HOW TO SKIP
(
OMIT
)
A FREQUENCY DURING VFO SCAN
If the VFO scan stops on a frequency or frequencies that you do not need (such as a spuri-
ous radiation from a television), such frequencies can be “skipped” during VFO scanning.
A special “Frequency Skip Memory” bank is reserved to store these frequencies.
To skip a frequency during VFO scanning:
1. While VFO scanning is stopped on the frequency that you do not need, press and hold
the
[
F/W
]
key for 1/2 seconds, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired Fre-
quency Skip Memory channel (
901901
901901
901 -
999999
999999
999). The microprocessor will automatically
select the next-available “free” Frequency Skip Memory channel (a memory register
on which no data has been stored). If you see that any blinking channel number, it
means that the channel currently has no data written on it (i.e. the channel is “free”).
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
2. Press the
[
F/W
]
key to store the frequency into the Frequency Skip Memory. It will
now be ignored during VFO scanning.
To re-institute a frequency into the VFO scan loop:
1. Press the
[
V/M
]
key, if needed, to enter the MR mode.
2. Press and hold in the
[
F/W
]
key for 1/2 second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the
memory channel to be re-instituted.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
3. Press the
[ ]
key to delete the channel from the Frequency Skip Memory; this will
restore the frequency into the VFO scan loop.
The VX-3R has 99 VFO Frequency Skip Memory Channels.

SETTING THE SQUELCH LEVEL DURING ACTIVE SCANNING OPERATION
The VX-3R allows adjustment of the Squelch level “on the fly” while you are
scanning.
1. While the scanner is engaged, press the
[
F/W
]
key. Then press the
[
MONI
]
key (the current squelch level will appear in the Memory
Channel Number display slot in the frequency display).
2. Rotate the DIAL to select the desired Squelch level.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the
DIAL knob.
3. Press the PTT switch momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal
operation. In this case, pressing the PTT switch this one time will not cause
scanning to stop.
