TEPS
The
VX-7R
’s synthesizer provides the option of utilizing channel steps of 5/9/10/12.5/15/
20/25/50/100 kHz per step, any number of which may be important to your operating
requirements. The
VX-7R
is set up at the factory with different default steps on each oper-
ating band which probably are satisfactory for most operation. However, if you need to
change the channel step increments, the procedure to do so is very easy.
1.
Press the
key, then press the
key to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the
DIAL
to select the Menu Item labeled (
Basic Setup #3: VFO STEP
).
3.
Press the
or
key to select the new channel step
size.
4.
Press the
PTT
key to save the new setting and exit to nor-
mal operation.
9 kHz step is available on the BC band only.
