Step – Vfo Frequency Step - Vertex Standard VZ-88 Operating Manual

using this function. For different people tones are
different.
If the microphone is much too sensitive, noise from

surrounding areas may enable the TX, please
adjust sensitivity to a lower level.
If VOX gain is set to a high/sensitive level,

connecting the speaker/microphone to the radio
can amplify the RX signals and may cause TX.
OFFSET – VFO frequency offset
When offset frequency equals VFO TX frequency
minus RX frequency. The offset can be 00.000 to
69.995 MHz which is directly input by digit keys, and
the offset direction is selected by "▲/▼" keys for 3
options: none, "-", and "+". The positive ("+") direction
means TX frequency will plus the offset on the current
displayed RX frequency, so as to the negative ("-")
direction.
If the offset is set, the unit's TX frequency display will
change when press "PTT" to transmit at repeater
mode.
STEP – VFO frequency step
Frequency step has 5 selections: 5.00KHz, 6.25KHz,
10.00KHz, 12.50KHz, and 25.00KHz. In VFO mode,
user can press "▲/▼" keys to increase / decrease RX
frequency with selected step.
CPS
It's quite convenience to program following parameters
or functions by connecting the radio to a PC with a
compatible programming cable and run the VZ-88 CPS
program.
