If the VFO scan stops on a frequency or frequencies that you do not need (such as a
spurious radiation from a television), such frequencies can be "skipped" during VFO scan-
ning. A special "Frequency Skip Memory" bank is reserved to store these frequencies.
To skip a frequency during VFO scanning:
1. While VFO scanning is stopped on the frequency that you do not need, press and hold
key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired Fre-
the
quency Skip Memory channel (900 - 999). The microprocessor will automatically
select the next-available "free" Frequency Skip Memory channel (a memory register
on which no data has been stored). If you see the " " icon at the upper left of the
channel number, it means that the channel currently has no data written on it (i.e. the
channel is "free").
2. Press the key to store the frequency into the Frequency Skip Memory. It will now
be ignored during VFO scanning.
To re-institute a frequency into the VFO scan loop:
1. Press the key, if needed, to enter the Memory Recall ("MR") mode.
2. Press and hold in the
memory channel to be re-instituted.
3. Press the
restore the frequency into the VFO scan loop.
The VX-8DR/DE has 100 VFO Frequency Skip Memory Channels.
