9-2 Scanning Function
The Scan function automatically changes the frequencies and searches for
signals being sent.
The following scan types are available.
VFO scan
In VFO mode, the scan searches all frequencies
within the selected band by using the tuning step
speci
fi
ed in advance.
Preset scan
The scan searches the frequencies within the band
speci
fi
ed in Preset mode.
Memory scan
In memory mode, the scan searches for only
frequencies which have been programmed in the
memory.
Programmed scan
The scan searches a range of frequencies between
upper and lower limits which can be set by the user
in advance.
MEMO
• The programmable items shown in P.35 with do not affect their func-
tions while programmed scannintg, but setting such as tone-squelch
and modulation mode must be completed in VFO mode, and VFO pa-
rameters are always respected for programmed scan.
●
Operations common to all scan types
• Scanning stops when any one of the
［

,
keys is pressed.
• The scanning direction can be changed by rotating the dial during
scanning.
• When the Monitor function is used, scanning is suspended to open the
squelch temporarily. Releasing the Monitor function resumes scanning.
• Scanning starts in the direction of the last scan. (Programmed scan,
however, starts scanning from
A to
b.)
• You can specify conditions to resume scanning. For the setting
procedure, refer to "Scan mode setting" (P. 88).
