If you forget the password number, you may turn on the transceiver by per-
forming the "All Reset" procedure (see page 67). However, the VX-177 will
clear the password, as well as all memories, and will restore all other settings
to factory defaults.

Default VX-177 Set Mode Items have been assigned (at the factory) to the [ 7 ( P1 )] and
[ 8 ( P2 )] keys. These may be changed by the user, if you wish to assign another Set Mode
Item to either or both of these keys.
To change the assignment of a key's Set Mode Item:
1. Press the [ F ] key, then press the [ 0 ( SET )] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item which you wish to assign to the key
as a Menu short-cut.

The VX-177's synthesizer provides the option of utilizing channel steps of 5/10/12.5/15/
20/25/50/100 kHz per step, as well as an automatic step selection based on the current
operating frequency ("AUTO"), any number of which may be important to your operating
requirements. The VX-177 is set up at the factory in the "AUTO" configuration, which
probably is satisfactory for most operation. However, if you need to change the channel
step increments, the procedure to do so is very easy.
1. Press the [ F ] key, then press the [ 0 ( SET )] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 45:
3. Press the [ F ] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the new channel step size.
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to
save the new setting and return to normal operation.
