SCANS

■

Fine programmed scan/fine

∂

F scan

Fine scan functions as programmed or

∂

F scan, but

scan speed decreases when the squelch opens but
does not stop. The scanning tuning step shifts from
50 Hz to 10 Hz while the squelch opens.

Push

[EXIT/SET]

several times to close a multi-

function screen, if necessary.

Push

[(F-5)SCAN]

to select the scan screen.

Set for programmed scan or

∂

F scan as described

on previous page.

Push

[(F-1)PROG]

[(F-2)

∂

to start a scan.

• Decimal points blink while scanning.

Push

[(F-3)FINE]

to start a

ne scan.

• “FINE PROGRAM SCAN” or “FINE

∂

F SCAN” ap-

pears.

When the scan detects a signal, the scan speed
decreases but does not stop.

Push

[(F-1)PROG]

[(F-2)

∂

to stop the scan;

push

[(F-3)FINE]

to cancel the

ne scan.

Memory scan operation

Push

[EXIT/SET]

several times to close a multi-

function screen, if necessary.

Select memory mode.

Push

[(F-5)SCAN]

to select the scan screen.

Set

[RF/SQL]

open or closed.

• See p. 83 for scan condition.
• If the

[RF/SQL]

control function is set as “AUTO,” the

squelch is always open in SSB, CW and RTTY modes.
See pgs. 2, 30, 99 for details.

Push

[(F-1)MEMO]

to start the memory scan.

• Decimal points blink while scanning.

When the scan detects a signal, the scan stops,
pauses or ignores it depending on the resume set-
ting and the squelch condition.

To cancel the scan, push

[(F-1)MEMO]

2 or more memory channels must be programmed
for memory scan to start.
