CHAPTER
VX 3 has a number of keypad shortcuts that make certain tasks
easier. They have all been mentioned throughout the manual
(often in Tip boxes) and this chapter pulls them all together for
quick-reference.
How to quickly ground balance
Probably the most important short-cut:
• Pull/hold the trigger, then press/hold ENTER
• Bob the loop a few times over the ground until the thresh-
old sound is fairly constant
• Release ENTER , then release the trigger
How to hide/expand the Live Controls
By default, the Live Controls are displayed as a horizontal
menu. You can completely hide them (to increase the size of the
SpectraGraph region), or expand them to include the settings
(eats up more screen):
• Press ZOOM+
 to show/expand the Live Control Bar.
• Press ZOOM+  to hide/minimize the Live Control Bar.
Tip: Check the ground first (use all-metal pinpoint) to make
sure there are no metal targets where you are trying to
ground balance.
Tip: When you want to find the quietest frequency offset,
expand the LCB, scroll over to Transmit Frequency-Offset ,
and pull the trigger to get into Pinpoint mode. Go through
the offsets and look for the setting that gives the least pin-
point noise. Minimize the LCB when done.
