VX-1 R  Quick Reference

Only for some NOT custom functions!
                      Symbols: "+": simultaneously; "–>": after.

            NEVER connect the TRX to MORE than 7 V DC

 Current Consumption:      RX:                  150 mA
                           Standby, Saver Off:  50 mA
                           Standby, Saver On:   16 mA
                           Auto Power Off:      0.2 mA
                           TX (0.5 Watts):      400 mA

 TX Power Output:    1 W / 200 mW (@ 6 V EXT DC IN)
                     0.5 W / 50 mW (@ 3.6 V FNB-52LI)
                     0.1 W / 50 mW (with FBA-20)

 Charge FNB-52LI: 2 hours in the radio (turned OFF!) [expected: 0.5 A @ 6 V]

 MIC/EAR jack: 50 mW ext speaker (8 Ohms); ext mic (2 k Ohms)

 —————————————————————————-

 Channel Step/Mode: for each band MENU 7/32; turn OFF auto mode: MENU 31

 RPT input QRG monitor: FW + Monitor

 Search CTCSS/DCS: MENU 24 = TSQ or DCS  –>  MENU 25 or 26  –>  FW + SCAN

 Lock: hold M/V (unlock: the same). AR remain available.

 —————————————————————————-

 DTMF: PTT + BAND = "MANU 0" (if not, UP/DWN) –> BAND again TX number (DIAL)

 DTMF Autodialer: MENU 27 –> Memory 1 to 8  –> hold FW –> DIAL –> FW …
                                             –> BAND or PTT: to store
                                             –> AR: play back

                  PTT + BAND –> UP/DWN select DTMF memory –> BAND again TX

 —————————————————————————-

 Emergency UHF Channel: hold AR; to deactivate hold again

 Automatic FM/TV MEMORY:   PWR OFF –> BAND + PWR ON

 Automatic Memory: MENU 28 (number of sweeps) –> VFO mode –> hold FW
                                              –> hold DWN/UP
                                              To recall: FW + M/V

 Memory Groups (1 RPT [52] or 2 simplex [142]): M/V + PWR ON

 Memory Storage: VFO Mode (set all features) –> hold FW (if blink = occup)
                                             –> FW

 Memory Recall: M/V, select with UP/DWN! Select band. Dial copy to VFO.

 Memory Odd Splits: store RX as above without shift; set TX, PTT + FW

 Memory MASK: Memory Mode –> hold FW –> Dial –> M/V; to unmask, vice versa

 Memory Label: Memory mode –> DIAL –> MENU 3 –> DIAL –> FW…  –> BAND
                                                   M/V –> clear right

 Memory Band Limit: as above, memory L/U; "PS" appears on LCD

 —————————————————————————-

 SCAN: DIAL = direction; STOP: PTT, DWN/UP, BAND or M/V

 SCAN memory skip: DWN/UP –> FW –> DWN/UP; to re-enable: vice versa

 Priority Watch: select memory –> hold FW –> DIAL –> BAND.
                                               To activate: FW + BAND
                                               To cancel: BAND

 Priority Channel can't be overwriten! Change Prio first!

 ARTS: lock QRG. FW + AR –> DIAL –> AR –> AR; AR again exit

 CW ID: MENU 23 –> M/V (clear all) –> DIAL –> FW… AR: play it back
