Vertex Standard VX-177 manual Automatic Lamp Illumination on Scan Stop, Band Edge Beeper

SCANNING

AUTOMATIC LAMP ILLUMINATION ON SCAN STOP

The VX-177will automatically illuminate the LCD/Keypad Lamp whenever the scanner stops on a signal; this allows you to see the frequency of the incoming signal better at night. Note that this will, of course, increase the battery consumption, so be sure to switch it off during the day (the default condition for this feature is “ON”).

The procedure for disabling the Scan Lamp is:

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

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 40: SCN.LMP.

3. Press the [F] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.

4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to “OFF.”

5.When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the setting and exit to normal operation.

BAND EDGE BEEPER

The VX-177will automatically “beep” when a band edge is encountered during scanning (either in standard VFO scanning or during PMS operation). You may also enable this feature (band edge beeper) to operate when the frequency reaches the band edge while tuning using the DIAL knob.

The procedure for enabling the Band-Edge Beeper is:

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

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 20: EDG.BEP.

3. Press the [F] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.

4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to “BEP. ON.”

5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the setting and exit to normal operation.
