SCAN OPERATION
■
Scan types
Scanning searches for signals automatically and makes it
easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes.
There are 3 scan types and 5 resume conditions to suit your
operating needs.
FULL SCAN
(p. 37)
Repeatedly scans all frequen-
cies over the entire band.
Used as the simplest scan
without any preliminary set-
tings necessary.

PROGRAMMED SCAN
(p. 37)
Repeatedly scans between
two user-programmed fre-
quencies. Used for checking
for frequencies within a speci-
fied range such as repeater
output frequencies, etc. 3
pairs of scan edges are avail-
able.

audible tones (e.g. when you want to find a subaudible
tone frequency necessary to open a repeater). See p. 48
for details.
