VX-6R OPERATING MANUAL58The Channel Counter allows measuring of the frequency of a nearby transmitter, withoutknowing that frequency in advance. The frequency can be measured by bringing the VX-6R close to the transceiver which is transmitting.The VX-6R performs a high-speed search within a ±5 MHz range from the frequencydisplayed on the LCD. When the strongest signal in that range is identified, the VX-6Rdisplays the frequency of that (strongest) signal, and writes it into the special “ChannelCounter” memory.Note: This Channel Counter is designed to provide an indication of the operating fre-quency of the incoming signal, one that is close enough to allow the user, thereafter, to tuneprecisely to the other station’s frequency. This feature is not, however, designed to providea precise determination of the other station’s frequency.1. Set the radio to the VFO mode in the predicted frequency range for the transmitter tobe measured.2. Bring the VX-6R into close proximity to the transmitter to be measured.3. Press and hold in the [MODE(SP S)SQ TYP] key for one second, and rotate theDIAL knob while holding in the [MODE(SP S)SQ TYP] keyto that “CH CNT” indication appears on the display: this acti-vates the Channel Counter feature.4. Release the [MODE(SP S)SQ TYP] key to begin the ChannelCounter; the frequency of the nearby station will be displayed.When the channel counter is active, a 50 dB receiver front-endattenuator will be engaged. Therefore, only stations in close prox-imity may have their frequencies measured using this feature.5. If it isn’t possible to determine the signal’s frequency, the trans-ceiver will return to the frequency on which you were operating when you startedChannel Counter operation.6. When you are finished, just press the [MODE(SP S)SQ TYP] key. The radio willexit from Channel Counter operation.CHANNEL COUNTER OPERATION
