Vertex Standard VX-177 manual Labeling Memories

MEMORY MODE

LABELING MEMORIES

You may wish to append an alpha-numeric “Tag” (label) to a memory or memories, to aid in recollection of the channel’s use (such as a club name, etc.). This is easily accomplished using the Set Mode.

1. Recall the memory channel on which you wish to append a label.

2. Press the [F] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode. 3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 29: NM WRT. 4. Press the [F] key momentarily to display the previously

stored label (if any). 5. Press the [F] key again to clear any previous label. 6. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the first digit of the desired

label.

7. Press the [F] key to move to the next character.

8. If you make a mistake, press the [￿(MHz)] key to back- space the cursor, then re-enter the correct letter, number, or symbol.

9. Repeat steps 5 through 7 to program the remaining letters, numbers, or symbols of the desired label. A total of six charac- ters may be used in the creation of a label.

10.When you have programmed a label which is under 6 characters,

press and hold in the [F] key for one second to confirm the label (if the label is exactly 6

characters in length, you do not need to press and hold in [F] key).

11. When you have completed the creation of the label, press the PTT switch to save the label and return to the memory recall mode with labeled (alpha-numeric “Tag”) display.

To disable the alpha-numeric Tag (enabling the frequency display):

1.Set the VX-177to the “MR” (Memory Recall) mode, and recall the memory channel on which you wish to disable the alpha-numeric Tag.

2.Press the [F] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.

3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item 28: NAME.

4. Press the [F] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Item’s setting.

5. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to “FREQ” (enabling the frequency display).

6. Press the PTT switch to save the new setting and activate the alpha-numeric Tag.

To display the alpha-numeric Tag again, just repeat the above procedure, rotating the DIAL knob to select “ALPHA” in step 5 above.

Set Mode Item 28:NAME is not applied to all memory channels at once (just the channel on which you currently are operating).
