CHAPTER

Chapter 3 covered some of the basic settings of VX

3

, such

as sensitivity and audio volume. These were adjustment con-
trols which are used to alter the performance or user prefer-
ences. There are other settings which fundamentally alter the
operation of VX

3

. We will refer to these as mode settings. Dif-

ferent mode settings might affect completely different aspects
of the detector — such as frequency, tracking, and audio — so
taken together they offer a tremendous amount of flexibility to
the user.

While many settings are quickly available on the Live Con-

trol Bar, some of the mode settings require leaving the search
screen and accessing the menus. Each item on the Live Control
Bar has its own menu which can be accessed by pressing the

VIEW

button. Additionally, all modes and settings are available

in the Main Menu, accessed from the Search Screen by pressing
the

MENU

button.
