[. . . ] The synthesizer steps selected for VFO operation on the current band will be the steps used during Memory Tuning. If you wish to return to the original memory frequency, press and hold in the key for 1/2 second. The "MT indicator will be replaced by "MR MT" MR. " MT MR 5. If you wish to store a new frequency set during Memory Tuning, just press and hold in the key for 1/2 second, per normal memory storage procedure. The microprocessor will automatically set itself to the next-available clear memory location, and you then press again to lock in the new frequency. If you want to replace the original memory contents with those of the new frequency, be sure to rotate the DIAL to the original memory channel number!Any required CTCSS/DCS changes, or repeater offset modifications, must be done before storing the data into the new (or original) memory channel location. VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL 49 MEMORY MODE REGULAR MEMORY CHANNEL OPERATION Masking Memories There may be situations where you want to "Mask" memories so they are not visible during memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city you visit infrequently may be stored, then "Masked" until you visit that city, at which time you can "Unmask" them for normal use. Press and hold in the key for 1/2 second, then rotate the DIAL to select the memory channel to be "Masked" from view. Press the DIAL to the location you just "Masked, " you will observe that it is now invisible. To Unmask the hidden memory, repeat the above procedure: press and hold in the key for 1/2 second, rotate the DIAL to select the masked memory's umber, then press to restore the memory channel's data. You can manually store data over a "Masked" memory, deleting previous data, if you're not careful. Use the "next available memory" technique (look for the [ ] icon) storage technique to avoid over-writing a masked memory. 50 VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL MEMORY MODE REGULAR MEMORY CHANNEL OPERATION Memory Group Operation Memory Group Assignment 1. Press and hold in the ) you want as the Memory Group for this channel. Set the radio to the Memory mode on the "Main" Band by pressing the key, if necessary. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired Memory Group ("MG1 ~ "MG9 MG1" MG9 MG9"). In the Memory Group mode of operation, you can only select memory channels in the current memory group (up to 48 channels). To change the Memory Group to another Group, press the key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob. To exit from Memory Group operation, recall the Special Memory Menu (press + ) then change its setting to "1 OFF 1 OFF. " VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL 51 MEMORY MODE Moving Memory Data to the VFO Data stored on memory channels can easily be moved to VFO, if you like. Select the memory channel containing the frequency data to be moved to VFO. The data will now have been copied to VFO, although the original memory contents will remain intact on the previously-stored channel. 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. [. . . ] Misc Setup #12 [ICON SET] Function: Enables/disables the Icon display. Available Values: ON/OFF Default: OFF Misc Setup #13 [ICON EDITOR] Function: Editing of the User Icon. See page 73 for details. VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL 95 SET MODE Misc Setup #15 [CLOCK SHIFT] Function: Shifting of CPU clock frequency. Available Values: ON/OFF Default: OFF This function is only used to move a spurious response "birdie, " should it fall on a desired frequency. [. . . ]
