[. . . ] Rotate the DIAL knob to select the first Memory Bank ("BANK 1" ~ "BANK24") you wish to sweep using Memory Bank Link Scan. A small blinking " " icon will appear at the left of the Memory Bank number, indicating this Memory Bank will now be swept during Memory Bank Scan. Repeat steps 3 and 4 above, to append the blinking " " icon to any other Memory Banks you wish to sweep. Now, press and hold in the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key for one second to initiate the Memory Bank Link Scan. To remove a Memory Bank from the Memory Bank Link Scan, repeat steps 2 and 3 above, to delete the blinking " " icon from the Memory Bank number indication. VX-6R OPERATING MANUAL 51 SCANNING PROGRAMMABLE (BAND LIMIT) MEMORY SCAN (PMS) This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO operation. For example, you might wish to set up a limit (in North America) of 144. 300 MHz to 148. 000 MHz so as to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW "Weak Signal" portion of the band below 144. 300 MHz. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [V/M(DW)MT] key, if necessary. Using the techniques learned earlier, store (per the above concept) 144. 300 MHz into Memory Channel #L1 (the "L" designates the Lower sub-band limit). Likewise, store 148. 000 MHz into Memory Channel #U1 (the "U" designates the Upper sub-band limit). Press and hold in the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key for one second, and (while holding the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key in) rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired PMS frequency pair (PMSxx), then release the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key. Releasing the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key to initiates the Programmable (Band Limit) Memory Scan; the Memory Channel number will be replaced by "Pxx. " Scanning and tuning will now be limited within the just-programmed range. 50 pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled L1/U1 through L50/U50 are available. You therefore can set upper and lower operation limits in multiple segments on a number of bands, if you like. To exit from PMS operation, press the [V/M(DW)MT] key. Please be sure only to store limit frequencies which are on the same band and set to the same frequency steps in both the upper and lower frequency limit memories. 52 VX-6R OPERATING MANUAL SCANNING "PRIORITY CHANNEL" SCANNING (DUAL WATCH) The VX-6R's scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows you to operate on a VFO or Memory channel, while periodically checking a user-defined Memory Channel for activity. If a station is received on the Memory Channel which is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause on that station in accordance with the Scan-Resume mode set via Set Mode Item 49: RESUME. Here is the procedure for activating Priority Channel Dual Watch operation: 1. Press the [V/M(DW)MT] key momentarily to enter the Memory Recall mode, if you are not using memories already. If you are operating within a Memory Bank, you must exit from Memory Bank operation by pressing the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key momentarily. Press and hold in the [F/W] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the memory channel you wish to be the "Priority" channel. The " " icon will appear to the left side of the memory channel number, indicating it is the Priority channel while recalling the channel. 4 Now set the VX-6R for operation on another memory channel, Home channel, or on a VFO frequency. [. . . ] Note: "OPTION" will be displayed if the SU-1 is not installed. Set Mode Item 64 [SU1. SET] Function: Selects the display of the sensor units' information. Available Values: OFF/BARO/ALTI Default: OFF Note: The barometric pressure (BARO) and altitude (ALTI) information require the optional SU-1. VX-6R OPERATING MANUAL 101 SET (MENU) MODE Set Mode Item 65 [TEMP] Function: Indicates indicate the current temperature inside the transceiver's case and selects the measurement units ("°F" or "°C") for the temperature sensor. Set Mode Item 66 [TN FRQ] Function: Setting of the CTCSS Tone Frequency. [. . . ]
