Vertex Standard VX-8R PTT, DIAL, OVER- WRITE, MEMORY ONLY MODE, MOVING MEMORY DATA TO THE VFO

MEMORY MODE (REGULAR MEMORY CHANNEL OPERATION)

MOVING MEMORY DATA TO THE VFO

Data stored on memory channels can easily be moved to VFO, if you like.

1.Press the key, if needed, to enter the Memory Recall (“MR”) mode.

2.Press and hold in the key for 1/2 second, then rotate

the DIAL knob to select the memory channel containing the frequency data to be moved to VFO.

3. Press the key. The confirmation message (OVER- WRITE?) will appear on the display. Press the key once more, the data will now have been copied to VFO, although the original memory contents will remain intact on the previously stored channel. Press the PTT switch to cancel the Moving Memory Data procedure, if desired.

If a Split Frequency Memory channel was transferred, the Tx frequency will be ignored (you will be set up for Simplex operation on the Receive frequency).

MEMORY ONLY MODE

Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a “Memory Only” mode, whereby VFO operation is impossible. This may be particularly useful during public-service events where a number of operators may be using the radio for the first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired.

To place the radio into the Memory Only mode, turn the radio off. Now press and hold in the key while turning the radio on.

To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on procedure.
