User manual YAESU VX6E

[. . . ] The VX-6R’s small size allows you to take it anywhere - hiking, skiing, or while walking around town - and its operating flexibility brings the user many avenues of operating enjoyment. Its incredibly compact FNB-80LI Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Pack provides up to 5 Watts of transmit power on 144 MHz and 430 MHz Amateur Bands. Besides 144and 430-MHz transceive operation, the VX-6R provides receive coverage of the AM (MF) and FM broadcast bands, HF Shortwave Bands, VHF and UHF TV bands, the VHF AM aircraft band, and a wide range of commercial and public safety frequencies!Further more, the USA version enables 1. [. . . ] 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. If you watch the display carefully, you’ll observe the scanner periodically shifting to the Weather Broadcast bank, scanning the Weather channels quickly in search of the Alert Tone, after which regular scanning will resume for another five seconds. to enable the Weather Alert Scan feature: 1. Press the [F/W] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode. Press the [0(SET)] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item. When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the setting and exit to normal operation. To disable the Weather Alert Scan feature, select “OFF” in step 4 above. 1) When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the Scan-Resume mode is fixed to “TIME. € 2) If you are just scanning the Weather Broadcast Channels, the VX-6R’s receiver will remain muted indefinitely unless the Alert Tone is received. This yields a long period of monitoring time, as no power will be consumed via audio output while scanning for the Alert Tone is in progress. VX-6R OPERATING MANUAL 55 SMART SEARCH OPERATION The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where activity is encountered by your radio. When Smart Search is engaged, the transceiver will search above and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (without stopping on them even momentarily); these frequencies are stored into a special Smart Search memory bank, consisting of 31 memories (15 above the current frequency, 15 below the current frequency, plus the current frequency itself). [. . . ] available Values: HP (hpa)/MB (mbar)/HG (mmHg)/IC (inch) , offset: –1000 to +1000 Default: Depends on the transceiver version. Note: “OPTION” will be displayed if the SU-1 is not installed. 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. [. . . ]
