The
VX-8GR/GE
’s frequency synthesizer provides the option of utilizing tuning steps of
5, 6.25, 8.33, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 50 and 100 kHz per step. The
VX-8GR/GE
is set up at the
factory with different default steps for each operating band which are probably satisfactory
for most operation. However, if you need to change the channel step increments, the proce-
dure to do so is very easy.
1.
Press the
f
key, then press the
1
key on the left side of the radio. This provides a
“Short-cut” to Set Mode Item
89: STEP FREQUENCY
.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired step size.
3.
Press the
PTT
switch to save the new setting and return to
normal operation.
1) 8.33 kHz steps are available only when receiving on the Air band.
2) 5 kHz steps are not available for use on 250 - 300 MHz, nor above 580
MHz.

The
VX-8GR/GE
provides for automatic mode changing when the radio is tuned to dif-
ferent operating frequencies. However, should an unusual
receiving situation arise in which you need to change to a
different receiving mode, just press the
key. The re-
ceiving modes available are:
AUTO
: The receive mode is automatically set accord-
ing to the default values for the selected fre-
quency range
NFM
:
Frequency Modulation
AM
:
Amplitude Modulation
Unless you have a compelling reason to do so, leave the Automatic Mode
Selection feature on in order to save time and trouble when changing bands.
If you make a mode change for a particular frequency or station, you can
always store that one channel into memory, as the mode setting will be memorized along
with the frequency information.
