previously) pass through more than one Group
during the scanning process (normally, scanning
is performed within the current group only). To
include the current Group in the scanning loop,
press and hold in the assigned Soft key for
one second.
To remove a Group from Group Scan, press and
hold in the assigned Soft key again for one second.
Multi-Group Scanning is only possible if you are
using the “User Scan” list.
The VX-800 has two scanning “lists:” the “Dealer
Scan” list and the “User Scan” list. The “Dealer
Scan” list is a fixed group of stations which will
be included when scanning is activated. The “User
Scan” list is a different list, initially arranged by
the Dealer, which may be modified by the User
(if, for example, you want to delete one or more
of these channels from the scanning list).
To edit the User Scan list, press and hold the soft
key (assigned to the Group Up/Down function)
to delete the current Memory Group from the
Scanning. Alternatively, press and hold the “Scan”
Soft key for one second to delete the Current
Memory channel from the Scanning.
ADVANCED OPERATION
During “Follow-Me” scanning (after you have
pressed the key), you can set up the “Dual Watch”
feature by rotating the CH selector knob to an-
other channel. The radio will then scan back and
forth between the original User-assigned Priority
Channel and the newly-selected channel.
The Priority Channel you have assigned (before
pressing the key) will be retained in memory un-
til you change it.
Channel Group Selection
The VX-800 is capable of separating its 200
memory channels into any of ten Groups. There
is no limit as to the number of channels which
may be assigned to each Group. The Dealer will
have made the Group assignment at the time of
channel programming. At the same time, one of
the Soft Keys will be assigned as the Channel
Group Selection key.
To change Channel Groups, press the assigned
soft key to step through the available Groups. Once
the desired Group is reached, rotate the CH selec-
tor knob to select the desired channel within the
selected Group.
