SELECTING A CHANNEL/FREQUENCY

Using scan functions
(Some versions do not have these functions)
The transceiver has automatic channel or frequency
change capability (scan function). There are 3 types
of scan functions available to suit your needs.
Channel scan and channel resume scan increase
channels within a 5 channel range such as ch 1 to ch
5, ch 156 to ch 160, etc. in user channels; or all chan-
nels in the group of ITU channels.
Programmed scan (optional) changes frequencies
within the frequency range between user channels
159 and 160.
Scan selection is available in set mode. See p. 14 for
scan selection.
