Tuning Methods
Throughout this manual, you will see references to
several different frequency setting methods. Each will
be particularly useful in a particular operating situa-
tion, and they are described below:
¦ VFO (Variable Frequency Oscillator)
The VFO is a “tuning
dial” system which al-
lows you to tune
through the NAV or COM bands in 25-kHz steps
using the CHANNEL selector, the Keypad, or
the scanner.
¦ MR (Memory Recall)
The MR (Memory Re-
call) mode of the VXA-
150 provides the user
with the ability to store and recall as many as 50
channels in the radio’s main memory bank. These
memory channels may also be labeled by you
with an alpha/numeric name of up to 8 charac-
ters in length, to aid in quick identification of
the channel. See page 22 for details on creating
alpha/numeric labels.
¦ BOOK (Pre-Programmed) Memories
The Book memories are
pre-programmed, either
at the factory or by your
Dealer (depending on your country’s require-
ments), typically including the major COM band
station frequencies used in your area. The Book
memories can be changed by the user. See page
29 for details.
¦ WX (Weather Channel) Memories
(USA version only)
Ten Weather Channels
are pre-programmed at
the factory as appropriate for your country, and
the VXA-150 will automatically scan this spe-
cial bank when it is selected by the user.
