[. . . ] When this happens, it may be that the other station is not sending any tone. You can press the PTT switch to halt the scan at any time. You also can press the MONI key during Tone Scanning to listen to the (muted) signal from the other station. When you release the MONI key, Tone Scanning will resume after about a second. Set the radio up for either CTCSS or DCS Decoder operation (see the previous discus- CTCSS/DCS BELL OPERATION During CTCSS Decode or DCS operation, you may set the VX-150 up such that a ringing "Bell" sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the procedure for activating the Bell will ring in accordance with this programming. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode ("TONE SQL") or DCS operation, as described previously. Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel. Press the [F ] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to activate the Set mode. Rotate the DIAL to select Menu Item #18 ("BELL"). Press the [F] key to enable adjustment of the Bell ringer. Rotate the DIAL to set the desired number of rings of the Bell. The available choices are 1, 3, 5, or 8 rings, REPEAT (continuous ringing), or OFF. Press the PTT key momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. When a station calls you whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone or DCS code which matches that set into your Decoder, the Bell will ring in accordance to this programming. VX-150 OPERATING MANUAL 17 Memory Operation The VX-150 provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These include: m 199 "Standard" memory channels, numbered "1" through "199. " m A Home channel, allowing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency. m Five sets of band-edge memories also known as "Programming Memory Scan" channels, labeled "L1/U1" through "L5/U5" MEMORY STORAGE 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. Press and hold the [F] key for one second. Within five seconds of releasing the [F] key, rotate the DIAL to select the desired memory channel number. Press the [F ] key once more to store the frequency into memory. 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. 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: Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORY STOR Turn to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold the [F] key for 1/2 second. [. . . ] Default: 023 In this mode, press the [F] key, then press the PTT key, to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. Set Item 28 [DTMF] Function: Programming the DTMF Autodialer.
