Receiver Muting; Vhf-Vhf (V-V) Or Uhf-Uhf (U-U) Operation - Yaesu FT-7100M Operating Manual

Receiver Muting

The Mute feature is useful in situations where it would be helpful to reduce the audio level
of the "sub" receiver whenever you receive a signal on the "main" band.
To activate the Mute feature:
1. Press and hold in the [ BAND ] key for 1/2 second to activate the "Menu" mode.
2. Rotate the Main Dial knob to select Menu # 18 (MUTE).
3. Press the [ BAND ] key momentarily to enable changing of this Menu item.
4. Rotate the Main Dial knob to select "ON."
5. Press and hold in the [ BAND ] key for 1/2 second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation.
To disable the Mute feature, select "OFF" in step 4 above.

VHF-VHF (V-V) or UHF-UHF (U-U) Operation

The FT-7100M typically operates on one VHF and one UHF frequency. However, the FT-
7100M may be configured to operate either in a V-V or U-U mode, if needed. Operation in
either of these modes is easily enabled:
r If the "main" band is VHF, press and hold in the [ HOME ]
key for 1/2 second. The transceiver will now display rep-
licate its VHF frequency on both upper and lower chan-
nels, and will be operating in the "V-V" mode.
r If the "main" band is UHF, press and hold in the [ HOME ]
key for 1/2 second. The transceiver will now replicate its
UHF frequency on both upper and lower channels, and
will be operating in the "U-U" mode.
r To return to "normal" VHF-UHF operation, press and hold
in the [ HOME ] key for 1/2 second. The original VFO or
Memory frequency for the "sub" band will be restored.
During V-V or U-U operation, receive sensitivity and intermodulation rejection of the "sub"
receiver will be degraded slightly. However, this usually will not be noticeable except during
operation in highly RF-congested areas.
