SET (MENU) MODE

The VX-177Set Mode, already described in parts of many previous chapters, is easy to activate and set. It may be used for configuration of a wide variety of transceiver param- eters, some of which have not been detailed previously. Use the following procedure to activate the Set Mode:

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

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item to be ad- justed.

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

4. Rotate the DIAL knob to adjust or select the parameter to be changed on the Set Mode Item selected in above step.

5.After completing your selection and adjustment, press the PTT switch momentarily to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

1)Some Set Mode Items (like Set Mode Item 46: TN FRQ) require that the

[F]key be pressed after setting of the parameter, and before exiting to nor- mal operation.

2)Two Set Mode Item numbers (in the factory default, Set Mode Item 25: LAMP, and 32: RESUME) will blink while selecting the Set Mode Item; this indicates that this Set Mode Item has been assigned to the [7(P1)] or [8(P2)] key of the keypad.
