Changing the Microphone Gain Level
Different operators speak at different voice levels, and speak at varying distances from the
radio's microphone. So as to compensate for these differences, the VX-6R includes a Mi-
crophone Gain control, that allows you to set the Microphone Gain to the best level ac-
cording to your operating preferences. Here's how to set the level:
1. Press the [ F/W ] key, then press the [ 0 ( SET )] key to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 37:
3. Press the [ 0 ( SET )] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the gain to a different level. The
default setting is "
LVL 3
setting or "
into the microphone; you can hear the effects by monitoring on another radio tuned to
your operating frequency.
5. When you have made your selection, press and hold in the [ 0 ( SET )] key for 2 seconds
to save the new setting and exit to normal operation
The VX-6R includes provision for reception of AM broadcasts, either on the standard
medium-wave (MW) broadcast band, or on the shortwave bands up to 30 MHz.
1. Press the [ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key (or press the [ F/W ] key, followed by the
[ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key) repetitively until you see a frequency in the frequency
range desired. The MW coverage is 0.5 MHz to 1.8 MHz, while the shortwave broad-
cast coverage is 1.8 MHz to 30 MHz. In either case, the operat-
ing mode (displayed on the bottom left of the LCD) should be
shown as being "
2. Rotate the DIAL to tune across the broadcast band.
3. You may also use the keypad to enter frequencies directly. This
method will be quicker for changing from the 49-meter broad-
cast band to the 31-meter band, for example.
1) If the operating mode is not correct, you may change the operating mode
by pressing the [MODE(SP S)SQ TYP] key.
2) The VX-6R includes a special memory bank into which the factory has
stored 89 frequencies representing popular Short-wave Broadcast stations. See page 43
for details.
