VX-150 OPERATING MANUAL30The VX-150 provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These include:m 199 “Standard” memory channels, numbered “11111” through “199199199199199.”m A Home channel per band, allowing storage and quick recall of one prime frequencyon each band.m Ten sets of band-edge memories also known as “Programming Memory Scan” chan-nels, labeled “L1L1L1L1L1/U1U1U1U1U1” through “L5L5L5L5L5/U5U5U5U5U5”MEMORY S TORAGEÅ Select the desired frequency, while operating in the VFO mode. Be sure to set up anydesired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset. The power levelmay also be set at this time, if you wish to store it.Ç Press and hold the [F/W] key for one second.É Within five seconds of releasing the [F/W] key, rotate the DIAL to select the desiredmemory channel.Ñ Press the [F/W] key once more to store the frequency into memory.Ö You still will be operating in the “VFO” mode, so you may now enter other frequen-cies, and store them into additional memory locations, by repeating the above process.S TORING INDEPENDENT TRANSMIT FREQUENCIES (“ODD SPLITS”)All memories can store an independent transmit frequency, for operation on repeaters withnon-standard shift. To do this:Å Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORY STOR-AGE (it doesn’t matter if a repeater offset is active).Ç Turn to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold the [F/W] key for one second.É With in five seconds of releasing the [F/W] key, rotate the DIAL to select the samememory channel number as used in step Å above.Ñ Press and hold the PTT switch then press the [F/W] key once more momentarily (thisdoes not key the transmitter).Whenever you recall a memory which contains independently-stored transmit and re-ceive frequencies, the “[+][–]” indication will appear in the display.M EMORY RECALLÅ While operating in the VFO mode, press the [MR(SKIP)] key. The “MRMRMRMRMR” indicatorwill show that you are now in the Memory Recall mode.Ç Rotate the DIAL to select the desired channel.É To return to the VFO mode, press the [VFO(PRI)] key.An easy way to recall memories is to key in the memory channel number, then press[MR(SKIP)].For example, to recall memory channel #16, press [1]-[6]-[MR(SKIP)].Memory Mode
