Memory Scanning
Memory scanning is initiated by pressing the SCN key while the unit is in the memory mode.(M
MODE is lit). The scan will start at the channel following the one indicated on the memory
address. That is, if you are at memory address 5 and press the SCN, scanning will begin at address
6.
— When Memory Bank “A” is indicated —Scanning occurs only in memory bank A. The
sequence is;
AOch, Alch, A2ch
, A9ch, AOch, Alch,.
— When Memory Bank “B” is indicated —Scanning occurs only in memory bank B. The channel
scanning is in the same sequence as that of the memory bank A scanning.
— When Memory Bank “A—B “ is indicated —Scanning occurs in both banks alternately.
The sequence is;
AOch, Alch, A2ch
A9ch, BOch, Blch, B2ch ,B9ch, AOch, Alch, A2ch,...
Note:
1) Memory bank A or B is selected by the A/B key.
2)
In the A—B continuous scanning mode, A will flicker during the A bank scanning
and B will flicker during B bank scanning.
Band Scanning
By pressing the SCN key during the UP/DOWN mode(without M MODE indication), a specified
frequency band between two frequencies stored in channel A8 and A9, B8 and B9 or, both ,
according to memory bank indication A, B and or both, and frequency step pre—programmed in.
Band scanning takes place at about 8 channels per second. The lower limit frequency should
normally be stored in A8 or B8, and the upper limit frequency in memory A9 or B9. When the
frequency in memory address 8 is higher than that in address 9, band scan will begin at the lower
limit frequency, in other words, from the frequency stored in the Memory Channel 9 to that in the
Memory Address 8.
When there is both AM and FM signals in the same memory banks, scanning in the Bank Scan
Mode is disabled, sounding a beep to indicate this is an error, as shown below.
A8 AM
A9 AM
Scanning is OK
B8 FM
B9 FM
A8 AM
A9 FM
Scanning is disabled and a beep is
B8 FM
B9 AM
sounded to indicate a setting error.
Note:
When scan stops at a busy channel, both A,B is indicated. But when scanning is
stopped by pressing the UP/DOWN key, for instance, the memory bank indicator flickers,
telling you that the bank flickering is in the A—B mode.
