How to Skip (Omit) a Frequency During VFO Search

If the VFO search stops on a frequency or frequencies that you do not need (such as a
spurious radiation from a television), such frequencies can be "skipped" during VFO Search
scanning. This is accomplished by storing these frequencies in a special "Frequency Skip
Memory Bank" reserved for this purpose.
To skip a frequency during VFO Search scanning:
•
While VFO Search is stopped on the frequency that you do
not need, press the [4(SW/SC)] key while pressing the
[FUNC] key. The display will indicate "S nn WRITE?" as a
request for command confirmation (see next step).
‚
Now, press the [4(SW/SC)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key again, to store the
frequency into the VFO Frequency Skip Memory (VFO Frequency Skip Memory
Write), it is to be ignored during VFO search.
Note that the VR-500 has 100 VFO Frequency Skip Memory Channels (channel num-
ber "S00 ~ S99").
To re-institute the frequency into the VFO search loop:
•
Press and hold in the [FUNC] key, then press the [1(MEMO)] key, repeatedly if neces-
sary, to recall the VFO Frequency Skip Memory mode ("S nn " will appear at the left
side of the display).
‚
Rotate the DIAL knob to select the channel to be re-instituted.
ƒ
Press the [4(SW/SC)] key while pressing the [FUNC] key.
The display will indicate "S nn CLEAR?" as a request for
command confirmation (see next step).
„
Now, press the [4(SW/SC)] key while pressing the [FUNC]
key again; this action will delete the channel from the VFO Frequency Skip Memory,
so as to re-institute the frequency into the VFO Search scanning loop.
