EMERGENCY CHANNEL OPERATION
The VX-7R includes an “Emergency” feature which may be useful if you have someone
monitoring on the same frequency as your transceiver’s UHF “Home” channel. See page
47 for details on setting the Home channel.
The “Emergency” feature is activated by pressing the key for 1/2 seconds.
When this is done, (A) the radio is placed on the UHF amateur band Home channel, (B) it
emits a loud “Alarm” sound (the volume is controlled by the VOLUME knob), (C) it
flashes the STROBE in sequential colors, (D) if you press the PTT key, you will disable
the Emergency feature temporarily; you can then transmit on the UHF Home channel, and
(E) two seconds after the PTT release, the Emergency feature will resume.
To disable the “Emergency” feature, press the key for 1/2 seconds or turn the radio Offf
by pressing and holding in the
(
PWR
)
switch for 2 seconds.
Use this feature if you are out for a walk and want a quick way of alerting a family member
as to a dangerous situation. The alarm sound may discourage an attacker and allow you to
escape.
