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 4 resume conditions to suit your
operating needs.
BAND SCAN
(p. 40)
Repeatedly scans all frequen-
cies over the entire band.
Used as the simplest scan
without any preliminary set-
tings necessary.

PROGRAMMED SCAN
(p. 40)
Repeatedly scans between
two user-programmed fre-
quencies. Used for checking
for frequencies within a speci-
fied range such as repeater
output frequencies, etc.
5 pairs of scan edges are
available and scans 1A–1B
(P1), 2A–2B (P2), 3A–3B (P3),
4A–4B (P4), 5A–5B (P5).
