Receive Mode - Yupiteru MVT-7100 Owner’s Guide Owner's Manual

Memory bank
An association of memory channels. This radio has 10 memory banks (1-0). Since it also has 1000
memory channels, this means there are 100 memory channels per memory bank.
Memory channel
A location used to store a frequency and its associated receive mode.
The MVT-7100 has 1000 memory channels which are divided into 10 banks.
Pass
Refers to scanning and searching operations. A memory channel can be passed so that it is not checked
during a scan operation. A frequency can be passed so it is not checked during a search operation. See
Scan Pass and Search Pass for more information.
Priority Channel
Special memory channel that can be checked on a periodic basis for active transmissions. This is usually
programmed with very important frequency that you do not want to miss activity on. The MVT-7100 has 1
priority channel which is located at the end of "normal" memory.

Receive Mode

The method by which radio transmissions will be demodulated so that the resultant audio portion may be
directed to the speaker. Available receive modes are :
AM - Amplitude Modulation (below 30MHz, amateur radio, commercial
and military aircraft)
NAM - Narrow AM (mainly used below 25MHz; only found on the MVT-7200)
FM - Frequency Modulation (most VHF/UHF communications)
WFM - Wide FM (for FM radio and TV audio)
USB - Upper Sideband (mainly used below 25MHz & amateur radio bands)
LSB - Lower Sideband (mainly used below 25MHz & amateur radio bands)
Scan Pass
Most receivers refer to this feature as channel lockout. Once a frequency has been programmed into
memory, a scanning operation will stop on this channel if an active transmission is detected. Certain
frequencies may contain transmissions which are very or always active. To keep the scanning operation
from stopping on these channels, they can be locked-out/skipped/passed during a scan.
Scanning
The act whereby memory channels are successively checked for active radio transmissions of their
programmed frequencies.
Search band
A feature which allows a pre-defined frequency range to be programmed so that it can be repeatedly
searched for active transmissions. Stored with each search band are a starting frequency, ending
frequency, receive mode and step size. The MVT-7100 has 10 search bands.
Search Pass
Some receivers refer to this feature as search-skip. If you have a known frequency, which you would like to
skip while performing a search, it can be placed in a special memory. Yupiteru refers to this as the Search
Pass Memory. Once placed in this memory, this frequency will not be tested for an active transmission, or
in other words it's skipped/passed when performing a search. The MVT-7100 has 500 Search pass
frequencies.
Searching
The act whereby a frequency is incremented or decremented successively to detect active radio
transmissions in a given frequency range. Searching is usually performed on a programmed Search Band.
