![Page 15VX-1700 OPERATING MANUALOPERATIONFREQUENCY AND CHANNEL SELECTIONThe VX-1700 includes the following frequency selectioncapabilities:A VFO (Variable Frequency Oscillator) SystemITU Marine ChannelMemory ChannelA one-touch (2.182 MHz) Emergency ChannelMemory, which places the transceiver on 2.182MHz (in transceivers configured for Marine use).In the VFO mode, the frequency is displayed on theright side, with the operating mode icon being displayedat the left edge of the display. On the left side of thedisplay, the current synthesizer step size is displayed.In the ITU mode, the frequency and operating modeare displayed as they are during VFO operation; how-ever, the left side of the display indicates the ITU Ma-rine Channel designator.In the Memory Channel Mode, the memory channelnumber is displayed on the left side of the display (forexample, 1-005). The digit to the left of the hyhen isthe Memory Bank Number, while the digits to the rightare the Channel Numbers within that bank. Therefore,in the example below, the display is indicating Chan-nel #5 on Memory Bank #1.In the Emergency Mode, the frequency “2.182.0” isdisplayed on the right side, with the special Alpha Tag“EMRG.”Frequency and channel selection are very simple on theVX-1700:Select the desired channel grouping (VFO, ITU, andMemory Channel) by repeatedly pressing the keypad’s[7(V/M)] key. The circulation of channel groups is VFO Memory Bank 1 Memory Bank 2 Memory Bank 3 Memory Bank 4 MemoryBank 4 ITU VFO …..VFO ModeRotate the CH Selector knob to select the operatingfrequency.If the tuning rate is too slow or too fast, the frequencysynthesizer steps may be changed by pressing thekeypad’s [4(STEP)] key. Available step sizes are 10Hz, 100 Hz, and 1 kHz.The microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] button may also beused to select the operating frequency. Pressing the UPor DWN button momentarily will cause the operatingfrequency to increment or decrement one step, respec-tively. Pressing and holding the [UP] or [DWN] but-ton in for 1/2 second will initiate upward or downwardscanning, respectively. Releasing the [UP] or [DWN]button halts the scan.The VFO frequency may be entered directly from thekeypad.Press the keypad’s [ENT] key momentarily, thenenter six digits of the desired operating frequency(the “10s of Hz” digit can not be entered, even if10 Hz steps are selected; this is a time saving fea-ture). If you make a mistake during frequency en-try, rotate the Channel Selector knob so as to causethe erroneous digit of the frequency to blink; now,press the correct number on the key pad, and con-tinue with the remainder of the frequency entry pro-cess.If you require split-frequency operation (differenttransmit/receive frequencies), press the [ENT] keymomentarily, then enter the six digits of the desiredtransmit frequency; otherwise (to transmit and re-ceive on the same frequency), skip to the next step.Press and hold in the [ENT] key for 1/2 second tofinalize the entry of the VFO frequency (frequen-cies).If you need to change the operating mode, press thekeypad’s [1(MODE)] key. Available operating modesare J3E(USB), J3E(LSB), J2B (USB), A1A(CW), andA3E(AM).Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.FCC ID: K6610511070/IC ID: 511B-10511070](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/10511070/User-Guide-602112-Page-17.png)

![Page 17VX-1700 OPERATING MANUALOPERATIONTRANSMISSIONFor Voice transmission, close the PTT (Push To Talk)switch on the microphone; the transmitter will now beactivated (note that the “ ” icon will be illuminatedon the LCD display). Hold the microphone about 1inch (25 mm) from your mouth, and speak into the frontof the microphone in a normal voice level. Release thePTT switch to return to the receive mode (the “ ”icon will be again illuminated, and the “ ” icon willgo out).For CW (Morse Code telegraphy) in the A1A mode,begin sending using your telegraph key or electronickeyer. The VX-1700 will automatically be placed inthe transmit mode when you start to send, and will re-vert to the receive mode when you stop sending. Asyou send, a “Sidetone” audio generator allows you tomonitor your sending.For Data transmission (including Morse Code telegra-phy using a TNC (Terminal Node Controller) and key-board, or similar computer-driven data transmissiondevices), transmit/receive control is exercised by thesoftware which accompanies the data transmissionequipment in use. See the User’s Manual for your ter-minal equipment for operating instructions. Remem-ber to follow the maximum power output guidelinesduring continuous-duty operation such as RTTY (Ra-dio Teletype) in the J2B mode. Adjust the TX Audiolevel from the TNC for a maximum of 50 Watts ofpower output (5 or 6 segments illuminated on the PowerOutput Bar Graph) if long periods of continuous trans-mission are anticipated.Antenna Tuning ProceduresWhen the optional FC-30 or FC-40 External AntennaTuner is installed, it is activated on each channel auto-matically.If the “ ” icon will appears at the upper right corner onthe LCD display while