VX-6R OPERATING MANUAL48Setting the Squelch Level during active Scanning OperationThe VX-6R 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 (thecurrent squelch level (e.g. “S 1”) will appear in fine printabove the frequency display).2. Rotate the DIAL to select the desired Squelch level.3. Press the PTT switch momentarily to save the new settingand exit to normal operation. In this case, pressing the PTT switch this one time willnot causing scanning to stop.How to Skip (Omit) a Frequency during VFO ScanIf 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.This accomplished by storing these frequencies in a special “Frequency Skip Memory”bank reserved for this purpose.To skip a frequency during VFO scanning:1. While VFO scanning is stopped (“pause” state) on the frequency that you do not need,press and hold in the [F/W] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select thedesired Frequency Skip Memory channel (901 - 999). The microprocessor willautomatically select the next-available “free” Frequency Skip Memory channel (amemory register on which no data has been stored). Any channel with a blinking chan-nel number is one that currently has no data written on it (i.e. the channel is “free”).2. Press the [F/W] key to store the frequency into the Frequency Skip Memory; it now isprogrammed to be ignored during VFO scanning.The VX-6R has 99 VFO Frequency Skip Memory Channels.To re-institute a frequency into the VFO scan loop:1. Press the [V/M(DW)MT] key, if needed, to enter the MR mode.2. Press and hold in the [F/W] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select thememory channel to be re-instituted.3. Press the [ (LK)TXPO] key to delete the channel from the Frequency Skip Memory;this will re-institute the frequency into the VFO scan loop.VFO SCANNINGSCANNING
