VR-160 OPERATING MANUAL46
VFO SCANNING
This mode allows you to scan on the VFO mode.
1. Select the VFO mode by pressing the
[
V/M
]
key, if necessary.
2. Press and hold in the SCAN switch for one second until the
scanner VFO bandwidth setting appears on the screen.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the bandwidth for the VFO scan-
ner. Available selections are ±1 MHz, ±2 MHz, ±5 MHz, BAND,
ALL, and PMS-X.
±1 MHz, ±2 MHz, ±5 MHz: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the selected
bandwidth.
BAND: The scanner will sweep frequencies only on the cur-
rent band (see chart below).
ALL: The scanner will sweep all frequencies between 100
kHz and 1300 MHz.
PMS-X: The scanner will sweep frequencies within the cur-
rently-selected PMS frequency pair. See page 52 for
details.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
4. Press the SCAN switch briefly to start scanning.
5. When the scanner encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch, the scanner
will halt temporarily; the decimal point of the frequency display will blink during this
“Pause” condition.
6. The scanner will then resume according to the Scan-Resume mode selected in the
previous section.
7. To cancel scanning, press the SCAN switch or
[
V/M
]
key.
1) When you start scanning, the VR-160 will be changing frequency in the
upward direction. If you want to change direction of the scan while it is un-
derway, rotate the DIAL knob one click in the opposite direction (in this case,
one click counter-clockwise). You’ll see the scanner turn around and change frequency
downward!
2) You may change the scanner’s
method of operation so the VFO fre-
quency will jump to the low band edge
of the next band when the VFO fre-
quency reaches the high edge of the
current band (or vice versa). See page
86 regarding Set Mode Item 58: VFO
MODE.