transmitting, the antenna systemmay require retuning. Use the following procedure.Be certain that all connections to the FC-30/-40 havebeen properly made.With the appropriate channel selected via the MainDial, press the keypad’s [3(TUNER)] key. The“” icon on the LCD Display will blink, andthe VX-1700 will transmit for a short time. Thereafter,the transceiver will return to the receive mode, and the“” icon will now be illuminated constantly.The FC-30/-40’s microprocessor-based circuitry in-cludes memory sufficient to retain 100 (for FC-30, 200for FC-40) antenna tuning settings in memory. Thiswill greatly reduce frequency change time. If you uti-lize more than 100 or 200 operating channels that arewidely removed in frequency, the new tuning settingswill be over-written on a first-in, first-out basis.Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.FCC ID: K6610511070/IC ID: 511B-10511070](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/10511070/User-Guide-602112-Page-19.png)
![Page 18 VX-1700 OPERATING MANUALDUAL WATCHThe Dual Watch feature allows the user or dispatcher tooperate on one channel while periodically making a briefcheck of Memory Channel “1-001” (Memory Bank #1,Channel #1). The Dual Watch feature can be engaged solong as there is frequency and mode data written intomemory channel “1-001.”Every four seconds, the transceiver will automaticallyswitch over to memory channel “1-001.” If a station istransmitting on memory channel “1-001,” one of two thingswill happen:If the VX-1700 is in the “Carrier Drop” mode, the trans-ceiver will hold on memory channel “1-001” until thetransmission ceases. The transceiver will continue tohold for ten seconds after the transmission ends, in casethe other station decides to resume transmitting. Afterthe three second delay, Dual Watch will resume, withyour original operating channel (not memory channel“1-001”) being restored to the Main Display.If the VX-1700 is set to the “Time Delay” mode, thetransceiver will hold on memory channel “1-001” forfive seconds, then Dual watch operation will resume(irrespective of the transmit/receive status of any sta-tions on memory channel “1-001”).Dual Watch operation is simple to use.Follow these steps:First, set the desired “Resume” mode for Dual Watch.Usually, this will be “Carrier Drop,” which will notallow the transceiver to move off memory channel 1-01 if someone is still transmitting. To do this, press the[F] key followed by the [8(DW)] key, then rotate theCH Selector knob until “CARR” is shown in the LCDdisplay. If you prefer the “Time Delay” mode, rotatethe CH Selector knob until “TIME” is displayed. Nowpress the [8(DW)] key again to return to the normaldisplay.Adjust the SQL control so that the “ ” icon dis-appears and the receiver is silenced.Press the [8(DW)] key to activate Dual Watch. Afterfour seconds, the transceiver will switch over tomemory channel “1-001,” and will stay there for 1/2seconds, thereafter returning to your original channel.If a call is received on memory channel “1-001” dur-ing Dual Watch operation, the transceiver will lock ontothat channel, then resume in accordance with the “Re-sume” mode selected previously.Press the [8(DW)] key again to disable the Dual Watchfeature. Operation will revert to your original operat-ing frequency.Note that your main operating channel can be changedduring Dual Watch operation, but you cannot changechannels while memory channel “1-001” is beingchecked for activity.OPERATIONVertex Standard Co., Ltd.FCC ID: K6610511070/IC ID: 511B-10511070](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/10511070/User-Guide-602112-Page-20.png)
![Page 19VX-1700 OPERATING MANUALENCRYPTED TRANSMISSION/RECEPTION (REQUIRES AFTER-MARKETING ENCRYPTION MODULE)OPERATIONIf the transceivers you (and others in your communi-cation group) are using are equipped with the after-market Encryption Module, the Encryption mode maybe activated by pressing the [ENCR] key. The“” icon will become illuminated.To de-activate encryption, press the [ENCR] key again.If the signals of all the other stations in your communi-cations group have a severely distorted or “scrambled”sound, you may have accidentally de-activated yourtransceiver’s encryption mode. Pressing the [ENCR]key may allow recovery. However, if only one stationin your communications group sounds distorted or“scrambled,” it is possible that the encryption mode ofthat transceiver may have been accidentally turned off.Either the dispatcher or you may advise the other sta-tion by switching your encryption off and calling theother station in the non-encrypted mode. Rememberthat your transmissions will be sent in a non-encryptedformat, and will thus not be secure; limit your discus-sion to a brief advisory regarding the [ENCR] key onthe other station’s transceiver, then revert to encryptedoperation immediately by pressing the [ENCR] keyon your transceiver.Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.FCC ID: K6610511070/IC ID: 511B-10511070](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/10511070/User-Guide-602112-Page-21.png)
