NOTE:

Push [MULTI(

)] during full/programmed scan to

change the band being scanned or to select a different pair
of scan edges.

Push [MULTI(

)] during memory (skip) scan to change the

memory channel groups: 1.2 GHz, VHF, UHF, 50 MHz, air
band or WFM programmed memories; or, all programmed
memories.

Repeatedly scans all fre-
quencies over a selected
band.

Repeatedly scans all pro-
grammed memory chan-
nels.

Repeatedly scans be-
tween two user-pro-
grammed frequencies.
Used for checking for fre-
quencies within a speci-
fied range such as
repeater output frequen-
cies.

Repeatedly scans all
memories, except those
set as skip channels.
