.
Multi-Group Scanning is only possible if you are using the “User Scan”
list.
The
VX-530
has two scanning “lists:” the “Dealer Scan” list and the “User
Scan” list. The “Dealer Scan” list is a fixed group of stations which will
be included when scanning is activated. The “User Scan” list is a differ-
ent list, initially arranged by the Dealer, which may be modified by the
User (if, for example, you want to delete one or more of these channels
from the scanning list).
To edit the User Scan list, press and hold in the
Soft
key (assigned to the
Group Up/Down function) to delete the current Memory Group from the
Scanning. Alternatively, press and hold in the “Scan”
Soft
key for one
second to delete the Current Memory channel from the Scanning loop.
When you delete a Group or channel, “-SKIP-” will appear on the LCD
for one second after pressing the
Soft
key. To restore a particular channel
to your scanning list, press and hold in the
Soft
key again for one second;
“-STOP-” will appear on the LCD for one second after pressing the
Soft
key.
