Programmable Memory Scan (Pms) - Yaesu VX-5R Operating Manual

P
ROGRAMMABLE
This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO opera-
tion. For example, you might wish to set up a limit (in North America) of 144.300 MHz to
148.000 MHz so as to prevent encroachment into the SSB/CW "Weak Signal" portion of
the band below 144.300 MHz. Here's how to do this:
•
Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key, if necessary.
‚
Using the techniques learned earlier, store (per the above example) 144.300 MHz into
Memory Channel #
ƒ
Likewise, store 148.000 MHz into Memory Channel #
Upper sub-band limit).
„
Switch to the Memory mode by pressing the [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] key once, then rotate the
DIAL to select Memory Channel #
...
Press the [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] key; the "
upper left-hand corner of the display.
†
You may now rotate the DIAL, or begin scanning by pressing the [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key
for one second. The transceiver will behave as though it is in the standard VFO mode,
but operation will be restricted to the range between Memory Channels
If you wish to scan, do not press the [ MR ( SKP ) SC ] key, as it is disabled
during PMS operation. Press and hold in the [ VFO ( DW ) SC ] key instead.
‡
Ten pairs of Band Limit memories, labeled
You therefore can set upper and lower operation limits on a number of bands, if you
like.
