Vertex Standard VX-150 - Memory Operation and Management; Memory Storage, Recall, and Tuning

VX-150 OPERATING MANUAL18
The VX-150 provides a wide variety of memory system resources. These include:
m 199 “Standard” memory channels, numbered “1” through “199.”
m A Home channel, allowing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency.
m Five sets of band-edge memories also known as “Programming Memory Scan” chan-
nels, labeled “L1/U1” through “L5/U5”
MEMORY STORAGE

Select the desired frequency, while operating in the VFO mode. Be sure to set up any
desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset.

Press and hold the
[
F
]
key for one second.

Within five seconds of releasing the
[
F
]
key, rotate the DIAL to select the desired
memory channel number.

Press the
[
F
]
key once more to store the frequency into memory.

You still will be operating in the “VFO” mode, so you may now enter other frequen-
cies, and store them into additional memory locations, by repeating the above process.
STORING INDEPENDENT TRANSMIT FREQUENCIES
(
“ODD SPLITS”
)
All memories can store an independent transmit frequency, for operation on repeaters with
non-standard shift. To do this:

Store the receive frequency using the method already described under MEMORY STOR-
AGE (it doesn’t matter if a repeater offset is active).

Turn to the desired transmit frequency, then press and hold the
[
F
]
key for 1/2 second.

With in five seconds of releasing the
[
F
]
key, rotate the DIAL to select the same memory
channel number as used in step

above.

Press and hold the PTT switch, then press the
[
F
]
key once more momentarily (this
does not key the transmitter).
Whenever you recall a memory which contains independently-stored transmit and re-
ceive frequencies, the “[–][
+
]” indication will appear in the display.
MEMORY RECALL

While operating in the VFO mode, press the
[
MR
(
SKIP
)]
key. The “MR” indicator
will show that you are now in the Memory Recall mode.

Rotate the DIAL to select the desired channel.

To return to the VFO mode, press the
[
VFO
(
PRI
)]
key.
An easy way to recall memories is to key in the memory channel number, then press
[
MR
(
SKIP
)
]
.
For example, to recall memory channel #16, press
[
1
]
-
[
6
]
-
[
MR
(
SKIP
