VX-8R OPERATING MANUAL 51
MEMORY OFFSET TUNING
Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune off that chan-
nel, as though you were in the “VFO” mode.
1. With the VX-8R in the Memory Recall (“MR”) mode, select the desired memory
channel.
2. Now press the key, then press key. The “
MRMR
MRMR
MR” in-
dicator will be replaced by one which says “
TUNTUN
TUNTUN
TUN” (“Memory
Tuning”).
3. Rotate the DIAL, as desired, to tune to a new frequency.
The synthesizer steps selected for VFO operation on the current band will be the steps
used during Memory Tuning.
4. If you wish to return to the original memory frequency, press key briefly. The
“
TUNTUN
TUNTUN
TUN” indicator will be replaced by “
MRMR
MRMR
MR.”
5. If you wish to store a new frequency set during Memory Tuning, just press and hold
in the key for one second, per normal memory storage procedure. The micropro-
cessor will automatically set itself to the next-available clear memory location, and
you then press the key again, briefly to lock in the new frequency.
If you want to replace the original memory contents with the new frequency
settings, 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.
